The reason is simple - it is still a British Colony in that its citizens still pay taxes to the British Crown.

Coz they are a bunch of Billy-bob Sally-Mae inbred, gun toting, illiterate, retarded morons who dont even know what side of their bread is buttered?
The USA was part of the first British Empire, while the Commonwealth only takes in those countries that were part of the second British Empire, of which USA were not

I shall post up my summary of the work of James Montgomery just before July 4th, 2017. It makes for interesting reading. I have to assiduously research what Mr Montgomery says, and it takes time.salvajeuno wrote:Please explain?springrain wrote:The reason is simple - it is still a British Colony in that its citizens still pay taxes to the British Crown.
I also (as a History teacher) have some interesting tidbits about one Abraham Lincoln to reveal - the man used Slavery as a mere pawn to further his own ambitions. This man is quoted in 1858 (and I can prove it) as saying that he had NO intention of regarding Blacks as having equal rights to Whites. He merely wanted the Blacks to fight on his side in the Civil war. Indeed, the 37,000 did make a difference. But I wouldn't expect many Americans to know much about that...
