Question What are the most conservative, free-market, Bible-obeying Nations in the world? - 10-26-2013, 05:12 PM

I'm starting a project to list the world's nations by how closely they follow the Bible and/or Republican Party Platform.

To Do:
http://www.nationmaster.com/index.php is a great research tool for this project.

I also want to keep things lively with lots of pictures, anecdotes, and so on. I don't want another dry, dull paper that only eggheads read. Please post links to information on the nations we talk about.

There are already lists of which nation claims to be the most devout, based on polling, church attendance, etc. This is good, but only part of the picture, however. I'm looking for deeds, not just words. That means that even Muslims can be counted as "Bible Obeying", because so much of Biblical Law and Sharia Law overlap (due to their plagiarism).

To avoid:

There are also the "economic freedom indexes" compiled by the Fraser Institute in Canada and the Heritage Foundation in Washington, D.C. However, these lists are completely flawed, they simply listed nations by wealth, resulting in Sweden and other socialist nations around the top!

I sure hope they don't end up believeing their own propaganda, I don't want to see the Star Spangled Banner replaced by an ABBA ditty any time soon!

Now why would the Heritage Institute be willing to praise socialist Sweden over free-market Somalia? Is race a factor?

Anyway, the claims that Singapore, Hong Kong, New Zealand, Or Chile are/where particularly free-market are bogus. Read on to find who the real contenders are.

Close but not perfect: The "Failed States Index"

What happens when government gets "small enough to drown in a bathtub"? Liberals call this a "failed state", but True Christians™ call it a successful private-sector.

The "Failed States Index" from Foreign Policy magazine measured the same things I'm looking at, but it uses an incomprehensible liberal propaganda-language. I have translated to english [in the brackets].:

The pressure [of] border disputes, ownership or occupancy of land, [Private property taken seriously, "you kids get off my lawn" on a larger scale]

Massive movement of refugees and internally displaced persons ["Labor market mobility" is a pro-business phenomenon. America will look like this for a while after we take over, as the illegals and non-Real Americans are deported.]

Legacy of vengeance-seeking group grievance: based on recent or past injustices, which could date back centuries. [The Spirit of the Confederacy: The South Shall Rise Again]

Institutionalized political exclusion. [Prevention of Voter Fraud.] Public scapegoating of groups believed to have acquired wealth, status or power [through affirmative action] as evidenced in the emergence of "hate" radio, pamphleteering and stereotypical or nationalistic political rhetoric. [A patriotic environment with no political correctness or pandering to foreigners and freaks.]

Chronic and sustained human flight: both the "brain drain" of professionals, intellectuals and political dissidents and voluntary emigration of "the middle class." [Urban elitists are told to "go back to Russia", and they finally do.]

Economic indicators
Uneven economic development along group lines: determined by group-based inequality, or perceived inequality, in education, jobs, and economic status. Also measured by group-based poverty levels, infant mortality rates, education levels.["We Should Revel in Inequality" - Margaret Thatcher.]

Collapse or devaluation of the national currency [people are switching to Gold, as every Goldbug libertarian has recommended] and a growth of hidden economies, including the drug trade, smuggling, [unregulated free-markets that don't wait for the government to disappear] and capital flight. [Globalization in action] Failure of the state to pay salaries of government employees and armed forces or to meet other financial obligations to its citizens, such as pension payments. [Less money wasted on public-sector parasites and welfare]

Political indicators

Criminalization and/or delegitimisation of the state: endemic corruption [free speech, according to the Supreme Court's Citizens United ruling] or profiteering [trust liberals to call the profit motive a bad thing!] by ruling elites and resistance to transparency, [no invasions of privacy by wikileaks etc.] accountability and political representation. Includes any widespread loss of popular confidence in state institutions and processes. [People know how bad government is.]

Progressive deterioration of public services: a disappearance of basic state functions that serve the people, including failure to protect citizens from terrorism [liberal for gun control and persecution of militias] and violence and to provide essential services, such as health, education, sanitation, public transportation. [better left to the private sector] Also using the state apparatus for agencies that serve the ruling elites, such as the security forces, presidential staff, central bank, diplomatic service, customs and collection agencies.[I'm so sick of "ruling elite", we prefer the term "business community".]

Widespread violation of human rights: an emergence of authoritarian, [decisive] dictatorial [maverick] or military rule [supporting the troops] in which constitutional and democratic institutions and processes are suspended or manipulated. [Because 9/11 changed everything] A rising number of political prisoners or dissidents who are denied due process consistent with international norms and practices. [Guantanamo Bay] Any widespread abuse of legal, political and social rights, including those of individuals, groups or cultural institutions (e.g., harassment of the press, [liberal media held accountable] politicization of the judiciary [Citizens United, Bush V Gore], internal use of military for political ends, [or turning the police into soldiers, giving every town a SWAT team] public repression of political opponents, religious or cultural persecution.)[defending Real America from Cultural degeneracy and Sharia Law]
Security apparatus as "state within a state": an emergence of elite or praetorian guards that operate with impunity. [Support the troops, back the blue, let the NSA do whatever it does] Emergence of state-sponsored or state-supported private militias that terrorize political opponents, suspected "enemies," or civilians seen to be sympathetic to the opposition. [Militia Movement] An "army within an army" that serves the interests of the dominant military or political clique. [Blackwater/Xe/whatever it's called now] Emergence of rival militias, guerilla forces or private armies in an armed struggle or protracted violent campaigns against state security forces. [Free-market competition might as well also apply to militias.]
Use of aggressive nationalistic rhetoric by ruling elites, especially destructive forms of communal irredentism or communal solidarity (e.g., "ethnic cleansing", "defending the faith").[Patriotism.]
So, now that we see that a "failed state" is a liberal code-word for conservative utopia, let's see who the most conservative nations are:

Best are on top:

Somalia
Democratic Republic of the Congo
Sudan
South Sudan
Chad
Yemen
Afghanistan
Haiti
Central African Republic
Zimbabwe
Iraq
Ivory Coast
Pakistan
Guinea
Guinea-Bissau
Nigeria
Kenya
Niger
Ethiopia
Burundi

Conclusions:

There must be something wrong with the index if Saudi Arabia doesn't make the top 20. I notice the failed states index didn't say anything about feminazis or homos. I think that explains why Islamic Nations didn't do so well. We'll need to add feminazism and sodomites to the calculations before our index is truly complete. Anything else missing?

Edit: I also wonder why Cambodia isn't higher on the list. Also North Korea with its patriotism, law and order, support the troops ethic, and it's corporate consolidation (the whole economy is basically one corporation), and lack of whining about inequality (the whole nation is the property of a hundred or so people).


Disagree? By failing to register and debate me, you prove that liberals are factless frauds who only persuade through intimidation. To prove otherwise, debate me!
