"America is Rome reincarnated." I don't agree. Rome had a pagan beginning and then many of her citizens became Christians during the first three centuries. Then Constantine acccepted Christ and moved the capitol to Byzantium. Some 100 years later the old Rome fell to the barbarians and all of Christianized Europe fell under the power of the pagan Germanic and Slavic tribes. The Christian forces in the West slowly regained power and the Charlemagne and his sons pushed the wild Germanic and Slavic pagan trives back across the Rubicon. Christian Europe finally emerged with France being the center of political and military power and Western Christian Rome became the center of religous power.(Remember that the Eastern Roman Empire in Constantinople didn't fall until 1492?) Both Eastern and Western Rome began the evangelization of the Germanic, Slavic and Anglo-celtic tribes of northern Europe. This missionary effort ended in the formation of the Christian/European Civilization. In contrast, America was founded as Christian colonies and after the influence of Talmudic Judaism and their masonic and Unitarian collaborators slowly became the semi-secular "democracy" that we have today.
