“America is an idea – an idea that free people can govern themselves, that government’s powers are derived from the consent of the governed, that each of us is endowed by their Creator with the unalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. America is the belief that any man or woman can – given economic, political, and religious liberty – advance themselves, their families, and the common good.”
So if you agree with the proposition, you are an American. Being born here means nothing. Then they scream that immigration laws are not being enforced.
Why?
If anyone who Believes is an American, we should have what Brazil had when it was being settled. In the harbor was a boat with agents of Portuguese Inquisition, and no one was allowed to land until he had talked it over with THEM.
In a Propositional State, it is the Inquisition which decides who Americans are.
The Republican Party Obedients, like everybody else, knows the Preamble to the Declaration of Independence. Not one of them can recite the Preamble to Constitution. America was not founded to tell the world how it should behave. It was founded only by the American people and for the American people.
If taken as our guide to the world, the Declaration is pure Imperialism. Everyone back to Rome and long before enforced their will on other countries to CIVILIZE them.
For their own good.
The scariest thing in the world a person can say is, “It’s for your own good.”
A person who is doing something he admits HE wants to do has limits on his actions. But when someone is doing something For Your Own Good, he has no limits, no conscience, and no mercy.

Yes, the GOP concedes everything from the get go and then demands respect, not one bit different than the anti-white white traitors of the Democratic Party.
There is only one Party and that is the Party of Tyranny, tyranny and treason pure and simple.

Pretty interesting the comparison to Rome. It seems once Rome lost its morals and started intermixing it failed. This seems to repeat itself in history. Alexander the Great wanted to make some sort of blended humanity and create alexandria oh and was a a peter puffer and his empire fell just the same as the Romans. I thought the point of studying history was to learn from the mistakes. Once again here is another powerful country trying to intermingle to make some sort of blended humanity and let homosexuals in our military its just a matter of time

The Republicans see America as a Propositional State. They are honest, they will stay the course, they just told you so. They got their nick name, “The Stupid Party”, for a reason!
Political parties survive by attracting voters affixed to labels, conservative, liberal and moderate. Race identity as a political ideal would destroy the two party racket, a racket dependant on silly labels. To protect the racket, racial identity as a political issue will never be tolerated by either party.

Bob has said before that the Declaration of Independence was a document of war. It was a weapon of propaganda meant to give our potential sympathizers in England and France a philosophical reason to support us.
He was right that it was a document of war. It was a weapon on the political front. And now that weapon is being used against us. When it was crafted, it was pointed at our enemies and calculated to help enforce our right to exist as a nation.
Now, it is pointed at US and calculated to help deny our right to exist as a nation. It’s sick that this is allowed to happen, but there it is.
We need to get out in the trenches and reclaim it, or at least counter it with Mantra thinking.
They say the Constitution is not a suicide pact. Neither was the Declaration. In fact, the Declaration wasn’t really a pact of any kind. It was a followup to the Lee Resolution on independence that had already passed on July 2, 1776 — yes, one of THOSE Lees.

The idea of a propositional state defies everyday experience. it is a good battle ground for our side because few buy into it. Instinct tells us that the building blocks of a nation are blood and soil. These instincts are correct.
The most difficult thing to ask a man to do is to throw away his life. Sacrifice it. Death is not a popular prospect. One of the world’s greatest generals was Douglas MacArthur. He was a masterful orator. He did not waste words. When he hit a nail it went in straight.
On the verge of battle before the landing at Leyte he addressed the troops. He did not wave a flag. He did not invoke ideals. He hammered at and hammered home what America meant to those boys and men about to pour onto the meat grinder beach they were anchored off. He shunned lofty ideals. He spoke to the soul of what makes a people, a land, a society, a nation.
In his peroration he spoke thus:
“As the lines of battle roll forward to bring you within the zone of operations, rise and strike.
“Strike at every favorable opportunity.
“For your homes and hearths, strike!
“For future generations of your sons and daughters, strike!
“In the name of your sacred dead, strike!
“Let no heart be faint.
“Let every arm be steeled.
“The guidance of divine God points the way.
“Follow in His Name to the Holy Grail of righteous victory!”
This country is not words, opinions, concepts or heaven inspired goals. America, and any nation, is homes, hearths, future generations, sons, daughters and sacred dead.
