No. British F**g is the Union Jack. Confederate is Stars and Bars. Reconquista by La Raza.

I am truly less concerned about what other countries may or may not have done in the past. Since the current focus seems to be "America First" - why not have America to be the First in kindness, respect and concern for others, first in education, science, the arts. Why the push to be 'first' in isolation, separation, segregation, and discrimination?

Surely you have heard "love thy neighbor as you love yourself."

The answer to your question is that until the Progressive philosophy and agenda are wiped out and defeated those laudable attributes of which you speak cannot be "returned" because progressived fight against them and substitute their own perverted moral and values in their place pretending their own are more practical and representative of modern and progressive mankind; part of their sought after, never attainable, earthly Utopia. Furthermore, your comment shows a lack of knowledge and understanding about America's past and ignorance as to who is making us into what even the Middle East "non radical" Muslims call the Great Satan and a nation that progressives call one of perfect freedom.

Your last sentence is pure unadulterated blather of the kind that you've been spoon fed and gobbled up like a famished guppy. You have zero understanding of America. Everything you believe is run thru the Progressive propaganda filter before you think and speak. Your body might go where it pleases but your mind is imprisoned.

You are really good at proving just how little you really know. If you were to read and comprehend the Book of Revelations - you might discover that the America you described is not a utopia at all, but rather an a*********n to the true Living God. I would remind you that for "he who has ears let him hear" - but I know you don't even understand what that means.
You spend a lot of your time and energy trying to tear me down...and for what purpose? Your petty insults, juvenile level of comprehension, and lack of mental acuity indicate that you have very little, if anything, going for you. So, instead of presenting yourself as one of understanding and sustenance, you instead opt for the ignorance and prevalent h**eful rhetoric of the republican party -totally unaware that when you stand before the Creator - no thought will be given to 'who you v**ed for' as much as how many people you attempted to rob of happiness. What's so sad about it all is that its truly unnecessary - and you are totally unable of stealing my joy -something else I'm certain you don't comprehend.

So, unless you change your h**eful ways, I will make sure to stand far away from you on Judgment Day cause its going to get hot!

Do you live in the real world? America has been the most generous nation in history. If you are less concerned with what may or may not have been done in the past, let me just add that I was going to say "that was then, and this is now" but whenever this is said the liberals get all upset and want to d**g out past history to badmouth America instead of recognizing the good that we have done and the progress we have made. They can't seem to get over the past and all the associated issues from those days. S***ery is just one example. One-Hundred and fifty years later and the race-baiters are still trying to dredge up old wounds.

First in isolation, separation, segregation, and discrimination? I think not. America is the most welcoming society and most multicultural. If you think otherwise then you need to visit foreign countries and actually talk to the people who live in these other countries. It is because of the left that we have separation, due to identity politics. The Democrats promise each group to fight for their cause (in other words, to protect them from the other groups)and this foments r****m. Why is everyone a hyphenated American? African-, Latin-, Mexican-, Asian-: There are only Americans. Anyone can become an American! If you moved to France could you become French? Moved to Japan, Japanese? Moved to India, Indian? No! Only America accepts anyone, regardless of nationality or ethnicity, as American. All they have to do is follow the rules and assimilate. Our strength comes from E Pluribus Unum, Liberty, and In God We Trust! We adopt the best of other cultures. Unfortunately, those who do not want to assimilate bring the worse of their culture to America. Sharia law, for example, has no place in our Constitutional Republic. We support the arts, science, and education more than any society. You have the freedom to pursue wh**ever path in life you want, unencumbered by the state, except when the progressive socialist Democrats are in control. They love to tell everyone what is best for their own good. The hubris of elitism. Around the world, people want to study at American Universities. Out schools could be better but some cultures do not value education and learning as much as others. Parents are not involved in their children's schools and learning. There is an elementary school in Los Angeles that has 87 different languages spoken. I hardly call that assimilating. Total immersion in English is the way our past immigrants assimilated. I'm not saying they have to forego all their customs and language when they become Americans. We should teach bilingualism starting in pre-school. But as a nation, we cannot survive a tower of Babel.

You really should think about the positive things America has provided to you and then you will be able to change the things that are bad, with love in your heart, and not disdain for anyone who doesn't follow your path of thinking. The left suffers from too much group-think and not enough tolerance. What country would you rather have been born in or live in? If not America, then where? Name one!

dtucker300: if you were to review your above post again, and exchange "left and democrat" for "right and republican" it would still be correct. The problem, in my opinion, is this resurgence of division and discrimination that spoils America's attempts to truly be that "one nation under God."

Everything else you wrote can be attributed to those who do NOT share the American dream of E Pluribis Unum. Additionally, as a descendant of s***es, I have to disagree that "its a 150 year old problem" because the effects of s***ery are still very present today.

Perhaps because many do not personally experience the awfulness of discrimination they have a difficult time seeing it for what it is. Peace be unto you.

So says you! I could agree with you but then we would both be wrong.

padremike Loc: Phenix City, Al

That poor guy is certifiable. He needs to get his internal GPS recalculated.

dtucker300 Loc: Vista, CA

He's not so bad sometimes. Has a victim mentality.

JediKnight

…..but at least we would be in agreement -which beats adversity any day!

JediKnight

Isn't it amazing that we often feel the exact same thing about one another?

You speak about my internal GPS....while I think you need to check your conscience, values, and morals. truly amazing.

padremike Loc: Phenix City, Al

Conscience, values and morals? Once again you speak to things you cannot possibly understand because you're a Progressive and as a Progressive you accept their moral relativistic compromise of true values and morals thereby also destroying any resemblance of possessing an informed conscience.

You may "feel" a particular way about me and I fully understand how your preconditioned, unruly and unreliable Progressive generated excitable emotions overrule reason. We observe it everyday. However, I know, without distracting emotional assistance, what you are and the corrupt and evil agenda and philosophy you believe and follow slavishly. If allowed to succeed Progressivism will destroy America.

JediKnight

You keep making the mistake of trying to pigeon-hole me with the 'progressives' you h**e so much. I have told you before -I don't maintain allegiance to any particular party - I v**e with the person who presents the best platform, has the best positive character, and seeks to do the most good for the majority of people. It is really not my fault or design that it just so happens that republicans abandoned their morals, values and conscience to pursue r****t and discriminatory practices.
My "thoughts" about you are based solely on what you present here on this forum. I made the personal decision many years ago to accept Christ as my Savior, to believe in Him, and to follow His teachings to the best of my ability. Christ is not affiliated with any political party -but He taught above all else that mankind should: 1) Love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, mind, and soul....and 2) to love your neighbor as you love yourself.

I see the current republicans as doing all within their power to defy the very basic and fundamental laws of God, and until they change, there is nothing you can say that will change my mind. Good day to you, and may peace be unto you.

padremike Loc: Phenix City, Al

What you are incapable of understanding, and never will, is that when you falsely make the claim Conservatives have abandoned their morals, values & conscience to pursue r****t and discriminatory practices you're a liar, not a petty liar, a damnable liar. To believe those sort of lies you are duty bound to believe the lies that Progressivism tout stating they are virtuous and Conservatives are evil.

You claim to to be a follower of Christ. My observation is you're not much of a follower it you find Conservatives more evil than those who have murdered over 60 million children, promote homosexuality and every other sexual deviance as normal, natural and healthy, who destroy the sanctity of marriage and changed God's beautiful rainbows into something d********g and disrespectful. Those who have unquestionably bore false witness against the President out of the single overbearing motivation of satanic sponsored hatred. You believe them because you listened to them, eventually believing them while your type of Christian morals, values and conscience condemn Mr. Trump without even suspecting he may have sought forgiveness and reconciliation. You're the sort of Christian who would be angry if you knew he was a Prodigal Son.
