You have not explained how you can be against the Constitution, rule of law, free speech and freedom of religion and still call yourself 'American'.Bob, I've been defending the Constitution and the Constitutional rights of others and fighting with Democrats and Progressives over it or about it since the day I arrived many years ago and I'm still doing it today. If you want a war with America then by all means continue supporting the Democrats that you've been supporting and by all means continue ignoring the Democrats as they undermine the authority of the Constitution, the rule of law, and control/remove free speech and attack/threaten the freedom of religion as you continue questioning me and calling yourself an American. You are one f-d up Democratic believer who happens to be an American by birth these days.
The Constitution, rule of law, freedom of speech and freedom of religion are ideas, principles. Looking at them through the WEIRD lens, you find tribal thinkers loyal to tribes, groups of people, as opposed to WEIRD people, loyal to ideas, concepts. In your recent posts, you are illustrating the difference. If you are willing to trash the principles in order to stay loyal to the folks you perceive as smilier to you, you are tribal thinking.
As you are redefining words, I guess I will call you a native of Acirema, which would be America spelled backwards, indicating opposition to the principles which America stands for. It just gives me the word America back, allows common usage. I don’t have to bother with phrases like ‘US native’ to differentiate what I am saying from your cockeyed fantasies.
If you are capable of wrapping your mind around principles, define how Democrats are against the Constitution, rule of law, free speech and freedom of religion? The red version of these concepts seem to be invading the capitol, lying habitually, and using the government to enforce religious beliefs.
That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
