Authentic America

[MilSpecs]

She claims to have ancestors that came over on the Mayflower and as such speaks for all tvue Americans with her open boder penchants and third wave feminism.

Great a fucking Wasp Puritan... They're the best of the Anglo culture let me tell you.

Damn straight. They got the job done and gave us a strong and lasting society. Dutch New York did a pretty good job establishing capitalism as our economic philosophy along with religious tolerance. New England cities and towns gave us a strong desire for freedom. The same wanderlust that brought them all here in the first place founded the west. These attributes are all authentic America.

By wanderlust she means being kicked out of their own nation for being bizarre puritanical Hebrew worshipping cultists.

You word that like you have an issue with the melting pot notion while I've seen you literally post we are a melting pot. The only issue you have with your fellow Americans is that they aren't liberal enough for your taste.

Most people who came here wanted to be Americans. The melting pot is just the spice, not the substance.

In the 18th and 19th centuries, the metaphor of a "crucible" or "smelting pot" was used to describe the fusion of different nationalities, ethnicities and cultures. It was used together with concepts of the United States as an ideal republic and a "city upon a hill" or new promised land.[citation needed] It was a metaphor for the idealized process of immigration and colonization by which different nationalities, cultures and "races" (a term that could encompass nationality, ethnicity and race proper) were to blend into a new, virtuous community, and it was connected to utopian visions of the emergence of an American "new man". While "melting" was in common use the exact term "melting pot" came into general usage in 1908, after the premiere of the play The Melting Pot by Israel Zangwill.

Your wasp culture is over and done and you still insist we all be like you losers. Sad!

Massachusetts is hardly the only place that was colonized. I mentioned multiple other groups. The Dutch, the Quakers, the English, the French. The 13 colonies had colonists who were not Puritans. There was even a Catholic colony.

Then why do you keep insisting you're part of it?

[TheReal_ND]

The Ductch, English and French colonists all shared the same strain of puritan protestantism. Quakers, and their French equivalent that I forget the name for alike. The Catholics were here first but whatever. Nobody from Catholic countries wanted to turn America into a papal state despite your protestant ancestors dizzying view of what makes America America.

I don't identify with wasp culture. I find it to be a sick tree. Judge a tree by it's fruits and all that. It will be gone shortly after you leave this world.

[Speaker to Animals]

I think Anglicanism had a chance, but they were brought down low by their Protestant cousins. Now they have women priests celebrating gay marriages and driving Christians from the pews.

America you are at war with yourself.

But then again... maybe you always have been.
