Re: We have to take back the culture
Many of the people who want to take back the culture don't belong to our culture. They're the product of immigration into the U.S. Not only did they not entirely assimilate; they altered our culture.

Re: We have to take back the culture
We Americans are an amalgamation of just about everyone and everything. That's why we are Americans and not the French, or Chinese, and if immigrant assimilationd completely we'd be some weird variation of the English.MilSpecs wrote:Many of the people who want to take back the culture don't belong to our culture.

I'll argue all day, everyday about our mess of an immigration process we have, and would agree we need to control it much more. But I will very certainly not demand that an immigrant subsume himself into whatever kind of "approved" Americanness is deemed correct.

Re: We have to take back the culture
Ah no. Before 1965 we had strict rules against that sort of thing. We are almost certainly an "amalgamation" but it was one of our own choosing and not "anything and everything"We Americans are an amalgamation of just about everyone and everything
Please try again you fucking hippy.

The articles author makes this claim

Does the Left hate average folks ?They hate you.
Leftists don’t merely disagree with you. They don’t merely feel you are misguided. They don’t think you are merely wrong. They hate you. They want you enslaved and obedient, if not dead. Once you get that, everything that is happening now will make sense. And you will understand what you need to be ready to do.
You are normal, and therefore a heretic. You refuse to bow to their idols, to subscribe to their twisted catechisms, to praise their false gods. This is unforgivable. You must burn.
Crazy talk? Just ask them. Go ahead. Go on social media. Find a leftist – it’s easy. Just say something positive about America or Jesus and they’ll come swarming like locusts. Engage them and very quickly they will drop their masks and tell you what they really think. I know. I keep a rapidly expanding file of Twitter leftist death wish screenshots.

The Left won’t say it out loud – at least not yet – but make no mistake. If violence is what it takes for the Left to prevail, then violence we will have. You saw it, and you were meant to. Berkeley was a message about the price of dissent where leftist hold sway. And they seek to hold sway everywhere
True fact.

No, that's perfectly reasonable political commentary.
