America Is History

[Captain Caveman]

1. I mean that in both senses.....an important part of Western Civiliation's history.....and, that it is over.
At least the America that my parents came to be part of.


2. How to put together that so may 'Americans' subscribe to this:
full-blown anti-white racism,

socialism,

infanticide,

opposition to free speech,

standing with criminals and felons rather than law-abiding citizens

substituting illegal alien voters for the American citizenry,

support for rioters, arsonists, murderers, and anarchists,

accepting payment from Communist China for future considerations,

and anti-Semitism… the knuckle-dragging, atavistic pagan party.


3. This was an American, celebrated in history:
September 22 1776 Connecticut schoolteacher and Yale graduate, Nathan Hale was captured by the British (betrayed by Colonel Robert Rogers, who had been playing both sides) and charged with spying. Taken to NYCity, hanged, without trial, on September 24, at the age of 20. Before his death, Nathan Hale’s celebrated last words, “I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country,” echoes a remark by Cato, “What a pity it is that we can die but once to save our country.”Hale repeated a passage from Joseph Addison’s (1713)Cato:

How beautiful is death, when earn’d by virtue!

Who would not be that youth? What pity is it

That we can die but once to serve our country.



4. An echo of this:

Then out spoke brave Horatius, the Captain of the Gate:
‘To every man upon this earth Death cometh soon or late.
And how can man die better than facing fearful odds,
For the ashes of his fathers, and the temples of his Gods,

Horatius at the Bridge by Lord Macaulay

In the grand scheme of things, America has a tiny bit of history. Hollywood and Disney is not great history.

Too bad that Republicans don’t respect our Constitution

You don't know anything about the Constitution. You just blah, blah, blah.

 

[rightwinger]

You don't know anything about the Constitution. You just blah, blah, blah.

I have actually read the whole thing

Republicans dont get past the second amendment.
At that, they only read half of it

 

[GMCGeneral]

Again I do not advocate murder
Just a short stay at a camp until you get your mind right

You will enjoy being a liberal
We get free stuff

Sure you do. All Communists do.

Your Democratic Party is in collusion with China and Mexico actively working to take down this country. You have no proof for your claim. I have plenty of proof for my claim.

Republicans attacked our Capitol NOT China or Mexico

Republicans attacked our Capitol NOT China or Mexico

Their minions, the Democrats, went a few notches higher by attacking several USA cities during the Summer of 2020.

The Amendments come after the larger text on what form of government to have and how it will work. About 95% of the Constitution has been covered by the time you get to the Second Amendment.

If you "actually read the whole thing" you'd know that and won't make such a bone-head error with your "only read half of it", lie.

They respect it far better than you Leftist Commies whom want to treat it like a "living document" that needs to be rewritten.

Conservatives sought to overturn our Republic

Conservatives seek to preserve the Republic and protect it from you enemies within.

 

[Stryder50]

A Republic is a form of Democracy

People VOTE for their representatives = Democracy

More detailed and nuanced than that. Which you would know had you read and understood posts #57 and 58 above.

"We pledge allegiance to the flag and to the REPUBLIC for which it stands ..."

The only time either 'democracy' or 'republic' is mentioned in the Constitution is, in Article IV, Section 4. where it states:
"The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, ..."

Once again

A Republic is a Democratic form of government
If people vote for their representative, it is a Democracy
