1. The Rubio speech in Munich was simply amazing. He told Europe exactly what the the Trump view for the world is. Here is one quote:

"An alliance that does not allow its power to be outsourced, constrained, or subordinated to systems beyond its control; one that does not depend on others for the critical necessities of its national life; and one that does not maintain the polite pretense that our way of life is just one among many and that asks for permission before it acts."

He is saying that that Leftist lie about all cultures being equal for respect, is a danger and a detriment.



2. Central to the idea of Liberalism is the demand for everyone making up their own code of morality....and that there never be any criticism of same.
It is based on the Boas' view of all cultures being 'equal.'
"The roots of postmodernism can be traced to the anthropologist Franz Boas, who, in an effort to study exotic cultures without prejudice, found it useful to take the position that no culture is superior to any other. Thus was born the idea of cultural relativity.
The idea spread like wildfire through the universities, catapulted by the radical impetus of the sixties, ready and willing to reject "the universality of Western norms and principles."
Bawer, "The Victim's Revolution"



3. Both as a child and in university you were given a view of Indian' culture, that they were great stewards of the land. It is false: theirs was a savage stone age culture
While they did have fire, probably due to a confluence of natural events, they never developed even the simplest implements of mechanical advantage. The rest of the world did, thousands of years prior.

That simplest of ‘tools’???? The wheel.

“The invention of the wheel falls into the late Neolithic, and may be seen in conjunction with other technological advances that gave rise to the early Bronze Age. This implies the passage of several wheel-less millennia even after the invention of agriculture and of pottery, dtheuring the Aceramic Neolithic.

Two types of early Neolithic European wheel and axle are known; a circumalpine type of wagon construction (the wheel and axle rotate together, as in Ljubljana Marshes Wheel), and that of the Baden culture in Hungary (axle does not rotate). They both are dated to c. 3200–3000 BCE.

See any wheels in this picture?

Any books?

hese were stone age savages, who had the sensibilities of savages.

They were 3 thousand years behind the civilization of the settlers.
These were stone age peoples, thousands of years behind the advancement of the settlers. They moved from one locale to another, using up resources, burning down entire forests, and slaughtering species to the point of extinction.....and each other.




4. Due to their need for the black vote, the Liberals will never criticize their culture, the very thing that restricts black advancement.
There is no racism in America, no white privilege. But there is two-parent privilege.



5. Of course the most dangerous pretense is that the culture of Islam has a place in America or Europe or any free society. It demands adherence to a strict primitive code, and keeps women in subjection, demands death for apostasy, and for those who refuse the submission (which is the name of Islam) to Islam.
Who began the lie that Islam is the religion of peace?


Rubio's brilliant speech demands trat the West adher to our civilization and culture, and stop pretending that any other culture meets the same support for mankind.
 
You're painting Native Americans as stone age savages, but that’s a huge oversimplification. Many societies were highly complex long before European settlers arrived. Cahokia had massive cities, advanced agriculture, and organized trade networks. Judging them by the presence of wheels or European technology misses the point. Progress isn’t one size fits all, and your standards are extremely Eurocentric.

The same goes for the rest of your post. Treating entire groups as monolithic problems is incompatible with logic.

Did you claim that there is no “substance” in this OP?

A series of indisputable facts leading to an undeniable conclusion.


1.Most of us are old enough to recall that claims that the Democrat Party is socialist/communist were greeted with vehement denials.



2. About half of the Party’s supporter always came from the interchangeable terms socialist/communist/Progressive/ etc. Professor Kengor said this: "The progressive left, and the liberal left, while not themselves communists, share many of the same sympathies, such of redistribution of wealth, and worker’s rights, nationalizations of industry, etc, but are not quite as far left as the communists, and would not go to the same lengths as the communists to achieve their goals. This does not mean, though, that the help of these dupes is not necessary in order for the communists to achieve victory. Even at their peak, in the ‘30’s, the Communist Party of the United States never had more than 100 thousand members: so deception of the ‘dupes’ was critical. Dr. Paul Kengor, Hoover Institution, Stanford “DUPES: How America's Adversaries Have Manipulated Progressives for a Century




3. Push came to shove when Communist Bernie got more votes than Hillary in 2020, and had the nomination outright stolen because the establishment Democrat couldn’t allow Marxism to be their brand.




4. In a recent thread we found that only one Democrat voter said he would reconsider voting Democrat depending on their agenda (Why Are There No Democrat Intellectuals?). Communism is just fine.




5. Openly communist/Marxist candidates are openly running under the Democrat banner, and winning.

“The socialist movement led Zohran Mamdani to victory.

….easily the most important factor in Zohran’s victory is the movement that Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) has built in New York City since the Bernie Sanders campaign in 2016. I want to stress two elements.”






The Socialist Movement Led Zohran Mamdani to Victory

Pundits have emphasized Zohran Mamdani’s videos and charisma and Andrew Cuomo’s weaknesses in Mamdani’s victory. But easily the most important factor in that victory is the movement that the Democratic Socialists of America have built in New York City.

So, today’s Democrat Party is not an American party, and if you vote Democrat you are casting aside any American values, heritage, and identity…….comrade.

What does this have to do with what I said about the OP?
 
It indicates what a windbag you are and why none of your post need be paid any attention.


I bet you hear that a lot, huh?
Oh. So that monologue is the reason you don't address my points. You sure it's not because you're too scared to actually engage?

Time for you to find someone who cares what you think, windbag.

You have no ability to actually debate facts and reality. You have giant monologues designed to tire people out to the point they just move on. Then you can pretend you actually won a debate you never had.

Based on his speech at the
Munich Security Conference on February 14, 2026, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio argued that Western civilization is forged by a shared history and Christian faith, which he described as a "sacred inheritance" linking the U.S. and Europe.
While some reports and commentaries specifically highlighted his reference to a "Judeo-Christian inheritance" or tradition in the context of defending Western civilization against cultural erosion,....

In his February 2026 speech at the Munich Security Conference, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio called on allies to "revitalize an old friendship and renew the greatest civilization in human history"
. He argued for defending a Western civilization, rooted in shared history and Christian heritage, that is confident in its future and master of its own destiny.



This is what government school did not teach you.
 
While they did have fire, probably due to a confluence of natural events,

Eh, they could have had OCD tweaking on Peyote rubbing two sticks together.

Or...

One Injun was walking down a path not paying attention looking at his flint while another Injun walking towards him on same path not paying attention with his iron meteorite...

"You got iron on my flint..."
"You got flint on my iron..."

That's all I got.

You live that AI bullshit dream don't you. Why don't you have the confidence to make your own points? Its embarrassing.

I was taught that the Iroquois 7 Nations created democracy, and the Founders, led by Ben Franklin gave them credit that the Founders copied. This is the quote Franklin wrote: “It would be a very strange Thing, if six Nations of Ignorant Savages should be capable of forming a Scheme for such an Union… ” That’s it. Get the colonies together. The savages…
  • Had no written language
  • No election of leaders
  • Chiefs selected based on bloodline
  • Indians had nothing close to a Western Democracy
  • They were 3 centuries behind the Europeans in civilization (look for development of the wheel)
  • The Indians had nothing todo with our founding, no role in our constitutional history and are not mentioned in any of our founding documents. The idea of a confederation could have come from what the Greeks did to resist the Persians.

So carefully selecting that which puts America in a poor light gives us the government school grads called Democrats.
