The concept of Nationalism has historical implications. Depending on the context, nationalism can be a unifier or it can be a divider.
The letter “N” in the term “Nazi” represents National Socialist German Workers’ Party. Webster defines the word Nationalism as demonstrating strong support of ones country, at times to the detriment of foreigners.
President Trump has been touting and shouting the idea of “Nationalism.” It is his new pet word. I think it is metaphorical and sums up his doctrine on immigration.
I do not blame Trump for the bomb threats or violence of any kind that continues to occur in this country. But he needs to turn the volume way down. He is the leader and it starts with him.
Did President Trump use the term “White Nationalism?” I heard Jewish leaders say the President is not welcome in Pittsburgh until he denounces White Nationalism. That’s a little unfair since he never used the term.
Isn’t it obvious why Trump does call some media outlets “fake news?” Trump has a Jewish son-in-law and Jewish grandchildren, still CNN is implying that Trump is a big part of the reason 11 Jewish people were massacred in a Pittsburgh Synagogue.
The latest horrific shooting clearly brings attention to two things: 1. There are sick demented anti-semitic bugs crawling around the world. 2. Banning citizens from owning assault weapons is way past due.
There are ways Nationalism and Jingoism can be manipulated to support bad causes. But to call Nationalism a bad word means we are totally losing the perspective of what America is all about.
Part of the problem in this country is too many people construe Nationalism as some type of evil word. Breaking news: You can be a Nationalist and still care about foreigners and foreign countries.
The shooting shit has got to STOP!!!! Whatever it takes.
Yes, Trump needs to tone down his rhetoric. In turn, the Trump haters need to stop holding him responsible for all things bad, including it being a cold rainy fall in the northeast.
Unfortunately, Trump has shown he will always hit back hard. Like it or not he will continue to counter punch when he hears what he deems biased news.
As I was watching Sean Hannity the other night I noticed he appears to be turning orange. Is it possible radical Trump supporters are required to change the color of their skin?
Megyn Kelley made references to “blackface” as a Halloween costume, and got fired for doing it. Folks, this is where the political double standard has led us.
It is fine for Don Lemon to call Kanye West “Houseboy,” “Uncle Tom,” and “Token Negro.” Don Lemon is the most intelligent and honorable person in America. Just ask him.
President Obama had 58 seats in the Senate, and control of the House, yet did nothing to fix our immigration problems. I know, it’s Trump’s fault.
Wasserman, Warren, Booker, Biden, Clinton, and Cuomo. That’s the list of Democratic 2020 Presidential hopefuls. I forgot the Democratic frontrunner today is Michael Avenatti!
The Boston Red Sox are no longer the poor little underdogs with no championships since 1918. Today, they are one of the Kings of the sports world, and the Yankees are not. Don’t give me 27 – 4. We live today!
We have plenty of “Never Trumpers,” we have plenty of “Always Trumpers,” is it ok that I am a “Sometime Trumper?” The haters call me disingenuous.
Myself and Anna Navaro are making great strides towards having a amicable relationship. We stared into each others eyes for a very long time, and at least from my take away, found a piece of common ground.
Nancy Pelosi has been a congresswoman for 30 years, her average salary over those years was $150,000. According to google her net worth is 196,000,000. Yup, she has really been in Washington fighting for the American people.
This kind of self serving, pay for play, is criminal on both sides of the aisle. There is only one way to stop the erosion of our gov’t. A politician gets two terms and any other form of income during their terms is prohibited.
Two years have passed and Robert Mueller has come forward with zero evidence that Trump colluded with the Russians. It took the FBI two days to find the moron sending out pipe bombs to prominent Trump haters.
I heard Laurie Segall say it on CNN. “Social media helps spread violent rhetoric, social media stimulates much of the domestic terror that occurs in America.”
If it is true that immigration is the biggest issue in the upcoming mid-term elections. President Trump and the Republicans got an early Christmas present called a “caravan”. There is a large difference between seeking asylum and seeking a free pass.
November 7, 2018 the Senate will have 54 Republican Senators and 46 Democratic Senators. The House of Representative will continue to have a Republican majority. This is where America is at in this moment in time.
There are three major issues that will have caused the above results: Economy, immigration, and foreign affairs.
I will indulge in two local political predictions. Andrew Cuomo will win easy over Marc Molinaro for Governor, and John Faso will barely sneak by Carlos Delgado for the Congressional seat.
Both the left and right get equally crazy with their conspiracy theories. For the record, the Koch brothers and George Soros are decrepit old men who are fortunate to get of bed in the morning let alone controlling any sort of deep state.
I would guess Don Lemon is a good man, with a good heart. So why does he constantly embarrass himself on National TV by blatantly pandering to the left? Lemon has turned into a mean version of Sean Hannity.
I was back in Allentown Pa. last week doing some work at my Alma Mater. I sat on the steps of the old library where the second stage of my life’s journey began. Going back to the beginning helped me comprehend how far I have traveled.
The words of Buffalo Springfield wrote in 1967 make a lot of sense today. “I think it is time we stop. Hey. What’s that sound? Everybody-look what’s going down?”
“I love turning back the clocks, so it gets dark by 4 pm,” Said no one ever.
