@@SamuelClemente7718 Are you suggesting one should not celebrate their heritage or ethnicity? The Mixing Bowl Theory suggest just the opposite. We celebrate our individuality while also celebrating being an American. Or. am I wrong?

American legal immigration was halted from the mid 1920's thru the mid 1960's to allow the Ellis island crowd to assimilate into American society which, was smart.

[@pam751]

I do not understand, did everyone miss the definition of "illegal"? People are welcome to America when they choose to do it right, but do not think it is acceptable to come t America and try to make America like the country you left! If you left your country, wasn't it because you did not want to live the way you were living? What makes these people think we want to?

Too many different cultures that don't live American values----Illan Omar for one

[@bobtokarchic494]

When my grandparents came into the US in the early 1900's, they were the first generation and had a difficult time acclimating. Language, education, skills and culture were all different. The 2nd, 3rd, 4th generations assimilated and became more Americanized for the lack of a better word. It's the same today as yester year. They come as they want a better life for themselves and kids, but it's hard for the first generation, it takes time. And let's admit it the majority are here and will stay.

There are at least two answers to this question in the Holy Bible.

[@eightiesmusic1984]

I don't think The Manic Street Preachers support Trump. It is one of their best albums but I am surprised to see it referenced under a video containing lots of right wing comments. A moral compass not a bible is what Trump supporters need. Orange Jesus is the opposite of what Christianity should be about.

[@Crookedcaucasian]

⁠​⁠@@eightiesmusic1984Which moral compass? Hindu, atheist, Islam, Buddhist? The fact remains that America is founded on the principle that all men are equal under God. The judeo-Christian values can be followed even if you aren’t Jewish or a Christian. But at some point we have to agree that American values are Christian values whether you believe in God or not.

[@Crookedcaucasian]

@@eightiesmusic1984And yes Trump is not Jesus nor should he even be compared as such. But a president is a leader, and a leader must make his values clear to the people he is entrusted with.

[@WarHawk-]

If he is so smart and honest then why doesn't he tell the truth abut what will happen when Trump takes over the Presidential duties - based on something that has already been publicly stated by Trump, his MAGA supporters and the President of Heritage Foundation, Kevin Roberts - that {paraphrased} they will not accept anything short of a complete win regardless of what the actual final vote count shows, and that there will be no BLOODSHED as long as the current government steps-aside come January. It is a FACT based on virtually ALL dictatorships around the world, that once an individual has COMPLETE POWER with ABSOLUTE IMMUNITY, they will never voluntarily relinquish control to another person or group of persons. There is no such thing as "Dictator for just one day" as Trump has 'humbly' said - a Dictatorship is forever unless violently overthrown! Another FACT is that dictatorships stay within a family - passed down from one family member to another OR to a designated 'regime heir'. There are NO legitimate elections to reelect a Dictator because their 'term of office' never actually expires.

[@septembersurprise5178]

"No party holds the privilege of dictating to me how I shall vote. If loyalty to party is a form of patriotism, I am no patriot. If there is any valuable difference between a monarchist and an American, it lies in the theory that the American can decide for himself what is patriotic and what isn't. I claim that difference. I am the only person in the sixty millions that is privileged to dictate my patriotism." - Mark Twain VOTE!

*_As opined by Tucker, the "Consensus" American View is already established directly and clearly in our Unanimous Declaration of 4 July 1776._* IOW: ALL of our COMMON American characteristics --- those beliefs, truths, principles, etc ... that define us as a NATION --- have been with us since the inception of our NATION ... which, for now, has been in front of our collective faces for almost 250 years. As Americans, our NATIONAL SHAME is that so few of We The People are even aware of this consensus ... aka our National Covenant. It is not yet too late to correct this scandal.

[@Will_Schrank]

Excellent insights by Tucker. Sometimes I think he is right on the mark, and other times I think he’s way off; this was an example of the former. Not only do we have to be able to vote for the candidate we think is best suited for the job without being socially ostracized, we also must be free to consider other views and have open, honest, respectful, substantive discussions about those views. However, just as the left has demonized Trump, they have done the same to any prominent voices or media outlets that express views that challenge the left’s narrative. That is how they shape public perception. They control 90% of the messaging, and they demonize the other 10% such that nobody will listen to them - or if they did listen, they wouldn’t acknowledge it because they would be mocked and unfriended. (The 90/10 figures are unscientific wild a** guesses. Whatever the actual percentages are, the point remains the same.) For example, when was the last time you heard someone on the left say “I was listening to Tucker last night and he made some interesting points. Here’s what he said, and here’s where I think he’s wrong.” I have never heard that. The only acceptable comments about Tucker are expressions of hatred and accusations of racism, bigotry, ignorance, f@sc!sm, etc. Another example is Jim Jordan of OH, a prominent Republican leader in the House. He’s chair of the House Judiciary Committee and a member of the House Oversight Committee and a smart, tough, well educated person. Jordan has uncovered highly disturbing evidence of wrongdoing that deserves attention and a response from the Executive Branch. Ask someone on the left what they think of Jordan’s work and chances are they will ignore his entire professional career and say, “oh, you mean Gym Jordan?”, referring to unproven allegations from over 30 years ago when Jordan was an assistant wrestling coach at Ohio State. Allegedly, the now-deceased team doctor was seggsually abusing some of the athletes, and some claimed Jordan knew of the abuse and did nothing to stop it, which Jordan has consistently denied. Jordan could present undeniable proof of massive crimes and corruption in the Biden administration and the response from the left would be to mock him as Gym and move on without even considering the evidence. Can anyone name a few prominent Republicans or others who have spoken out against the Democratic Party in recent years who are not universally hated and reviled by Democrats?
