Do I deserve such condescending tripe?
The Levitical plan for Israel was to be a nation of tribes spreading from the Nile to the Euphrates. Apparently you missed that.
Thus it says E PLURIBUS UNUM on top of the Capitol E PLURIBUS TRIBAL BALKINZATIONUM
It sure as heck didn't mean "from many individuals, one nation." The motto speaks of a union of states, and hence federalism. Interesting also is that so much of the Constitution was from the Iroquois, but I digress.
Strange that you argue from individualism, and thence to the state. Did you know that this is a central tenet of fascism? My point was that extended family loyalty is clearly central to the exercise of liberty, a principle that is woefully missing in the discourse of individualism and one also having powerful military advantages. Your disparagement of tribalism as inherently barbarous is misplaced, especially considering the tribal intellectual sources of that republic you've raised to the level of borderline graven image.
BTTT. Nice work, as usual.
>>The Levitical plan for Israel
Applies to Israel.
Not to America.
>>Did you know that this is a central tenet of fascism?
Fascism is the mandated self-worship of the state.
Precisely the opposite purpose of the American Republic: TO SECURE THESE [individual] RIGHTS.
