Although I tried, honest I did, I could not read past these two paragraphs:

Here is the first:

++++ It says that a party that carries on about the importance of e pluribus unum and rails against the identity politics of assortedR, minorities is increasingly tempted to indulge the paranoid (and losing) identity politics of a dwindling white majority.
++++

One From Many is what we should have. The Democrats have a different goal and are succeeding. Their goal is "e pluribus pluribus" which is almost certainly incorrect Latin but you get the idea. The result is a continuous dilution of our culture and its replacement by some sort of Politically Correct Socialist Nirvana envisioned by , the Leftist Elite and their MSM whipping boy.

No thanks.

Here is the second:

++++
It says that a sizable constituency in a party that is supposed to favor a plain reading of the Constitution objects to a plain reading of the 14th Amendment: “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside.”
++++

According to this WSJ Idiot we are to believe that a "plain reading of the Constitution" requires that we assume that the phrase "and subject to the jurisdiction thereof" was added to fill space. His interpretation is the same if these few words are left in or taken out.

He is wrong. That man who wrote those words had no such intention and such a use would upset any honest (non-Democrat) English teacher.
