In August, a guest on Tucker Carlson’s podcast said something that immediately caught his interest. The United States faces a fundamental rift “between heritage Americans and the new political class,” Auron MacIntyre, a columnist for Blaze Media, argued. “Heritage Americans—what are those?” Carlson asked.
“You could find their last names in the Civil War registry,” MacIntyre explained. This ancestry matters, he said, because America is not “a collection of abstract things agreed to in some social contract.” It is a specific set of people who embody an “Anglo-Protestant spirit” and “have a tie to history and to the land.” MacIntyre continued: “If you change the people, you change the culture.” “All true,” Carlson replied.

My own observation from studying our worthy American heritage and history, is that the American Revolution and birth of our nation began with the birth of Jesus. Followed by the Bible, and then the printing of the Bible that became available for individuals to read and study.
That was a major building material along with related developments leading to the Letters of Correspondence and First Continental Congress. Foundations for limited government and individual liberty, taking root over a period of thirteen decades before the Declaration of Independence.
From European history and events leading to civil wars in England, followed by examination of such conflicts, there were significant developments:
- Magna Carta
- election of militia officers by townsmen (instead of by lords)
- election of sheriffs by townsmen (instead of by lords)
Foundations for duly elected representation.
All of the above foundational work, presently unknown by:
- the enormous number of foreign, intolerant people coming to America, and
- ignored by the domestic, intolerant members of academic and new media.
Tragic, that people who historically have wanted to come to America, to be free Americans - are now very much in the minority and barely recognize-able in the leftist dogma.

The Thin Red Line of Heroes

I’m adopted but I have seen my birth mother’s family tree. Our ancestors were in Quebec (very Catholic) by the 17th century. That branch later immigrated to Vermont.
Haym Solomon, a Jew, kept the revolution alive. He fund raised and loaned his own money to help Washington win the battle at Yorktown.
Most of my ancestors came in the 1700’s before the Revolutionary War. A few were here in the 1600’s.
I had a several-greats-back grandfather that was pals with Daniel Boone. I guess that is pretty good cred.
Swipe, save, and share:
Slaves? Your family needs reparations too.
How do you get reparations? For one thing, you’d need a lot of historical evidence. I have a family genealogist who might know.
BTW, he just took a DNA test and we’re related to the British family generations ago when they had at least half a brain.
It’s a work ethic that crowds out a lot of higher values...
........’’I am adopted so the above does not apply to my pedigree.’”
You can get a DNA test. My cousin Walt, family genealogist, just had one and discovered we are related to British royalty many centuries ago before they were so stupid.
.
No clue where you get that test or how much it costs, but you might try asking your MD.
We're probably cousins....
Trump is also the only American President with no slave-holding ancestors, unlike all the others including Obama.
Correct. Kind of crazy.
Untrue. Maryland was a Catholic colony; John Carroll, governor.
“”””””I take it according to Carlson if your colonial ancestors settled in Maryland you lack American Heritage.”””””
“Population growth was very slow from 1634 to around 1650, with probably fewer than 1,000 people living in Maryland.”
Maryland population in 1650 was about 4500
“In 1700, the estimated population of Maryland was 29,600, about one-tenth of which was Catholic (or approximately 3,000). By 1756, the number of Catholics in Maryland had increased to approximately 7,000, which increased further to 20,000 by 1765”
Well, they were Democrats, so... hate is their only superpower.
See post 53.
Me too. Roger Tyrell and Abagail Ufford, Boston, 1632 on the second Puritan fleet.
That’s not accurate. My dad’s family was here since 1649 and my mom’s since the early 1700s. Both sides were Catholic.
Pardon me, I meant to say Charles Carroll.
Exactly!
