Endangered species: Americanis nationis…

I am sure that you are at peace now that polar bears are a protected species. Maybe I am just a bit cynical, but I believe that as long as the seals are plentiful so will be the polar bears. I suppose I am not as brilliant as are Washington politicians. Their foresight is often breathtaking. Besides, should not the Darwin worshipers be talking to us about natural selection and the survival of the fittest? The polar bears are doing well, it seems, as their population has quadrupled over the years. If humans were doing as well, there would be no room left for us.

Our beloved politicians, a collection of sprayed on hair dos, flowery speeches and empty suits, keep telling us that they are going to make America great once again. When I observe that aristocratic assortment of men and women promising to make my country great again, I want to look them in their collective eye and ask; when exactly did America cease being great? Insisting that America has lost her greatness shows disdain, not love for our country.

Hillary says how we have to start acting like Americans again. When exactly did we stop acting like Americans? And who exactly in the world community is going to breath a sigh of relief when Bush is gone? Bin Laden will be happy to see Bush go, perhaps?

All America’s middle-class needs is protection from America’s political-class. I propose a warning to accompany all political ads. “Caution, history has shown that political promises and the pandering nitwits who deliver them may be hazardous to your existence.”

Bada-BOOM!

natio (nation) is feminine.

Natio americana...you may have heard of “Pax americana.”

nationis: nation, race, people, breed; pagan people

At least if you can trust the translator at this site: http://www.sunsite.ubc.ca/LatinDictionary/

Americanis - made it up. Guess I need to work on my Latin

this is the great problem with both bush and mccain. neither actually believe in this country. they represent international elites of the type that show up at davos every year.

i got an email from fiona what’s her name who screwed up hp & compaq. her social skills are such that she can go on to a steller career in politics and screw every thing she touches in the same way Robert McNamera did.

her email wanted to know what things I thought most important. were dozens of multiple choices. there was nothing on the border or illegal immigration.

she is perfect, dead and useless. the advances the cause the internationalists. she goes to davos every year.

McCain of course, married money. so he is bought.

nationis is the genitive form meaning “of the nation.”
natio is the nominative form — “the nation.”

Latin nouns take case endings. We don’t have them in English except with the pronouns — “he/him/his”, “we/us/our/ours,” etc.

The sunsite isn’t wrong — but you have to know what you’re looking at. Look up “natio” on that site — you’ll see the same translation.
