"Blood does matter because history defines political culture."

Does blood thus define history? And, what specific group founded America? .

Before I respond to the other implications of your remark, I want to be sure I understand what you mean by "blood" and it's relationship to history...for it seems you are implying that all history is merely an amalgamation of tribal histories...

Also, you imply that teaching tribalism to kids is a good thing...do I get you right? If so, that means if I teach my kids it's evil, is that wrong? Is it Anti-Semitic?
