Borders language culture are all side issues. Nationalism is not admirable in and of itself.
We need to return to the ONLY thing that makes America unique and free: the CONSTITUTION.
THAT is what we need to return to, Mr. Savage, because history has taught us you can be nationalist and socialist at the same time.
NO THANKS.
I never understood why in Germany the Nazi’s and the Red’s hated each other so much. They are both socialist in nature, as well Hitler was on the right in that country politically.
A couple weeks ago I was reading about the issue and I finally had the issue explained. Hitler and his Nazi’s where Nationalist (only Germans and their culture), the Reds believed in world social/communism. Thus the hatred for each other. Back to this country, it seems he have similar party’s, both increasingly socialist. One is more nationalistic (republicans), the other more worldly socialist (democrats). Ultimately, they are both evil and have long ago stopped representing their constituents.
My 2 cents.
I agree, the connotations of a “nationalist” party are nothing but trouble and it won’t matter one bit if they’re real or imagined.
I’d rather be known as a constitutionalist.
We can be what we are...Real Americans.
And drop acting as...AINOs.
Semper American!

Are you sure? You base this statement on what?
Was the Constitution — to which you rightfully direct our allegiance — was not born in a borders-less, language-less, acultural vacuum.
It is not hard to run mentally through most culures today and immediately determine that they could not have produced the Constitution.
Moreover, I would submit that few cultures today would respect, revere, or KEEP our Constitution.

Borders, Language, and Culture were all things that our Founding Fathers believed in....you know, those gentlemen who created our Constitution
If you prefer the current UN/World Bank/NAFTA/CFR Soverignity-robbing Free Trade Communist Globalism....I am sure the EU could use some supporters.
Agreed.
Nationalism is scary.
Let us return to FREEDOM
Ok, how about Constitutionalists who fight for the preservation of our borders, language and culture? Which, in effect, also includes a respect and adherence to our history and traditional beliefs and thus, a belief in the trite but true, “American Way”. Hence, nationalist. Nary a drop of socialism need be in there.
I wish you define your particular definition of “not admirable”!
Borders of a nation are not to be sieves, through which immigrants can squeeze through.
Language and culture define a nation.
Our national language is English, German missed by one vote.
Culture is what a nation has as its historical background, or as a conglomeration, to make a nation what it has become. Our culture is unique, because we are NOT Old World Europe, or old World Asia. Europe looks at us, and calls us ‘uncultured’. But, then again, Europe has never truly been a place engendering Freedom in any of its history, now has it? Freedom IS our culture. Although the media would have you think otherwise, America is not a place where royalty is held in high regard.
Nationalism, according to Webster, is: a devotion to one’s nation; patriotism. Since when is patriotism ‘not admirable’? Tell that to the next of kin who have lost one of their’s in military service to this nation, and see what happens! Tell that to the many military veterans of this nation, who still stand proud when the Flag comes by in a parade, or at an event when the National Anthem is played, and see what happens!
Muslims running rampant, wanting to change OUR ways of over 200 years, to bend to THEIR quizzical and dangerous point of view; illegal immigrants, some dangerous (9/11, drug lords, etc), some maybe trying to get to a place to start over outtside of a life-threatening environment. And you say “nationalism is not admirable at present”.
I would tend to think you are one born after the fall of the Berlin Wall, and therefore, the world you know, is different than the world that I know.
If that is not the case, you have just earned the title of “lizardspoor”!
