E pluribus unum.
Guess this idiot would disagree.
We will only become a cohesive country when we start to celebrate our COMMONALITY again. Diversity of origin but commonality of purpose. The Left is tearing this country apart. I hope there will be a road to recovery someday. That road is not close, though.
>>Or does Diversity itself have a limit?<<
Of course it does. Any man-made construct is limited by man’s inferiority.
It’s all fine until it all comes crashing down. Unfortunately, it will, despite the optimism of the Limbaugh’s and Hannity’s. This kind of lunacy can’t endure.
“Diversity” is the root cause of every war in history. Civil wars are not because people are too alike. It’s because they have differences. I’m tired of having diversity crammed down my throat. So, my next door neighbor wants to sexually mutilate his daughter?
At one of the jobs I worked a 45 year old Palestinian flew home to get married. He returned with a pregnant thirteen year old. (I met her when she was eighteen and mother or five.) He selected her because, “She was in he poorest circumstances and would be the most grateful to me for taking her away.) Diversity, oh yeah. His goal was to have nineteen children as that’s what his father had done.
The Federalist is not what it used to be.
Why invite the Prof “I am a Christian but I am more broad-minded than you” to sprout homosexuality on the coca cola ad?
I certainly didn’t get the vibe of ANY HINT of us rejecting the coca cola ad because some homosexuals speaking Spanish or other language.
Border, Language and Culture makes a country a country.
“diversity” A politically correct word that means “Surrender all the ideals upon which your country was founded in order to make enemies of your country feel at home here.”
We are NOT a diverse country. We are a melting pot. Come here and become AMERICAN or don’t come here at all.
Diversity is a scheme of the left to destroy us.
Imagine if pig iron was able to say, "Hey, I'm part of this steel, but I'm going to retain my pig iron properties." If that's the case, then the pig iron isn't fully integrated into the steel. Therefore, it becomes a weakness in the quality of the steel.
Joe Rigney is an evangelical Christian the same way that Episcopalians or Presbyterians call themselves Christians. They ordain practicing homosexuals to leadership positions within the church, only to have them preach homosexual advocacy and immorality to the flock. Yes, that type of Christian.
>>Or must we humbly dissent from the Americanist creed and in so doing be branded as bad Americans?
I’m beyond caring whether I’m branded a “bad American”.
“... one that is as committed to Gelernter’s fourth great religion as any patriotic redneck or Constitution-wielding Tea-partier.”
And herein lies the key to the writer whole perspective of America. In his small mind, only rednecks are patriots and only a “Tea-partier” would “wield” the Constitution.
On the other hand, he may be correct. You seldom see patriots or Constitutionalists these days who are liberal.
I quote what a visiting pastor said often in Free Republic because it so often relates to the topic at hand. But it has never related as well as it does in this thread, so I post it again:
Where would the early church have been if they had put their faith in Rome?
Diversity means all races, sexes, religions, ethnicities and income groups united in leftism and the goal of dismantling America. The last part is key. Anyone of any category who does not share that goal is not considered “diverse”.
By her very nature, America represents a wide “diversity” of peoples from all walks of life and from all over the world.
That isn’t what irks me about this ad.
What irks me is that they sang “America the Beautiful” in languages other than English!
When people want to become US citizens they must among other things “Be able to read, write, and speak basic English.” (from the Basic Requirements for US Naturalization)
In addition, they must take the following oath IN ENGLISH:
“I hereby declare, on oath, that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen; that I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I will bear arms on behalf of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform noncombatant service in the Armed Forces of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform work of national importance under civilian direction when required by the law; and that I take this obligation freely without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; so help me God.”
Now if this ad showed the diversity of all Americans (both native born and naturalized) all singing “America the Beautiful” IN ENGLISH then I doubt anybody would have had any objections to it and it could have very well been one of the best ads of the Super Bowl.
But as it is, it flopped big time.
Brilliant article. Choose you this day whom you will serve...said Joshua.
When you concealed-carry guns are allowed in one state and private ownership of firearms is effectively outlawed in another, you may as well be dealing with people and governing officials from two different planets.
It's in Coca-Cola's best interest to spout this "diversity" nonsense far and wide. They're in the business of selling soft drinks, not unifying nations ... and they don't really give a sh!t who buys their products.
My Great Grand father was born in Sicily, came here with not much more than the shirt on his back. When he passed away he owned half a city block in Buffalo NY. When his daughter (my grandmother) complained about needing to learn English he told her that you live in America you will learn to speak English.
The entire basis of this jackasses argument is cartoonish bigotry. NOT the timeless ideals and Principles proffered by the Founding Fathers. No. Stupid Leftist Bigotry. That's it...
