Nationalism doesn’t mean the same in America as the rest of the world because of the Doctrine of Negative Rights.

To be an American Nationalist is to support the innate rights of human beings as superior to government.

No other nation is based on that concept. In fact, it flips the common meaning of “nationalism” on it’s head.

Yes and no. American Nationalism is the notion that being an American is something special. One of the reasons is the one that you mentioned. The fact that there is no ethnicity or ancestry that makes you “American” is another big part of that specialness. A first generation naturalized citizen is as American as person who can trace their roots back to the Mayflower.

The transnational communists in our government do not believe that—any of it—so the Tea Party is a nationalist (nationalist in the American sense of the word) entity created to combat them.

Pity so few people understand that.

Well said! There is one un-American a-hole who speaks directly about overturing that most precious doctrine.

Spot on.
