Consider the history & defined purposes of many American settlements:
Religious considerations as to settlement in America could not be clearer. All up & down the Atlantic coastal States, you will find religious factors in who settled in what communities--many deliberately intended to represent particular theological views, values & desired associations.
The Founding Fathers made it very clear, also, in leaving virtually all questions of social value out of the delegations of power to Congress; moral issues being left to the States, many rooted in particular religious sentiments. Equally clear is the way the First Amendment was worded. It forbid any Federal interference with local religious establishments--read it for yourselves. The ACLU has deliberately falsified the issue.
Then consider the precise language in the Preamble to the Constitution, which defines the purposes for even having a Federal Union! It is specific to a specific people--the Founders and their "posterity," their lineal descendants. It is about preserving their liberty to be themselves; certainly, not forcing them to act like "citizens of the world"--or something equally fanciful & oxymoronic. America was never about uniformity. It was always about the Liberty of specific peoples to be themselves.
It is an absurd overreach, that a particular people, deciding to protect their continuity, are somehow wronging any other people. We need to stop accepting the insults of those who want to diversify the heritages of the world's unique peoples into some form of social chaos--where nothing is sacred; where all material & cultural achievements are effectively appropriated by social theorists.
There is nothing morally wrong--or even controversial among rational people--in any community wanting to preserve their unique heritage for their own posterity. On the other hand, there is a great deal very wrong with a President, sworn to uphold the Constitution, who has already deliberately flooded rooted American communities with re-settlements of large numbers of strangers (who adhere to completely incongruous value systems.), without the consent of those targeted communities. This has effectively destroyed local school systems.
It is not Trump who is betraying American values. It is the political slanderers who are pulling out the stops to arrest his campaign.
Good post, very well said.
0bama has ignored our Constitution and any law he doesn’t personally agree with and the media for the most part is mum.
Trump proposes a common sense measure that is also lawful and the media crucifies him.
