In a column entitled "Which Party Loves the U.S.A.?," the Washington Post's E.J. Dionne, Jr. presents an interesting formulation. Democrats love their country more than Republicans, because Democrats love it the way it is right now (with burgeoning non-white immigration, altering the demography), while Republicans (above all, Mr. Trump and Senator Cruz) "yearn for the United States of Then."
It appears that Mr. Dionne has in mind more than a mere change in color among our people when he observes, "Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, and Martin O'Malley all stand for the rights of a younger America today's country that is less white, more Latino and Asian (and yes, more Muslim) than was the U.S. of the past. " For, he continues, "[t]he cultural changes that have reshaped us are welcomed as part of our historical trajectory toward justice and inclusion."
And so it appears that there was something good about the America of Then: it had an admirable historical trajectory. The problem, we venture to suppose, was that Americans of old did not realize that this trajectory of justice and inclusion pointed in the direction of making the white race the minority. Some of them may have thought that in the case of slavery, justice consisted in the end of the slave trade, followed by emancipation, followed by civil and voting rights. Others may have thought it good to have people come here from around the world, but perhaps not that justice dictated turning the country into Africa, Latin America, or Asia. Why is that the target of the historical trajectory for Dionne? Do justice and inclusion dictate against there being any white-majority countries? Is that a punishment justly meted out to the guilty white race because of its transgressions at the beginning of the historical trajectory?

Yup... a mob rule.
AND YET Latinos, Africans, Indians, Arab, Persian, and any other non “white” (as defined by the LSM) flock to nations run by white people.
And look at America run by non white (white is a state of mind according to the trans racialists). More racism, more angst, and a genuine hatred of white Americans by the federal government. Rather then lift up every one else whites are being punished to drag them to the level Obama deems fair. And those mean nasty republicans. Trump, who has more minority support than any democrat, Cruz, and Carson are the front runners.
I hate even having to debate like this and use the vile premise the left has constructed.
Don’t hate making unorthodox observations — they are the only way we are going to see anything new, the only way we might spy an exit from the cruel box that we are in.
Now the picture we have would not be complete if we did not also allow ourselves to spy God standing at this exit.
I hope that our dear illiberal liberals are getting tired of their own game — and eventually all but those bent adamantly on hell, will tire of it. It is artificial, it is phoney, after all. The place for God and the gospel is to show them earlier in the process that there is a better way to go and what it is.
Yes I am for preaching gospel to conservatives and liberals alike.
Good point!!!!!!
Democrats love America like Bobby Brown loved Whitney.
Notice also the history of gerontocracy (old rulers) that prevailed in the old USSR.
They still get young blood in there from time to time (our dear Barack for example) but this inevitably looks like youth which has been systematically and cruelly drained of all good sense. It’s like these old insane codgers were all standing invisibly around Barack, laughing at the folly bait they made out of him.
Can we have a rousing chorus of “Young At Heart”? As irony to the Democrats; as encouragement to the common sense crowd. Which doesn’t even need to be physically young; look at Donald Trump.
Trumpiteers
Conservatives want the America they see in their rear-view mirror. Liberals want the America they see in their crystal ball.
This doesn’t look like a plug for the Donald... can you explain?
What... just what... if we could fix that crystal ball.
Yep, Ozzie and Harriet are dead. Will there be a viable conservative movement once whites are no longer the majority? Will we have to face the "big tent" to have any kind of voice?
Empty out the tarot deck, and put a gospel in there.
Now suddenly that crystal ball will be making infinitely more sense.
When the advantage schemes of man fail, there is but one more trump card (and no I don’t mean Donald Trump, though he is trying valiantly).
This is God and the gospel. It always has been since the appearance of the church, of the set of dedicated believers upon Jesus Christ. The gates of hell haven’t gotten it to go away yet; its outward form changes and its most inward form stays the same.
The big tent should be the revival tent. To treat it the way it is now, as the anything goes tent, is a silly suicide.
Democrats all that is not traditionally American. As is their way, they take something loved and established, steal the word, utterly invert its meaning, then claim it as their own. That is the ultimate in hating something, not loving it.
Trumpiteer’s love America more!
They have tried to transform it based upon invalid premises.
We would be foolish to say America has no room for improvement. It did even in yesteryear. But what that room is filled with, makes a whale of a lot of difference.
I know I may be getting old to some people. I hope I get so old that people start thinking of the Ancient of Days. But that would be the point. We’ve always known what the route of improvement was, but some have become foolish and rebelled against that. And if those who supposedly have the secret get lazy and weak, what is going to renew the hope of the world?
OK thanks for the clarification.
I’d tend to agree, as long as they don’t turn Trump himself into an idol, which is always a danger, but Trump seems to be deflecting ultimate attention not even to himself but to the good ideas he wants to prevail. I think he has a sense of something out there but can’t quite articulate it very well. When he gets focused, I believe he is going to see that this something is, in fact, God.
EJ is right. He made one typo though. The correct spelling should be Amerika.
Democrats LOVE all that is not traditionally American.
Yeah... they love (or at least desire) the Weirded Out, Untied States of Amerika
