He was half-right; there are two Americas, but they aren’t divided by income, they’re divided by a willingness to live in reality.

producers and parasites

Good morning, Phil.

Sorry, but I hate seeing that condescending term “nonsense” in an online post.

Sounds like a personal issue. [;^)

If there are anti-Americans in the midst of and pitted against others, that would, in fact, mean that there are two Americas.

Such reasoning improperly and unwisely elevates the status of an invasive agent. Such certainly applies where the agent is a philosophy that would remake the host.

Perhaps more simply stated: One cannot be an American and at the same time also be an anti-American.
(See tagline for a variation.)

Gotta' run, you can have the last word.

——One cannot be an American and at the same time also be an anti-American. -—

You miss the point.

That applies to virtually all the jocks in the NFL

One cannot be both a Globalist and a Patriot. The two are mutually exclusive.

The most important missed 2 Americas point is geographical.

One belief system (liberals) live predominately in Urban Areas

Rural America is where the Patriots live. (Even rural California)

Old English: Gecynde means Natural. UnGecynde meant Unnatural.

Middle English: Kindly meant Natural

Natural is a Kind. Naturalization is a Kind. UnNaturalization is UnKindred.

Why did the Middle English speaking Founders place Naturalization in the Constitution. The 1790 & 1795 Naturalization Acts tells us...

They wanted immigrants and citizens their natural kind.

Congress only citizenship and immigration power is Naturalization not UnNaturalization.

Two Americas:

1. Those who get a gov check (welfare AND workers)

2. Those who don’t.

The latter is being swallowed by the former.

Agree completely! Likewise, there are Americans and then there are the other guys, only a small portion of which weren’t born here.

Thats what I see too. At best they’re libertarian and that’s just another version of liberal.

Either they have a mental disorder or their brains are wired different. Maybe that’s a redundancy. By the way, I just thought of something. Frogs can’t jump out of the pot, can they?

You are a damn fool who confuses one dealing on a global basis with those seeking a global government.

By extrapolating the former to those that are the latter you make an extreme erroneous error in fact.

There are more people in China and Asia that operate on a global basis than all of those everywhere desiring a global government.

Wrapping your self in the flag only exacerbates your misunderstanding. To limiting your horizon to your county line is silly

Like I said you can be a Free Traitor™ or a patriot but you can’t be both.

I know exactly of what I speak. I don't have problem with trade with any individual country as long as a duty is charged that is equal to or exceeds the duty our exports face when imported into that same country. If you don't think so then you are traitor.

We have free trade inside the USA and that should be good enough for any American.
