No friend, the south destroyed itself by not walking in the path of righteousness by applying Scripture to the addition of the negro to our shores as a blessing, and not to be exploited. I’m a southern gentleman, not a yankee.
I'm an America-fanboy. I think the people that put any foreign nation before the US should be honest with themselves and emigrate.
"[N]othing is more essential than that permanent, inveterate antipathies against particular nations, and passionate attachments for others, should be excluded; and that, in place of them, just and amicable feelings towards all should be cultivated. The nation which indulges towards another a habitual hatred or a habitual fondness is in some degree a slave. It is a slave to its animosity or to its affection, either of which is sufficient to lead it astray from its duty and its interest. Antipathy in one nation against another disposes each more readily to offer insult and injury, to lay hold of slight causes of umbrage, and to be haughty and intractable, when accidental or trifling occasions of dispute occur. Hence, frequent collisions, obstinate, envenomed, and bloody contests. The nation, prompted by ill-will and resentment, sometimes impels to war the government, contrary to the best calculations of policy. The government sometimes participates in the national propensity, and adopts through passion what reason would reject; at other times it makes the animosity of the nation subservient to projects of hostility instigated by pride, ambition, and other sinister and pernicious motives. The peace often, sometimes perhaps the liberty, of nations, has been the victim.
So likewise, a passionate attachment of one nation for another produces a variety of evils. Sympathy for the favorite nation, facilitating the illusion of an imaginary common interest in cases where no real common interest exists, and infusing into one the enmities of the other, betrays the former into a participation in the quarrels and wars of the latter without adequate inducement or justification. It leads also to concessions to the favorite nation of privileges denied to others which is apt doubly to injure the nation making the concessions; by unnecessarily parting with what ought to have been retained, and by exciting jealousy, ill-will, and a disposition to retaliate, in the parties from whom equal privileges are withheld. And it gives to ambitious, corrupted, or deluded citizens (who devote themselves to the favorite nation), facility to betray or sacrifice the interests of their own country, without odium, sometimes even with popularity; gilding, with the appearances of a virtuous sense of obligation, a commendable deference for public opinion, or a laudable zeal for public good, the base or foolish compliances of ambition, corruption, or infatuation.
As avenues to foreign influence in innumerable ways, such attachments are particularly alarming to the truly enlightened and independent patriot. How many opportunities do they afford to tamper with domestic factions, to practice the arts of seduction, to mislead public opinion, to influence or awe the public councils. Such an attachment of a small or weak towards a great and powerful nation dooms the former to be the satellite of the latter.
Against the insidious wiles of foreign influence (I conjure you to believe me, fellow-citizens) the jealousy of a free people ought to be constantly awake, since history and experience prove that foreign influence is one of the most baneful foes of republican government."
Quit be suckers to foreign powers and enjoy being an American. How many more decades of wars for foreign countries are we supposed to wage?
The mantra during the Hillary Clinton term as Secretary of State was.... “You sell out your country and I’ll sell out mine. We’ll all be rich.”
Fair enough.......
Harriet: "Who we going after today?"
Larry: "Nikki Haley"
Harriet: "Why?"
Larry: "Forget her current role as UN Ambassador, don't you remember that stupid flag issue when she was a governor?"
Harriet: "Oh, OK......Could you please relight my torch?"
It is largely due to our own ERRONEOUS foreign policy of recent years that Putin (militarily) and China (economically) have been able to step into the fold as they have. Attaining positions on the global stage they neither warrant nor deserve.
But according to Putin’s fanboys, Soviet-nostalgic Russia is allowed to be the most NeoCon/interventionist of all and have free rein of the Holy Land!
NOT
SO
FAST!
You are in error, Salvavida.
And you’re also off topic.
The Indian Bimbo was an incredibly irresponsible and naive Governor, plain and simple.
We can discuss sin another time.
But nice try at the strawman argument.

She warms my cockles...
The UN can kiss my bitter clingers.
PAligning with the US was not the only factor in the new aid guidelines and some of the more egregious offenders were spared. Iraq, one of the largest recipients of US largesse votes against it benefactor 60 percent of the time, yet the memo emphasized US aid would continue. Similarly, Egypt, which “often has a more antagonistic approach to the United States in the U.N. than Russia, China and Venezuela,” would likely be spared, according to the memo.
I don’t know if you’re aware of this, but the globalist elites want to usher in the NWO now = and I mean now.
The problem with getting that done is America.
The problem with America is Americans.
The hear and soul of the USA is the South and the Southern Heritage. Get rid of the South, and getting rid of the US is not far behind.
The propaganda about the Confederate Battle Flag and General Lee and all that was simply a ploy to destroy the South, and thereby America.
Notice that Robert E. Lee and the CBF was never really a problem until just recently? Ev;en under 0bama and with Jesse Jackson and Sharpton in full swing, these things were never much of an issue, if any.
Haley was instrumental in getting this accomplished.
Idolatry at its finest. (Exodus 20:4)
So, what’s your issue with the job she’s doing now?
Don't try to change the subject. And Ms Haley didn't make a decision in a vacuum.
Those FReepers perhaps do not like any one from India background.
She was Governor; top dog if you will. The buck stops with her. the fallout from her folly will be felt for some time, and we may never recover what has been lost.
Sorry, no excuses.
Please, take the time to do some research. Read. Try to associate with people who know American history well.
Be sure to tap into the wisdom of our Founding Fathers.
Enjoy your weekend.
Nikki Haley is The Babe. Fearless
“Hey vette6387, don’t you find it hard to breathe with your head up your ass all the time?”
Oh such invective from someone whose “home” quite likely has a place for wheels and has to walk outdoors to go to the bathroom! Niki Haley is doing a stellar job at the United Idiots. I’d take it as a 100% improvement if Trump were to make her Attorney General, instead of that wizened up, Southern-fried pr!ck we have right now.
