[President George Bush, addressing the General Assembly of the United Nations, Feb. 1, 1992:
"It is the sacred principles enshrined in the United Nations charter to which the American people will henceforth pledge their allegiance."

President Trump on Monday declared himself a "nationalist" as he railed against Democrats and "globalists" who put the wellbeing of the world over the country.
At a raucous campaign rally in Houston, Trump warned supporters that Democrats will seek to restore influence to "corrupt, power-hungry globalists."
"You know what a globalist is? A globalist is a person that wants the globe to do well, frankly, not caring about our country so much," Trump said. "And you know what, we can’t have that."
The crowd began booing as Trump moved on to his preferred descriptor.
"You know, they have a word. It sort of became old-fashioned. It’s called a nationalist," he continued. "And I say really, we’re not supposed to use that word. You know what I am? I am a nationalist. Use that word."
The crowd broke out into chants of "USA" in response.
Monday's rally marked a rare instance where Trump explicitly described himself as a "nationalist," a label that has drawn criticism and concern from some U.S. and foreign lawmakers.
Former Vice President Joe Biden has frequently alluded to the rise of "phony nationalism" in his many critiques of Trump since the president took office.
The late Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) made similar remarks in a 2017 speech at the National Constitution Center, where he lamented that the U.S. was relinquishing its leadership role abroad in favor of "some half-baked, spurious nationalism."
The president has long-touted his desire to put "America first," railed against global alliances like NATO and the United Nations and recently threatened to cut aid to Central American countries that he lamented "did nothing for us."
Trump's rhetoric has led to anxiety among world leaders that the U.S. will recede from its role on the global stage.
lies by omission are lies
Stalinists lie. Always
I’m proudly an American and I believe in America because THERE SIMPLY IS NO OTHER NATION LIKE IT.
Meanwhile Socialists feel this way...
Marxist Maxine Waters wants to seize control of American industries:
“this liberal will be all about Socializing... um um.. will be about ...um ...basically ...taking over and the government running all of your companies.”

Commie media is “Red Baiting”
Red-baiting, also reductio ad Stalinum, is an informal logical fallacy that intends to discredit the validity of an opponent’s logical argument by accusing, denouncing, attacking, or persecuting an individual or group as communist, socialist, Marxist, Stalinist or anarchist, or sympathetic towards these ideologies. - Wikipedia
“I am a nationalist.”
I am too! So was George Washington. Trump is in good company.
~~
Dittos!
the Left tells us how awesome Socialist Norway is.
Except Norway doesn’t have open borders. You have to show that you earn at least $47,000 a year to immigrate there.
Oh no....not the “N” word. lol
Nationalist! Right on baby...right on!
President Trump is an American nationalist.
Let’s not get crazy. The DNC Media will be going nuts enough tomorrow.
I agree that PDJT is a nationalist.
And that is a good thing, and about time, too.
Me? I’m a NATIVIST. (Look it up before commenting, please.)
A nation can't lead the rest of the world, if it's being destroyed from within.
America first. Save our nation. Then lead abroad.
Pretty simple, John McCain.
Trump gives us another one of our politically incorrect words back.
I'm an "nationalist" too.
I'm an American nationalist.
Patriot.
"Christmas" came first!
(And, to take the long view, Christmas did come first, before anything. . .)
Maxine waters is too stupid to do anything execpt get rich like all the other black crooks.
“And Trump is white so he’s a white nationalist.”
It’s a made up media term to confuse the populace about nationalism and link it to white supremacy. They’re trying to make it sound like Constitutional patriots are racist.
The opposition is mostly a bunch of rich, white globalists. And they’re socialists. And aspiring tyrants.
Whoever made that pic forgot to put the knives and forks in their hands.
And as to the original topic ... President Trump needs to often and loudly remind people of the TRILLIONS that we have, or that is, or globalist politicians have wasted on their pet projects, to ‘enrich’ the world at our expense.
Remind the millenials that the TRILLIONS that could have paid for their college educations; remind the seniors that the T’s that could have paid for their social security and medicare have all been squandered on people that hate us.
By the GLOBALISTS.
Here’s another word I use to describe myself; REACTIONARY. This word was used by the Bolsheviks a hundred years ago to describe anyone (White Russians, Czarists, Loyalists, Intelligencia, etc) who opposed them. And so it is today, the ultra left has taken over the Democratic Party and shouted down all opposition to them. Well, I consider myself a proud REACTIONARY that harkens back to a time when being a nationalist was the norm.
Yeah baby. Either you are a nationalist or a globalist There are no other choices.
Well, I already know that he is Batman.
He is probably Spartacus too.
To me, he is the BEST POTUS EVER! Great Rally today.
Today I decided to watch the 60 Minutes Interview POTUS Trump did a week ago that I had DVR’d.
That Bitch Leslie Stahl is a piece of work, but he took care of her BS. Really enjoyed the beat down.
A good day all around.
