If that’s true then we need to start promoting those traditions. Again, the progressives are far ahead of us it seems in this optics war.

And no, I do not see a difference between the headline or the real quote.

Don’t misinterpret what I am saying, but personally I love many of my Anglo-Saxon traditions, period. All the woke-ism is an effort to destroy anything the white race has done. We have a right to our traditions, teachings, and contributions. It is not just political viewpoints under attack, it is our way of life.

No one understands what the reference to Anglo Saxon traditions and values means. However, anyone who has read the excellent book, The 5000 Year Leap, will instantly realize what they mean by this. Our nation WAS founded on concepts that were borrowed from the Anglo Saxons, as well as from the Greeks (Cicero), and others. The Anglo Saxon reference is mostly related to their development of decentralized government, with the greatest governmental authority residing as close to the local (and even neighborhood) level as possible.

The members of this new group should explain this, and then ask the rabid media which of these principles they or any other Americans disagree with. It’s all common sense, but of course the leftists are blinded to reason by their seething race hate. All that matters to them is “Whitey bad.”

Agreed on the importance of culture, but that is a little more specific than generally Anglo-Saxon. Anglo-Saxon in general includes race. “Anglo-Saxon political traditions” are derived from cultural social customs and must include those customs.

Have a look at this, but notice that it is written in European terms. “Liberal” has more to do with more individual freedoms in that sense—not American leftism.

If so, you need better glasses. THE relevant "uniquely Anglo-Saxon tradition" being referenced is REPRESENTATIVE GOVERNMENT. IIRC, the first true parliament was established in Iceland in 930AD.

Big difference for most people. The headline implies racial or ethnic composition. The quote refers to cultural and political traditions. But most people won't be aware of the actual quote.

I can see where McCarthy's coming from. The more caucuses there are the more opportunity for them to go wild and pull the party apart. I'm not saying his way is the right way, but there's potential for Matt Gaetz to pull just about anything down with him when he goes down.
