You are so wrong. We have taken aspects of other cultures creating something new. The Jewish members of my family would disagree with you that our culture is Christian as would other religions. What makes us so appealing to others is our neutrality when it comes to religion which is under attack by the Christian right that wants us to declare we are a Christian nation.
I’m not complaining, b!tching, moaning, about the protests, it’s their right. I don’t agree with them but they can yell all they want. I’m not getting my panties in a wad and I suggest you reread the posts above, you seems to have gone a bit off track. As to what is decent or not that is subject to interpretation. There wasn’t this much consternation from the right, especially from the same politicians who are now getting their panties in a wad after the Charlottesville VA Unite The Right rally when they were chanting “no jobs for Jews, Blut und Bode, blood and soil”. Maybe that’s because “there were good people on both sides”.
Nobody said you can’t have an opinion but don’t tell me I have don’t know the reason for the military’s existence. It’s easy for a person to criticize especially when they have little to no experience on the subject they are criticizing. Men were put into dangerous positions and died obeying the orders of those who they weren’t allowed to vote for. Your lottery number may have been high enough that you weren’t called but that didn’t preclude you from volunteering to serve after you graduated. You on the other hand had the ability to stay in school and avoid the draft using the exemption that staying in school gave you. Are you forgetting that you were not exempt from the draft and military service unless you were still in school with or without the lottery system. I wonder how you would have felt if you couldn’t stay in school and was drafted, sent overseas and force to obey the orders of someone you were not allowed to vote for.
The predominant culture of the US is a mix of all the cultures of all those who have immigrated to America and made her their home. We were born a nation of immigrants and mixing all these cultures is what has made America the greatest country in the world.
These protests are nothing different than what went on in the 60’s and other protests for various causes since then with getting panties in a wad while deciding to have a little snit. In other words it’s the SOS with politicians and supporters on the right acting the same way 60 years later as the protesters are. As to free speech interfering with other people’s lives many courts including the SC have ruled tat civil disobedience is a form of free speech. Have you forgotten that at one time burning the American flag was a crime and now it’s a form of free speech? Everyone was so up in arms about that ruling and what was the end result, nothing happened. We may not like it but all this outrage means nothing and it’s just more sound bites for politicians and a reason for the right to go get their panties in a wad and have a snit.
This is the same BS I heard during the 60’s Vietnam war protests that was going on across America. The war has changed but the protests remain the same. You guys need to come up with some new material. it’s old and worn as you guys are.
You changed your name again. Have you considered upping your dose of Ritalin, your ADHD seems to be out of control?
