    Yes that’s why I want as many people as possible to live here and enjoy the same freedoms I do. 🇺🇸 

     

    Yeah, that was kind of my point.

    Also notably, both require you to admit that the American essentially exists outside of unintelligible allegiance to some sort of democratic ideology or as a widget in an economic zone. Another impossible challenge for you, to be sure.

    My rights are a gift from God. Given freely by Him, unmerited and unearned. This is the basis of our country.

     

    No earthly circumstances can change that.

     

    Somewhere along the line, some form of Secularism wormed its way into your brain, and made you feel good about something that is a lie.

     

     


    Your ethnicity is a gift from God. Given freely by Him via providence through your parentage. Also unmerited, unearned. No earthly accident (such as where you happened to be born) can change that. 
     

    If you are indeed a Christian, you might do well to see whether “Enlightenment” thinking has wormed its way into your faith. Such as the idea that your blood brothers are of lesser import than the foreigner. 
     

    Myself, I have little skin in the religious game. Though I freely acknowledge that the founding of America was particularly Christian, and Protestant.

    Ok so what’s an American then

     

    You can basically look at it two ways. First is that the foundational American stock (those who are genealogically American and those who have married and assimilated with genealogical Americans) is made up of the descendants of the English who founded the Virginia and Massachusetts Bay colonies, and the descendants of the slaves brought into the aforementioned Virginia colony. This is admittedly the more restrictive of the two. The second is the folkways model as outlined in Albion's Seed (those who, by stock or by assimilation, are part of the four cultures that migrated from the island of Great Britain).

     

    Notably, neither *require* citizenship, as citizenship is an accident, rather than part of the essence, of a person. Also notably, both require you to admit that the American essentially exists outside of unintelligible allegiance to some sort of democratic ideology or as a widget in an economic zone. Another impossible challenge for you, to be sure.

    “Give me your tired, your poor, 
    Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, 
    The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. 
    Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed, to me: 
    I lift my lamp beside the golden door.”

    Ah, yes, famous section of immigration policy, there. 

     

    Ellis Island and its consequences have been a disaster for America and, consequently, the human race.

     

    Emma Lazarus (interesting surname btw) was never elected to anything.

    I just heard on the radio... "cost cutting" measures. They also axed Samantha Ponder.

     

    Cost cutting. But they're paying out their contracts. 

     

    Unless he had a stipulation in his contract that he only flies private or something I don't see how this saves much.

    So is it just memes and shares here?

    Theres very little policy talk, and even less talk about actions that can be taken in our local communities.

     

    Is this just a pissing match? I’d love to see more people share about local elections and WNY orgs that could use assistance. 

     

     

    While a significant portion of the userbase here has ties to WNY, the list of posters that I'm pretty sure are still local to the 716 or 585 is pretty short. I'm not gonna poast about the local school board elections because they're statistically relevant to only me. NYS politics might get a little more play but at the end of the day the only politics most any of us have in common are national politics.

    He’s going to get over drafted this year considering he IS Justin Jefferson. I don’t plan on being the one to do it.

    Truck A, going 66mph, thinking he needs to pass truck B, going 65mph. Truck A then proceeds to clog the left lane of a two lane highway for 10 minutes trying to pass truck B. 

     

    It's not well-publicized but the absolute mess created by the post-pandemic push to license more CDL drivers is wild. Not sure if the pattern started pre-pandemic or not but the last few years I'm pretty sure I've seen more fatals involving large trucks than I did before.

    Desperate for changing
    Starving for truth
    I'm closer to where I started
    I'm chasing after you

     

    I'm falling even more in love with you
    Letting go of all I've held on to
    I'm standing here until you make me move
    I'm hanging by a moment here with you

    How is this affecting you again?

     

    Sorry, that stopped working once they started charging kids with felonies for doing burnouts on the sacred flag of GAE that was painted on the ground for gay month (brought to you by the corporate sponsorship of nearly every large company at the end of a gun).
