You’re wrong. You said yourself that you think immigration is a good thing because it breaks down social bonds and prevents labor from organizing. I don’t necessarily think labor organizing is a good thing, especially if it’s Marxist in nature, but breaking down social bonds is really your true intention.

The capitalists have no clothes on. You’re obviously a liar. You, the Cato Institute, outright frauds like Vikek, we can all see you for what you are and your time is coming. It’s so obvious that you’re dishonest and nihilistic frauds who’ve run out of ideas. Bean counting nerds whose only dog and pony show is wage arbitrage.

America is great because it’s got high human capital (white people). There are other lucky accidents of history but they mostly exist because of the high human capital.

As it gets less white it has lower human capital. This will make it a worse country as most of the rest of the world is worse, and their worse genetics are the primary cause.

“Heritage Americans” is obviously a way of saying “white” without saying white. It reminds me of Steve sailers “citizenism”, which is a similar concept but tries to grandfather in blacks and second generation Hispanics but mostly out of a political calculus to win elections with the main goal to just stop the white % from falling even further by cutting off new immigrants.

There is an overwhelming demand to find a way to stop non-white immigration without saying race is the reason. We are always coming up with new terms, and race puritans are always coming up with new ways of deterring them.

It’s not so different than “good schools” serving as the polite way to say “white schools.”

"The United States is obviously a great," while i agree i think this was a typo

America’s early greatness came from the shared belief in its founding principles, most clearly expressed in the Declaration of Independence. Unlike other nations, which often traced authority and rights granted by kings or governments, America declared that rights come from nature—or, as the Declaration puts it, from “the Creator.” This idea—that liberty is inherent, not granted—united citizens around a common purpose and gave them a reason to build a society based on freedom, responsibility, and self-government. It was these principles, more than land or resources, that made America exceptional.

Unfortunately, today many founding principles have eroded. The belief that unalienable rights come from one's own Creator has been replaced by reliance on government rules and controls, including heavy taxes and property infringements while individual freedom is often subordinated to bureaucracy. The spirit of self-reliance and personal responsibility is overshadowed by dependence on centralized authority, leaving the ideals of liberty and limited government nearly forgotten.

The problem with saying America is a creedal nation is that lots of foreigners believe in the creed.

The solution is to combine the creedall identity with the concept of a social contract. A. foreigner may believe that governments should be established for the protection of rights with the consent of governed in a social contract, and admire America for embodying that ideal, without believing that he is a party to the social contract that constitutes America.

Being an American comes from accepting America's creedal basis, as articulated in the Declaration of Independence, *and also* regarding oneself as part of its social contract, with an intent to uphold the Constitution.

Heritage is the only thing that makes someone an American.

BTW, I think that if you serve in military, you get an extra point in the "American Heritage" classifier. NOT IVY LEAGUE WASPY CRAP TYPE OF SERVICE, actually in the jungle type of service.

WTF is a, "Heritage American?" I'm half white and half-Filipino. My white half has been here since the 1660's( I did the ancestry family tree). But my Filipino half...was my mom(who did become a US citizen). These is just racist crap that Ann Coulter likes to throw out there. 😤

As a history major at the University of New Orleans, I took a course on the history of the city (taught by a visiting professor from Universitat Munchen).

What stood out was recognizing the culture of the city I lived in in accounts of very early visitors to a then small settlement. The propensity to party was particularly noted. I'd have felt at home there, and those long dead New Orleanians would feel at home in the city of today.

Culture is powerful, it's what counts, not ethnicity
