The ancient world earth worship, etc was associated to the god baal. Along with fertility.

So you don't have a definition. That's what I thought.

"If you see it, you will know it" means absolutely nothing. Everyone sees things differently.

O.K.

Takes allot of baals to set yourself on fire.

Just shows how radical they are.

And what they worship, false idols…

Add to that the major influx of immigrants over the last 10 - 20 years (or longer) and you begin to see the gradual decay of what an American is.

This is what I was speaking to.

You are conflating illegal and legal immigration…

There was a time when being an immigrant to the USA had meaning and the immigrants had pride in their new home. It’s not like that today. As more and more emphasis is made on one world order, less is understood about what it means to be an American; and it appears our current leaders do not care.

Our leaders don't know what it means to be American and they don't care to learn.

And that they lack the dedication of Buddhists...

Being part Cherokee Indian I remember hearing the saying: What do you have when you put 64 Cherokees in a room? One Indian.

I'm so motivated by his brave sacrifice that I swear to never own a British private jet

This reminds me of a stunt I used to pull at restaurants that had candles on the table (a long time ago, when they allowed smoking in restaurants). I would carry in a small can of Zippo lighter fluid, wait until a waiter was coming to my table, squirt a little on my fingertip (under the table), then light my finger with the candle and light my cigarette with my finger. Freaked out quite a few waiters/waitresses with that little trick.

Unless your ancestors had names like "Running Bear," I'm betting there are more than a few immigrants in your woodpile.

I'd love to hear your take on what a "real" American is.

You can be a immigrant and be 100% American. My mom was a immigrant from Northern Ireland. 100% loved this country. I think the point is the new wave of immigrant comes here illegally. Don't care to learn the language of there new home. Do not care to assimilate. Bring the crap of there homeland with them.

That’s the problem with allowing illegal immigration. The illegal immigrant community never see’s itself as American. Legal immigration brings the best of the world to the US to allow us and them to prosper and realize the American dream. Just opening the borders and allowing illegal immigration is not in our best interests.

We need immigrants, but we need them to get here legally.

Albeit long for some, this is a great video from the Hoover Institute that breaks down the issues of demographics, legal and illegal immigration, and American Idealism. I felt it was definitely worth the watch and brought up some very interesting points.



We are definitely at a crossroads, and I see real stock in the Strauss-Howe Generational Theory. When that is combined with technology, it makes for a much faster and jarring sea change in the cultural and social dynamic.
