It would be terrific if that were possible. For some reason there seems to be persons on this forum who cannot discuss a topic without making it into personal attack. I know that I myself am guilty of biting back, but I find it difficult to just sit back and allow someone to disparage me personally, without some sort of counteraction.
If you disagree with someone, so be it. Great! One of the ideals that this country is built upon is the premise that everyone is entitled to their own opinion. However, it doesn't give someone the right to insult and denigrate those whose viewpoint differs from theirs. From that point on, rational discussion becomes moot. It just evolves into one big mud-slinging match.
So your saying that America deserves to have our country ruined? Greatbasinguide, that is "sick", really, that is.
I find the inability of some people to understand simple English quite bizarre. It is apparent that Greatbasinguide said, simply and clearly, if one cannot hold the country one deserves to lose it, not the first without the last.
Apparently his Roman analogy was too complex. Let us make it a simpler one.
The Slobbovians have a country. The Barbarians begin infiltrating through their borders. Instead of uniting, forming an armed force and tossing the barbarians out, they sit around their sports bars and complain, but do not act.
What I said, I will say it in a different way, if Americans cannot protect America it is a declining culture.
Conversely, if America can protect America then it is probably not a declining culture.
Remember when the Barbarians, those nasty Arian Christian Vandals and Goths and Franks came across the Rhine? They only did it because Rome could not stop them, being in decline. They did not come across while Rome was strong.
I happen to think that America is in decline because of the expense of maintaining what is essentially an Empire. Like the Romans, Like the Brits, the cost of maintaining hegemony eventually becomes to steep.
America can reverse this given the will, but if America and Americans do not have the will to secure their own borders, I put little faith in the future of this once great republic
Oh, and by the way, this sentence makes a strong case that NEA (National Education Association?) is not very well educated and could actually be considered similar to the Nazi division of Europeans into Aryans, Alpines, and Mediterranians, mediterranians being a small step above the Untermensch:
In a few comments above, including others on KKK, anthropology, hang-up on term 'white'; these posts do not sound scientific and this is scary.
Love the way gbg takes one sentence from a post and attempts to make the poster look like a bigot.
I would venture that this is because you cannot refute or argue with the rest of the post and as you have some sort of vendetta against me because I dared to publically disagree with something you had stated as fact, you have to try to discredit me in some fashion.
I believe that most of the folks reading this forum are intelligent enough to look at the entire post.
Because Mexican is a political rather than a racial designation, it is no more possible for it as such, to have a color than it is to pin one certain color on the American. I have to say gbg, you certainly seem to be hung up on racial identity.

Do they deserve their country?
And I propose that greatbasinguide and you are one in the same
If he did I'm surprised he has gotten away with a lot for a long time.
But like someone said, if he really wants to Im sure he will find a way "back in". If he hasn't done so already. . . Someone on here sure has been complimenting him alot!!!
Well at least he seems to have a BIG fan in guide. I suppose he/she (don't want to be gender specific--way too politically incorrect) should have at least one person who will fall in line with his/her ideology.
