Turkey was once a Christian nation, until invaded by the Muslims in that period of history.

Why is it that you Liberals hate America so much? America has done more than any nation in the history of man for the improvement of the human condition, releasing men from the oppression of dictators and evil rulers of all stripes. There have been no new political ideas since our founding. Jonah Goldberg, calls it an "unfolding revolution," and correctly states the following:
"The only truly new political idea in the last couple thousand years is this libertarian idea, broadly understood. The revolution wrought by John Locke, Edmund Burke, Adam Smith, and the Founding Fathers is the only real revolution going. And it's still unfolding."
Democrats (liberals) with their "identity politics" would have us return to tribalism, or a caste system. So-called "progressives" are taking us backward, not forward, and seek a Utopian society that is governed by a socialist/Marxist all powerful government, run by "intellectual" elites who think they know what is best for us. Individualism is not to be tollerated. Collectivism is the goal.

The founding of America is the best thing to have happened for mankind in the history of man.

There are no 100% "native Americans." Even the "American Indians" are thought to have arrived on this continent from elsewhere (National Geographic many years past has written much on this).

Done ranting about libruls and politics in this thread yet?

Before Europeans occupied North America, there was no government, and American Indians wanted to keep it that way till Europeans with firearms began running American Indians out of their homelands, put them on reservations and taught them the white man's way. American Indians were slaughtered by European occupiers.

Native American Genocide Still Haunts U.S.

Quote:
The Removal Act of 1830 set into motion a series of events which led to the "Trail of Tears" in 1838, a forced march of the Cherokees, resulting in the destruction of most of the Cherokee population." The concentration of American Indians in small geographic areas, and the scattering of them from their homelands, caused increased death, primarily because of associated military actions, disease, starvation, extremely harsh conditions during the moves, and the resulting destruction of ways of life.

Why did Europeans need to immigrate here, they could have just waited and walked a little ways.



When this happens, you'all can just go back home.

I'm staying where I am, thanks. I like it here.

There is a thread in the World or Europe folder discussing what would happen if US people returned to Europe.
Perhaps I'll just wait until we collide.

One less thread to post in.

The planet will be here. Humans? Most likely not... and if they are, we won't look anything like we do today!
