Are those really un-American values though? If they are we have a strange number of influential Americans that express support for the things that you listed.

1. Women are less than men and aren't allowed the same rights as men:

Rep. Duncan Hunter: Integrating women into combat specialties is not a joke, it's serious | Fox News

"Let me be clear: I don’t support women in the infantry or special operations, nor do I support women registering for the draft."

GOP congressman: Wives should “voluntarily submit” to their husbands - Salon.com

https://www.theguardian.com/commenti...speaks-volumes

2. Certain people are a lower caste of human by virtue of birth:

Undocumented children a drain on U.S. schools | The Heritage Foundation

https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine...ociety/305936/

Racial and caste oppression have many similarities

3. Practice the State sanctioned religion enforced by law:

Sarah Palin: American Law Should Be 'Based On The God Of The Bible And The Ten Commandments' | HuffPost

Dominionism: Michele Bachmann and Rick Perry

Forced to assimilate? How do you plan to make that happen?

Would it have anything to do with this?

I think 69Charger needs to assimilate into the 21st century.

I wonder though, since he is advocating that we return to an agrarian society, does he also wish that for the military? Or does that just apply to us city slickers?
