I could easily argue that Amish culture is incompatible with America. They are completely different than the mainstream Americans in this country. So different that they live together in what amounts to communes and discourage communication with outsiders.

My idea is this: You can live and practice your belief system all the live long day as long as you aren't hurting others or trying to get others to live by your faith. IMHO, Christians and Muslims are guilty of the latter. Just do your thing, realize others don't subscribe to your beliefs and we can all live in peace. Why is this such a difficult concept?

I usually say that, domestic policy doesn't control foreign policy; Foreign policy controls everything. Because everything the government does must be within the framework of geopolitics, and international power dynamics.


Basically, the Marshall plan wasn't about America trying to be nice. It was to prevent Europe from falling to the Soviets. To hold Europe in the American sphere of influence.

While I hate the CFR, they are right, though I wish they weren't...


"To put it in a terminology that harkens back to the more brutal age of ancient empires, the three grand imperatives of imperial geostrategy are to prevent collusion and maintain security dependence among the vassals, to keep tributaries pliant and protected, and to keep the barbarians from coming together." - Zbigniew Brzezinski, CFR

Why is the United States a nation of immigrants? Why did we ever let a single immigrant come here? And did we let just anyone come here? Do you know about the quota act?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immigration_Act_of_1924

Between 1921 and 1965, if you weren't Western European, you pretty much weren't allowed to come here.

Ain't going to happen, the people in charge want globalism, they want to destroy national borders. To truly turn back the tide would require a revolution.

It's no wonder their society and Muslims don't seem compatible. After murdering hundreds of thousands of people of a certain society they tend to reject your way of life and beliefs.
And then come there to live.

How rude of you to bring history and some background knowledge into this discussion. We don't do that here -- we base our opinions on emotions and stuff we have learned in the last six months

The French spent decades attempting to make Algeria and other colonies French, forcing them to change their language and adopt French values.

They reap what they sow.

Yet, one of the creators of the Women March calls for America to be under Sharia Law and look how many are blindly following her, scarf and all. The Amish are not calling for America to change and as far as I know they never have......now if you want to talk about puppy mills!


If Franklin Graham stood up and called for America to be under Christian Law people would go insane. Not even realizing the difference between the OT and NT......


One has to think if you call yourself a moderate Christian are you going to be moderate when the time comes to be radical for your faith or will you be lukewarm. Jesus never told Christians to be idle or be moderate.
