Thread: Members of Previous Generations Now Seem Like Giants

  1. #31
    Well, they were giants.

    But luckily we stumbled upon one of a kind previous generation leader in 2016 who by his own account is most giant (he used the term 'most Presidential') leader in US history since Lincoln. And his supporters seem to agree.





    So all is not lost. Who knows down the road we may see another future giant like Donald Jr as a national leader.

I assume you consider the many Irish, Jewish and others that emigrated to NYC to be immigrants and not merely a distinction based on skin color.

    I would like some objective sources that show recent immigrants lack the American ethic. All central American immigrants I know work hard.

    That's a terribly misleading headline since the total amount of the 35% dwarfs the total amount of the 63%. And it's not even close. "Non-citizens" can't generally access welfare services, though their "citizen" children can, which is where the vast majority of that 63% figure comes from. In other words, if you aren't a sworn employee of the federal and state corporations (Citizen) we call "governments", you can't receive the benefits of the corporations, either.

    They cheat and the rates (it's the rates not the absolute numbers that matter) are actually worse than that because many of them use stolen native identities to collect.

    Had America not entered that war his beloved mother Russia would be shouting "Sieg Heil!" It was America's air power that won that war. No other European nation could match the Natzee's air superiority. It took the participation and determination of our entire nation to do so. But, when needed, America came through.

    The non-Anglo Europeans that built Grand Central, the New York skyline, the railroads, and everything else that was great, absolutely were semi-literate, sub-IQ, wretched, and refuse. What they weren't, is particularly dark-skinned.

    The difference between the shoeless Italian people that emigrated here 120 years ago, and the ones who are coming over here today?
    Yesterday's Italians were presumed to be incapable of anything more complicated than mixing mortar,
    and today's Ghanans and Pakis are your nurses and computer programmers and small business owners.
    Which is why the most libertarian president ever, enacted the most stringent immigration controls ever, in 1924.

    Because he (Coolidge) understood, and the people of the time understood, that to continue to allow in anybody, from anywhere, anytime they feel like it, and you would lose the Republic.
    Another mark of a tyrant is that he likes foreigners better than citizens, and lives with them and invites them to his table; for the one are enemies, but the Others enter into no rivalry with him. - Aristotle's Politics Book 5 Part 11

    Helped, sure. But if you listen to *certain* folks tell the narrative you'd think Murikans went it virtually alone.

    The Poem:
    Nobody grows old by merely living a number of years.
    People grow old only by deserting their ideals.
    Years wrinkle the skin but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles
    the soul.

    Worry, doubt, self-distrust, fear and despair . . .
    these are the quick equivalents of the long years
    that bow the head and turn
    the growing spirit back to dust.

    Whether 70 or 16, there is, in every being’s heart the love of
    wonder, the sweet amazement of the stars, and the star-like
    things and thoughts, the undaunted challenge of events,
    the unfailing childlike appetite for “What Next?”

    You are as young as your faith, as old as your doubt,
    as young as your self-confidence, as old as your fear,
    as young as your hope, as old as your despair.

    So long as your heart receives messages of
    beauty, cheer, courage, grandeur and power from
    the earth, from man and from the Infinite, so long are you young.

    When all the wires are down, and all the
    central places of your heart are covered with
    the snows of pessimism and the ice of cynicism,
    then, and only then, are you grown old indeed,
    and may God have mercy on your soul.
    ..

    If the US hadn't entered WWI, there would have been no WWII.

    WWI was basically a border war- we had no business being part of that except for helping the MIC. Germany was then blamed for the whole war & made to pay for everything- basically sending them into extreme poverty. Without our "intervention" there would have been no Hitler, no WWII, and all the aftermath that came from it.

    Think about that.

    You'd think Muricans would at least stop pretending to be the Stars Of The Show(TM), tho. The Soviets did the OVERWHELMING majority of dying in the European theatre. Americans are mostly alone in the world in thinking *they* won the war in Europe. The rest of the world rightly *primarily* credits the Soviets. #AmericanExceptionalismDelusion

    We won the war in Europe while winning the war in the Pacific that the Soviet slackers refused to help with.

    I have been working here on this dilapidated house. My sister accompanied me. I have shown her that everything requires pride. You can dig a good hole or a useless one. You can stack wood effectively or throw it in a pile. You can put something where it can be stored for an extended period of time or move it a few feet and have to move it countless times because it is always in the way. People would call my way OCD tendency.
