Lately I have been hearing about American ideals.
THERE ARE NO AMERICAN IDEALS
that is a myth...the myth of monolithic ideals!
The context I have been hearing is regarding the issue of immigration.
They seem to be saying that opposition to immigration is a betrayal of American Ideals.
That is a BIG LIE
there is no American Ideal that says we must welcome immigrants!
the US Constitution says congress shall have power... "To establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization"
that's it! A rule! The rule could be anything! Nobody allowed in! Only people under the age of 30! Only WHITE people! The rule can be anything! There is no ideal expressed there.
People try to read ideals into old documents.
There are NO AMERICAN IDEALS
only ideals that Americans have...individual Americans! Not a collective or a hive of Americans.
My ideals may be different from yours.
That does not mean I am VIOLATING AMERICAN IDEALS
take away my right to have my own opinion if you dare...insult my opinion all you want...I believe we each have a right to our own opinion! That is not betrayal.
