What do these have to do with nationalism?
We also oppose the United Nations or any other world government body that may attempt to impose its will or rule over our sovereign nation and sovereign people. That is nationalism, and as you can see there is nothing bigoted about it.
Not all nationalism is bigotry, but it often provides a warm hiding place to such. A nationalist is for sovereignty of his or her own country. In that sense, I completely agree with Jim's statement.
Now, when someone starts insisting on purety of blood and/or religion in the state --- that's what I was refferting to and that is altogether different story.
We believe in defending our borders, our constitution and our national sovereignty.
Exactly right. And we are not doing enough of that.
There are those in Russia and/or Ukraine who may want those things, but what does that have to do with the Soros story? I see their antipathy to his meddling as something positive. Do you foresee a role in US elections for any Hungarian Jews currently resident in Russia? Any that you'd care to invite over here and instruct us on how to conduct our elections? Any Russian Soros with globalist/socialist views who might enrich our American system of government? No? You wouldn't be a bigoted nationalist, would you?
Russians have always been a strongly nationalistic people. A trait that has been reinforced by the periodic invasion of their country, the latest only 60 years ago. America has never had to endure such catastrophe, mercifully, and if it had, I think our nationalistic leanings would be rather more pronounced. Pearl Harbor and 9/11 are the closest we've come but they pale in comparison to the siege of Stalingrad and Leningrad.
Cut the Russians some slack.
