Hmmm...I certain dont miss that Pro-Dubya bunch. Still hard to believe that those threads were heavily guarded by the mods - a total waste of bandwidth IMO.
We can survive losing Iraq and Afghanistan. I fear that the Goths have crossed our Danube and that Hadrianople awaits. Actually, there will be no conflict. We will collapse too.
well, that is supposed to have been a US citizen
But then, through the turmoils of the late 1400s and 1500s, England had become a land of immigration. We often think of our America as being that place to which persecuted people fled, but it was England first ~ which was, at the time, a fairly decent place to live compared to most other places.
yes, french, germans, spaniards etc. But I disagree with your last point -- England was climatically and culturally lower than mainland europe, especially the lowlands of Belgium-Holland-Luxembourg and Italy etc., but it was safer from strife as you point out.
The proper term is RECONQUISTA.
White Americans can no longer resist.
It’s like an atomic reaction, babies flying everywhere every 15 years. No wonder we have lost the battle before it even begins.
Regarding Cornwall, the 1400/1500 period in Brittany reveals agitation to avoid absorption by France, and even to join Spain. Given the close cultural and linguistic affinities of the two places (which had really only be one as far as economics were concerned as late as the 1300s) the English nobles probably had good reason to start hanging Cornishmen left and right ~ which they did in huge numbers! The lists of Cornishmen executed by the Brits was one of the first large data bases posted on the Internet. Haven't looked it up in a while, but doggone!
the Cornish ties to the continent worried England. Indeed the Scottish ties to France were always a nightmare for the English until the Protestant revolution while separated Scotland from France.
If I was elected as POTUS I would just invade Northern Mexico and claim it as a new state, and then build it anew.
Use our weakness against those that are actively using it against us.
Either that or turn the border into a mined DMZ more than what is between North and South Korea.
30 million illegals is enough to create nearly 50 congressional districts and they don’t even need to vote to do it. If they do vote, that means nearly 50 democrat congressional districts.
We should ask ourselves how much it costs to administer the average congressional district? How much pork does an average district take? How much in earmarks?
Imagine how much better off we would all be if we had less democrats in congress and less wear and tear on infrastructure and how much less taxpayer burden.
Frankly, I don’t see America as we knew it surviving at this point.
Sobering but true.
RE: If I was elected as POTUS I would just invade Northern Mexico and claim it as a new state, and then build it anew.
Aren’t you going to get congressional approval? Only Congress has the power to declare war, and invading a neighbor is war.
