It took a while to get here. The last ~40 yrs of public education has been leading up to this moment. Kids have been taught to devalue citizenship, to the extent it has nothing to do w being raised by foreign and/or anti-American parents, but only to do w over which patch of dirt a baby was dropped. As if being raised American, with a knowledge of our traditions, history & mindset plays no part in it at all.
Then they’ve been carefully guarded from critical-rational thinking skills, taught that everything is relative/subjective, and above all indoctrinated to believe that all discrimination is wrong/bad/evil. Thus, to discriminate against the citizen children of foreigners is an unthinkable evil in the minds of the last 2 generations, at least.
You have a few older conservatives who ought to know better but who jumped on the anti-discrimination bandwagon, and now try to convince others that it represents the Framers’ thinking. As if the Framers cared more about PC than guarding the country from chief executives w foreign allegiances. People in the last category are the ones most wanting in intellectual depth & fiber. The rest can blame their public school indoctrination. Above a certain age, it’s just weak thinking—provided actual *thinking* plays any part in it at all.
Very good. Thank you. It’s disturbing why so many people can’t see the plain words of the Constitution.
The “Framers” made it plain for a reason.
