We will only become a cohesive country when we start to celebrate our COMMONALITY again. Diversity of origin but commonality of purpose. The Left is tearing this country apart. I hope there will be a road to recovery someday. That road is not close, though.
>>Or does Diversity itself have a limit?<<
Of course it does. Any man-made construct is limited by man’s inferiority.
“We will only become a cohesive country when we start to celebrate our COMMONALITY again. Diversity of origin but commonality of purpose.”
Very well said!
The funny thing about the ‘diversity’ crowd on the left is that they are absolutely intolerant of diversity of opinion - when the opinion differs from theirs.
It’s all fine until it all comes crashing down. Unfortunately, it will, despite the optimism of the Limbaugh’s and Hannity’s. This kind of lunacy can’t endure.
“Diversity” is the root cause of every war in history. Civil wars are not because people are too alike. It’s because they have differences. I’m tired of having diversity crammed down my throat. So, my next door neighbor wants to sexually mutilate his daughter?
At one of the jobs I worked a 45 year old Palestinian flew home to get married. He returned with a pregnant thirteen year old. (I met her when she was eighteen and mother or five.) He selected her because, “She was in he poorest circumstances and would be the most grateful to me for taking her away.) Diversity, oh yeah. His goal was to have nineteen children as that’s what his father had done.
The Federalist is not what it used to be.
Why invite the Prof “I am a Christian but I am more broad-minded than you” to sprout homosexuality on the coca cola ad?
I certainly didn’t get the vibe of ANY HINT of us rejecting the coca cola ad because some homosexuals speaking Spanish or other language.
Border, Language and Culture makes a country a country.
“diversity” A politically correct word that means “Surrender all the ideals upon which your country was founded in order to make enemies of your country feel at home here.”
We are NOT a diverse country. We are a melting pot. Come here and become AMERICAN or don’t come here at all.
Diversity is a scheme of the left to destroy us.
The first one is the world come together to celebrate Americanism, this one celebrates the Balkanization of America. Proposal to break up California into 6 states should give you a clue.
You might want to re-read the article. Either that or my reading comprehension skills have gone to pot. I don’t see him “sprouting” homosexuality there, but if you can point out to me where he does, I’d appreciate it.
Imagine if pig iron was able to say, "Hey, I'm part of this steel, but I'm going to retain my pig iron properties." If that's the case, then the pig iron isn't fully integrated into the steel. Therefore, it becomes a weakness in the quality of the steel.
Joe Rigney is an evangelical Christian the same way that Episcopalians or Presbyterians call themselves Christians. They ordain practicing homosexuals to leadership positions within the church, only to have them preach homosexual advocacy and immorality to the flock. Yes, that type of Christian.
In a republic, Leftist diversity means eventual doom.
>>Or must we humbly dissent from the Americanist creed and in so doing be branded as bad Americans?
I’m beyond caring whether I’m branded a “bad American”.
As stuff melts into the pot, its composition gradually changes.
And that’s OK.
But the multi-cultis insist that we all accept everything as America before it melts in and is absorbed. And that is an utterly nonsensical POV.
This is 2014 and the language has been corrupted to imply that lies are the real truth. The REAL truth is that “diversity” as it is used today is a codeword for THE ultimate segregation. Segregation, one from another, complete and utter.
Wow! Nailed on the very first post.
Outstanding.
“... one that is as committed to Gelernter’s fourth great religion as any patriotic redneck or Constitution-wielding Tea-partier.”
And herein lies the key to the writer whole perspective of America. In his small mind, only rednecks are patriots and only a “Tea-partier” would “wield” the Constitution.
On the other hand, he may be correct. You seldom see patriots or Constitutionalists these days who are liberal.
