Excellent and so very true. I see it played out daily at the gas station where I get coffee many mornings. White’s hold the door open for blacks, black’s say thank you and good morning. Blacks hold the door for whites and whites say thank you and good morning.
same for Hispanics, men, women, Chinese and whoever else happens to walk by.
The front door at the Wawa gas station is the great equalizer and microcosm of America.
We will, because we must MAGA.
HOORAY Prager!

Please don’t laugh, cyclotic... My beloved and I went to our local Denny’s and that was what I told my beloved! I was watching people come in and go out, and was so amazed at the wonderfully different faces!
Young families, oldsters, singles, smiling, too-early-in-the-morning faces, where-is-the-coffee-please faces and even babies sprinkled in here and there. My beloved was a bit cranky because he was having to wait for his breakfast, so he was in the where’s-my-food category. LOL
Point is, the article is right. Despite so many Lefties hating us, and despite so many illegals who only want benefits (as well as many legals with that mindset), this is a GREAT country.
Keep on, keeping on....MAGA.... AND VOTE REPUBLICAN.
My friends and I discuss the morning WAWA thing frequently, how friendly and respectful it is.
And how WAWA must just print money in the morning. It’s not unusual to see 30-40 people in the store at any given time.
Cops, contractors, engineers, sales reps, moms with kids. Everything and everybody.
This month is their any size coffee for $1.00 promotion too.
This post and thread is nice, entertaining and uplifting. I am an American Indian (Choctaw) and past-president of my rural town’s Rotary Club. I run many mornings with 4-5 obsessive soccer moms and my Black friend who is married to a white woman. They have three great teenage kids. This country can be great again if liberals will just get out of the way.
One of my favorite books is Dinesh D’Souza’s “What’s So Great About America”, and he covers this in detail.
What it boils down to is, you can come to America, get your citizenship, and...to everyone else already in America...you can BE an American.
You can’t go to Japan, get your citizenship and “be Japanese”. That would be ludicrous to other Japanese. You can get French citizenship, but...you won’t be “French”.
And so on.
But here, you can be an American, because it is an idea, not what is in your blood.
A current problem is, we SHOULD be a multi-ethnic country with a common culture, and that is what we strove for in the past when immigrants “assimilated”, the “Melting Pot”.
The Left wants a multi-cultural country where common culture is less important than tribal culture, and that is s corrosive poison.
Ive been listening to Prager for over 20 years. Trump should have him as one of his top advisors.
And realistically, who cares what their heritage or skin color is?
Great article by Prager.
I first realized America was exceptional when I’d see US military aircraft in the sky, and ask my USAAC vet dad, “Do the German and Jap planes still fly?” And he said, “No.”
-—And realistically, who cares what their heritage or skin color is?-—
Exactly!
That evening I thought: "Only in America". A Catholic priest extolling the virtues of his Jewish parishioner who loves trusting his kids to an Indian Sikh doctor.
Good old Dennis, still selling the America Is A Proposition Nation stuff, with the theory that vast numbers from the 3rd world aren’t altering the culture of the United States.
It’s amazing because he’s lived in SoCal since 1976, and you’d have to be blind not to have seen the massive change in California. Well he’s not blind, but he does travel in a bubble, from his Westside LA digs to wherever he is speaking. And like many former liberals, he’s capable of deluding himself. A nice guy, but in some ways still the clueless kid from Brooklyn wearing blinders.
Dennis was a big fan of Dubya’s amnesty attempt. In fact I’ve long suspected that both Dennis and Michael Medved were unofficial advisers to Dubya. Dennis often said that his idea of a ‘solution’ to California’s massive illegal alien problem was to massively increase the number of legal immigrants that we allow in each year. Yeah, because it’s been such a good idea to drive Californians out of this state and replace them with the imports who have voted in current crew of revolutionary socialists.
But maybe there is a glimmer of reality intruding on Dennis’ Panglossian immigration fantasy; this is something entirely new in Dennis world:
“The other threat comes from those immigrants who do not come to America to become American but to use America for its financial, medical and educational benefits while remaining attached to their own culture. “
“Ive been listening to Prager for over 20 years. Trump should have him as one of his top advisors.”
Sure, if Trump wants to become Dubya version 2.0
Only liberals use race, gender, sickness, morals, and a few hundred ways being invented daily, to separate us from each other. Diversity establishes boundaries, and forces acceptance. Our country was not founded under that idea. And until the people realize that working together willingly is for the good of all and not based upon forced acceptance of different identities to get there, we will have tools for them to use. And they don’t care who they harm in their use.

There’ a WaWa about two miles from my home, in a middle class neighborhood in Scott Taylor’s Congressional district (VA-02). The store is the new melting pot; I’ve been in there at all hours of the day (and night) and it’s just as you describe: everyone from all walks of life. The store near my home also has a strong military presence, since there are five bases within 15 miles of that location.
As many know, WaWa is a privately traded company; the only individuals allowed to own stock are the Wood family (which founded the company over 200 years ago) and employees. The latest valuation of WaWa stock put the price per share at just over $7,000—eat your heart out Google.
Of course, if you’re an hourly associate, it takes a while to purchase a single share (even if the company offers a discount), and you’re required to sell your shares the day you leave the company, through resignation, retirement or termination. There’s currently a lawsuit in the courts, filed by a former employee, who claims the company promised ex-workers they could retain their stock after leaving WaWa.
My number one best softball buddy is black. If I jump teams, he comes with me. If I buy a new bat, he wants one too......The only time we talk race is when we joke about another black player who was on our team 3 years ago and who is now in prison..........LOL!
He's a great man, a retired skilled tradesman from Chrysler and raised his kids well........
He may be a democrat, I don't know. We never talk politics.......we let the other guys do that.
