Just what is left to rally around? When we pulled away from decadent, senescent europe we were a divided people. Half wanted to keep the status quo. But our freedom loving Founders won the race. By the time we fought the british in 1812 we had evolved a unified culture. It was ours. So what happened? Greed? We used to be very particular about immigration. We insisted on revoking all allegiance to former states. Then the quest for cheap labor opened wide the door and immigrants poured in. There remained some semblance of pride in new citizenship...our loyalty oath demanded it. But that went out the window with dual citizenship and all its progressive trappings. We are now an unhomogenized mix of cultures each bragging their own little-fill-the-blanks, our voting ballots written in a hodgepodge of languages. And we now also host the cartels, mafias from virtually every eastern european ethnicity (including the original from italy) and the tongs/ triads from china. Our laws are a joke to these vermin. In short, we have no culture to rally around. We are globalized. The only way back is to regain our Constitution in its original form which requires the repeal of bad laws, bad court decisions and their derivatives. Shelly is right in her criticisms of SCOTUS. If SCOTUS continues the way is has in the past, we are toast.
First and foremost, our laws are a joke to the vermin who constitute the majority of the leadership in the US. The Deep State if you will. Open borders allows them to run child trafficking and drugs across our borders with ease, aided and abetted by the alphabet agencies. NAFTA was really a formalization of the organized crime syndicate in North America.
We are in the throes of falling for freebies and false dreams. Confusions (transitioning, et al) and distractions. There are still folks on each side and perhaps a majority who either aren't paying attention or are too confused to do more than go with the flow. I agree we need to go (get leadership) back to morality and our founding imperatives. The hooker is how to stimulate beneficial involvement. SCOTUS has its perfidious leader and Brown in particular as at issue. Not to mention it is under attack. At the least we probably could benefit from providing positive reinforcement and appreciation to its stalwarts. Now pencilneck has apparently tendered legislation to expand its numbers. That aspect of our Administration does warrant strengthening IMO.
Also an issue: "Today, the Court, for the first time in its history, grants a business open to the public a constitutional right to refuse to serve members of a protected class," Sotomayor wrote. "Our Constitution contains no right to refuse service to a DISFAVORED GROUP."
The use of language is one of ‘their’ many means of persuasion. Selectively calling out associations with their disfavored people and groups is another – think Thomas and the many hit pieces on him to force new myopic rules on the justices.
Lbj's great society was a monumental mistake. Aside from creating the civil rights div in the doj which is as corrupt a deep state agency as there is, you cannot legislate out prejudice. It will out itself when the culture is ready. Okla was a fully segregated state. However, when an upscale restaurant in OKC insisted on resisting integration customers simply quit eating there. Only took a week or so and they came around. OKC was ready and it did not require fed intervention. Conversely, when lbj pulled the trigger on his pathway to welfare serfdom I saw a resurgence of race animosity I had not seen in many years.
Exactly, Shelley, the vaccines, the poor diets and the drugs that follow to temper the effects of vaccines and poor diets, it is a perfect demonic self perpetuating imprisonment of the body and mind, and it leaches down generationally.
Furthermore, the effects of that cycle (and other cycles) creates a scenario where it is very difficult to reach people for the overwhelming reason, they have no other way to go. The rest are comforted by ignorance and likely more high scale brain candy.
That's very true, all of it. There were many naysayers at the time and they were obviously roundly rebuffed for having such wisdom. I remember when Rand Paul first ran for his senate seat, he made the comment the CR Act was a mistake. He was mincing around that statement for several months trying to water it down to only this or that. Again, it's the narrative spin, if you don't like what we are doing you are a xxxx. Obamcare got the same reaction, Ryan pushing grandma in a wheelchair of the cliff. Don't like the $$$$$$$$ going to Ukraine, or the open border ... or the green new deal
Ted Kennedy is the one that shepherd through the 1965 egregious immigration law in Congress that authorized the non-stop chain migration coming from the southern border. Is it any wonder that TX has more Hispanics then white people now? In 2020 nationwide Hispanics make up 19%, Blacks 12.6%. In 1960 Whites 85%, Blacks 11%, Hispanics 3.5%. Thanks Ted.
Two ways. First, SCOTUS needs to overturn some very bad decisions. Aside from their own virulence the decisions made referencing them create a nasty pathway to be followed by progressive jurists. Second, we need to have any new decisions made by them adhere to the Constitution and not wonder afield as they are wont to do.
We need to appoint extremely brave Judges to SCOTUS. I mean really, really brave people. I like our Republican SCOTUS Judges, but I didn't expect Kavanaugh and Barrett to allow themselves to be so intimidated.
Unfortunately, Jennifer, "We" don't have the opportunity to appoint SCOTUS Justices; and almost as ALWAYS is the case, so-called "Republicans" in the Senate rubber stamp whomever the so-called "Democrats" (read Liberals, Progressives, Socialists & Communists) who identify themselves as "Democrats" - INCLUDING some RINO "Republicans" choices for that highest of judicial office.
Rather than lifetime TENURE, it would be nice if SCOTUS "justices" faced ANNUAL REVIEW and re election - or NOT - BY "We the People" - which would no doubt take a Constitutional Amendment - which CONGRESS would NEVER allow.

"you cannot legislate out prejudice. It will out itself when the culture is ready."
Exactly. Want a more enlightened society? Invest in the children and wait 20 years.
We did the opposite in America, the equivalent to feeding sugar to kids and wondering why they went nuts.
Or injecting them with vaccines and drugs to dumb them down hen filling the heads with garbage knowing garbage in garbage out.

Michael? Can you expand on just HOW to "regain" our Constitution?
Two ways. First, SCOTUS needs to overturn some very bad decisions. Aside from their own virulence the decisions made referencing them create a nasty pathway to be followed by progressive jurists. Second, we need to have any new decisions made by them adhere to the Constitution and not wonder afield as they are wont to do.
the Joker in the POTUS deck is John Roberts...a Rehnquist he is definitely NOT.
Agree wholeheartedly

Rather than lifetime TENURE, it would be nice if SCOTUS "justices" faced ANNUAL REVIEW and re election - or NOT - BY "We the People" - which would no doubt take a Constitutional Amendment - which CONGRESS would NEVER allow.
Plus, we would have to argue with Democrats whether to use "one man one vote" or the Electoral College system for voting.
