    You still have failed to demonstrate just how you feel I am wrong, so there is little I can contribute in the way of clarification.

    IMO some politically active atheists are among them, but immigrants from such countries as Japan have complained to local schools about such things as the Valentine's Day exchange of Valentines cards in school.

    You do it every time you fail to make the connections.

    This is what happens when I actually do take the time to fully answer your questioning. and demonstrates the futility of bothering.

    It is the appropriate answer to a nothing cultural problem. Immigrants take a long time to assimilate. It has been that way since Roanoke, when the whites were killed off.

    We are not going back to the 1950s.

    The intent is to prevent Marxist progressives from continuing to dismantle our society.

    Do you stand for anything besides heckling?

    https://medium.com/@Perri_Fisher/pr...ssive-it-s-just-recycled-marxism-540af839ce92 see ff:

    Progressivism Isn’t Progressive; It’s Just Recycled Marxism...
    ...."The central thrust of progressivism (besides the constant guilt-mongering over endless permutations of imagined bigotry) is the idea inherent in its name- that it is “progressive,” or heralding a natural movement into the future. But just a cursory review of the history of political movements will show that these very same sentiments have ebbed and flowed throughout the course of Western history. The idea that women should be equal in every way to men, that sexuality should be unrestricted, and that traditional Christian-based family values need to be abolished in order to “advance” society are, in fact, nearly a century old.
    The root of these destructive ideas can be traced to Italian Communist philosopher Antonio Gramsci, who grew to prominence around World War I. After seeing that wealth and quality of life for workers was increasing, Gramsci theorized that traditional Western values must be destroyed in order to promote Communism, as old economic arguments could no longer be made. In other words, workers were no longer poor enough and desperate enough for Communism to appeal to them. For these ideas to take hold, cultural structures such as religion (Christianity), the family, and traditional values of personal responsibility must be broken down. ..."

    Many are catching onto this after Hillary and Obama's obvious and unprincipled "splitting" efforts, which have become even more insistent since the lost Presidential election, with the aid of funds from people like George Soros, who appear to me to be trying to use the movement to their own ends..

    You are saying 'Marxist progressives' are trying "to dismantle our society."

    You sound like you support a sort of Christian dominionism, which is fine. Just don't hide it. I don't think those pretend beings are doing what you think they are doing.

    Women and older teens can vote. Women are not answerable to men. We have a safety net. We have a fairly high standard of living. We have free speech and right to protest and right to assemble and right to believe as we wish for all who wish to believe in religion, and we respect those who do not.

    Thank you for finally posting some hard evidence.

    My support of Christianity is based on the truism that nature abhors a vacuum, and there are worse belief systems out there, such as Islam and Marxism, that would love to take its place and are exerting extreme efforts to do so. Atheism generates a certain destructive anger but little else, IMO.

    Ghandi's nonviolent movement would never have succeeded under Islam.

    While marxism, Islam, atheism, guno-ism - all would like to become dominant in our belief system in America - I think there is very little chance of that. I also believe that the Religious Right will never again have the power culturally and politically in America it once possessed.

    "And what is being done about all of these? I only see more liberal Rights protests.. I only see more Minority Grouped Interests Protests... And these in turn cause other 'right of ways' to be taken away from persons, taken away from persons who may have NOTHING to do with all of the propaganda."


    Sorry for the above sentence in the above post. I am not pinpointing the liberal Rights. That term has and is being over played by Media and speakers of Politics. What I meant to say is that the only things which seem to get air time which contain any true American/US characteristics are the protests. Of course US citizens are granted the right to assemble Peaceably. The first Amendment gives that right. However the First Amendment does NOT give rights to 'shouting' assemblies. It gives rights to Peaceful Assemblings.

    I did not mean to wrongfully use the wrong 'term'... Liberal Rights, Far Lefts, independent... Regardless.

    Besides, does anyone know what the definition of 'liberal' is?

    Words such as liberal, liberty, libertarian and libertine all trace their history to the Latin liber, which means "free" -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberalism

    Besides my 'freeness' to live, to get out of bed when I want, to eat when I want, to sleep when I want, what other forms of 'free' might I be engaged in?

    I am free to give a free sandwich to a homeless person.
    I am free to give a free cold drink to a thirsty person on a hot day.
    I am free to visit hospitals.
    I am free to tidy up my neighborhood.
    I am free to be polite.
    I am free to extend courtesies.
    I am free to allow the aged and children to be first.

    And I am also free to learn, to grow in wisdom and to share what I have learned.

    I live in a Constitutional Country.. I am NOT in Boot Camp/Training.

    GeorgiaArmy simply does not understand the cultural South, but that is OK. He is not alone.

    Georgia is about as southern as it gets and Amy is never mistaken as a male name. I have lived just south of Atlanta all my 41 years.

    Army, you can't spell your name, and you have no idea what the South is outside of metro Atlanta. You need to get out and look around, Army.

    Haha. GeorgiaAmy. Not army. Amy is my name. I have never served in the military in any capacity. Evidently you cannot read.

    That you can't spell your name is your issue. You do not know the South outside of great Atlanta.

    Amy. Pretty easy to spell. South outside of great Atlanta? That is hilarious. It's metro Atlanta or the southside.

    Thank you, Amy (I am glad you got your name right), for confirming you do not know the Lower South at all.

    The rural Lower South is noting like greater or metro Atlanta.
