    ? Are you joking? The entire modern world, including democracy and capitalism, came about in the post Treaty of Westphalia world. That's Nationalism 101.

    Yes, he did encourage us to do that. The difficulty is that those who favour socialism (from the interior of their preferred cafe), are not those who wish to serve or to help their fellow man. Obviously.

    Is it nationalism to not interfere in another country?

    Nationalism more refers to internal matters in a country, not how countries go about one and other.

    I don't know what color you are (it doesn't matter to me) but the fact you always address skin tone puts you in the "racist category". Yes, racists come in all colors. So an accurate assessment wouldn't matter to your thinking if it hit you up side the head!

    The Teachings of Jesus are opposite of commie socialism. Jesus does not deal in collectives. His teachings always address the soul of every individual. He gets you where you live as an "individual"! Render unto Caesar what is Caesar's.....it's his face on the coin anyway, but give what is God's to God.(it all belongs to God) Christians likewise are to see every person as unique individuals. Dealing in collectives is a lie. Government is only an evil necessity due to the fallen nature of mankind.

    Diversity only works if it is not forced and if it is implemented fairly.

    No one automatically gets my respect. It must be earned.

    I don't give a rats behind what your color is or if your ancestors were mistreated. Excuse me if I think something that happened 150 years ago is history.

    If you are passed over for a job, a promotion someone who is the right color or sex but less qualified, you will resent it. This is extremely counter productive. The person who got job knows it was only due to skin color. They invariably cop the attitude that "I am untouchable because my skin color or sex protects my status". The people who are passed over cop a BS attitude and do nothing to aid the new person. The people who work under the new person know he/she is undeserving and do not buy in.

    People are only accepted if they carry their weight. People who come in, commit crimes, bleed the welfare system, or demand concessions to accommodate them will not be accepted.

    In America people believe in personnel responsibility. If you drive a car, have insurance. When you work pay taxes.

    America is it's own country. If you want to retain the customs from your old country, stay there. We don't believe in mutilating girls, we don't believe in honor killing, we don't believe being gay rates a death sentence.

    You appear to know nothing of the Crusades, Marxism, Christianity, Jesus Christ or the meaning of a Strawman. You may believe what you said but that doesn't make it true - even a little bit.

    If it pleases the court, every political system, in the west anyway, claims that they would be the choice of Jesus, if Jesus were to ever show up again. But if Marx and Engels thought Christianity was against private property or marriage or "the state", whatever that could mean they show a real profound lack of understanding of what Jesus was all about.
    He certainly did not oppose marriage or private property nor did the church.

    For Marx and Engels, the guys who called religion the opium of the masses and who advocated the abolition of religion, their disdain for religion is understood in the context of their view that the working masses were pacified by their religion and it was something that prevented them from rising up against the ruling capitalist pigs. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marxism_and_religion

    And it certainly did despite that the proletariat were against the un Christian attitudes and deeds of the ruling class (despite their claims
    that they were solid good Christians).The peasants thought Jesus would deliver them from their bondage to the factory bosses.The Communists didn't feel like waiting around for that.

    The bottom line is Marx thought religion was folly and a distraction whether he thought Communism embodied some of the values of Christianity or not.

    All well and good none of this disproves my original and only point that religion and communism are not inherently compatible as US Conservative claims.

    I don't think they are. How is this controversial?

    I'm black so forgive me if I look at people like him with a certain level of distrust and skepticism when it comes to race.

    Tucker Carlson has never had any credibility. He's a loudmouthed pundit who parades as a journalist; the Madcow of the Right, only less educated then she.

    Diversity is ok, special rights and privileges are bad and unconstitutional.

    I'm white and my direct ancestors had absolutely nothing to do with the "slavery" you subtly suggest gives you an excuse for your animosity toward white individuals. So I'll accept the apology for your "pre-judgement" of people by the color of their skin.

    Those of you on the left better get used to Americans that fight back. It is now set in stone. We don't roll over like the McCains, Flakes and Romneys of the past. It is a new era. Even Blacks and Latinos are leaving the government plantation and you just don't like it.

    Putting aside that I didn’t mention slavery at all, I don’t have an excuse l just don’t trust his judgment or perspective and frankly I don’t care for what he has to say, nor did I ever.
