It would seem that we are getting close to a point like in the latter Roman Empire when Rome forced citizenship on everyone in the Empire (Roman and non-Roman alike) to expand its tax base. I’m waiting for the day when Washington, DC announces that all human beings are Americans. It’s coming. After all, the only real difference between a US citizen and a non-US citizen is a piece of paper. And paper is cheap.

Hey, if this is truly a universal ‘land of immigrants’ then why aren’t all humans everywhere US citizens? That makes sense, right? And with all these immigrants who are given ‘official status’ as Michel Martin says, we will be incredibly enriched and blessed by the diversity they will bring us, right? Maybe they can do for Baltimore, the South and the US as a whole what they did for San Bernardino. We’ll soon see.
US citizenship is very cheap these days – and nearly universal
The mayor of Baltimore is well known for stealing from the homeless in Baltimore, and her recent attitudes on immigration are a slap in the face to all Baltimoreans who have generations of roots in the city. She is content to see the city and the South in general turned inside out. A drastic 180 from the mayor in the 1990′s who used the Sons of Confederate Veterans Maryland Color Guard as the official Colors for the city’s bicentennial, this woman is viciously anti-Southern and anti-white.
Why would anyone be proud of being an ‘American’? The term means nothing at all. It’s no more than a variable that anyone can assign whatever meaning they want. Then praise those whom they believe to be ‘American’ and condemn those whom they believe to be ‘un-American’.
What kills me is when I see the angry belligerent faces, screaming for justice because somehow we have wronged them. Really? What is their problem exactly? Same as spoiled children whose parents won’t tell them they cannot have everything they want. The lady on the left is wearing a cross, a symbol of Christianity. Thou shalt not steal, honey.
Harold, that’s why I don’t identify myself as an American anymore. I always tell people I’m a Southerner (or Southron if they’ll understand the term, which apparently not even Google Chrome does). I try my best to distance myself from the term “American” because the connotations it has are not ones I want connected with my name and reputation.
First, they are not citizens therefore have no rights! Second, if they don’t like the situation go back home! That brings up another issue….I have decided that I personaly don’t owe anybody nothin they didn’t work for or earn. When asked where i’m from? I always reply “South of the Mason Dixon Line”!
“But GV! How could you say such hateful things? All they want is a better life!” Not at our involuntary expense. Charity is one thing, a very good thing. But it is voluntary. It is willingly giving away what you have to help someone else. You don’t owe it to them. You do it out of kindness. You are right, GV, that we don’t owe them anything. But that’s what the left can’t understand. They see the end as justifying the means. As long as the end result is our money going to help these people, they don’t see a difference between voluntary charity and involuntary socialism and wealth redistribution. And since charity doesn’t come in the numbers they want, they force it out of us. I, too, am starting to answer “The South” or “Dixieland” when asked where I’m from.
