With all due respect, this is fucking un-American, and thank God our founders thought differently. We are united by a Common Law, not a common tribe. I repeat: we are not tribe, you and I. There's no way to cut it by which we are - even and especially by religion. Don't forget, modern Social Justice Warriors are simply a secular shadow of the Social Gospel Warriors come before them. Christians banned alcohol, for Christ's sake. Was that your tribe? Or was that a bunch of children of immigrants in whom was never inculcated a sufficient respect for our Law?

The founding principles of this nation can endure but one "tribe" and its king is the Constitution.

The right of free association. That's pretty damned American.

Naturally, yes. But the fraternal nature of free association derives from the axiomatic position of mutual benefit within free enterprise. Doing business solely with members of your tribe is not necessarily doing business solely with those whom benefit you most. People are free to introduce purity tests, religious or otherwise, to their business decisions, but I fear this will only lead to infighting and witch trials. Joe Biden is a confirmed Catholic, for example. Many people don't even consider Catholics as Christians, let alone Biden.

Nah, that's when you have the luxury of a living republic, we do not - you should catch up on the news. Besides, you are being obtuse - for no reason here - I think the point is rational and clear.

Unless you just want to skip ahead to the part where we start killing each other?

Personally, I'd prefer a little break for a time before that to get some things in order.

Do not forget that these people want you broke, dead, your kids raped and brainwashed...
