Has anyone noticed that Trump-inspired concepts of Make America Great Again and America First concepts have been boiled down by political pundits to Nationalism? In my mind the Trumpian concepts are Nationalistic BUT in the sense of Patriotism.
I use the word “BUT” because if you listen to today’s Dem or any Leftist ideologue, you would hear that “Nationalism” is akin to Nazism. Indeed, a Leftist worth their salt in ideology will point out the word Nazi (actually more accurately “NAZI”) in anglicized form derives from National Socialist German Workers’ Party. The anglicized initials came down to NSDAP derived from the German “Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei”. To Americans, Brits and other English-speaking nations (largely descended from Great Britain) the NSDAP simply became the Nazi Party or Nazis.
The point being today’s Leftists see the “National” and conveniently forget the “Socialist” portion of Nazi and equate the term with Right-Wing German racist nationalism. More on this modern Leftist propaganda equating national borders as racism and an enemy to the globalist utopia imagined by Leftist ideologues – in a later post.
For now, I want to assure you that Trumpian Nationalism is more akin to American Patriotism, American Exceptionalism and love nation and founding heritage.
PragerU has the assurance and proper explanation of Nationalism in a five and one-half video spoken by the author of The Virtue of Nationalism – Yoram Hazony.

So readers, I’ve been using a seven year old laptop to fulfill the old blogging habit. My lovely wife sprang for a Christmas upgrade. I’m a relatively small-time blogger but with a consistently growing readership despite some token censorship from the liberal-oriented blog and social platforms. Still looking to defray the Christmas costs.

I SHALL STAND MY GROUND FOR THE TEN COMMANDMENTS. I AM NOT A NATIONALIST, I AM A CITIZEN OF THE HEAVENS AWAITING THE RETURN OF JESUS CHRIST, MY LORD AND MY MESSIAH. WE SHOULD TELL TRUMP TO BE A NATIONALIST AND SELL EVERY SINGLE DAMNED BUSINESS HE OWNS OVERSEAS AND GLOBALLY, AND BRING ALL HIS FUNDS TO THE UNITED STATES. NO I DO NOT CARE FOR TRUMP, CLINTONS, BUSH, OR OBAMA AND MANY OTHERS. THEY HAVE ALREADY SOLD US OUT, AND WE KNOW THE ANTI-CHRIST IS JUST ABOUT AROUND THE CORNER, NO I AM JUST A RESIDENT HERE. WE SHOULD TELL THOSE EVER LIVING IN THE WHITE HOUSE FROM GENERATIONS AND ELECTIONS ON END, TO BE NATIONALIST, PERHAPS IF WE HAD A GOVERNMENT THAT WE TRUE NATIONALISTS, WE WOULD NOT BE SOLD OUT. WHEN OBAMA ENTERED OFFICE, HE ALREADY HAD 44 COUSINS IN THE CONGRESS. MUCH PEOPLE DO NOT KNOW ABOUT DESIGNED AND PLANNED GENES, AS TO WHO SHALL MARRY WHO, WHEN AND HOW. I AM SICK AND DISGUSTED HAVING PEOPLE SENT TO WAR, AND BLOOD SPILLED SINFULLY, AS BANKERS, AND WORLD LEADERS PLAN AND DESIGN WARS. I AM A CITIZEN OF THE HEAVENS AND I WAS INSTRUCTED BY MY HEAVENLY FATHER AND CREATOR YAHVEH TO BE JUST THAT AND ONLY THAT, AND TO HAVE NO OTHER LOYALTIES, AND I SURELY CAN SEE WHY. HOW DARE THEY HAVE A SHADOW GOVERNMENT AND BE A PART OF IT!!! HOW DARE THEY ALLOW IMMIGRATION AND ASYLUM SEEKERS TO COME IN AND THEN TREAT THEM AS ROYALTY AND TREAT US LIKE GARBAGE!!! HOW DARE THEY ALLOW MUSLIMS TO SEEK POLITICAL OFFICE, EVEN LIVE HERE, AND FORCE US TO ACCEPT SHARIA LAW!!! I AM A CITIZEN OF THE HEAVENS, AND THIS PATRIOTIC CRAP HAS JUST GOTTEN EVIL, ROTTEN, AND CORRUPT. I AM A CITIZEN OF THE HEAVENS!!! THEY CAN ALL GO TO HELL WITH THE MARK OF THE BEAST!!!
