"Plans for Caucus Promoting 'Anglo-Saxon Political Traditions' Scrapped Amid Criticism"
https://www.google.com/amp/s/slate.c...traditions.amp
^ Standard fare for rightwing morons: the Anglo-Saxon "political tradition" has not existed since the Battle of Hastings a thousand years ago, and it certainly had nothing to do with constitutional government, liberty, and civil rights.America First Caucus Draft Mission Statement:
Immigration:
"The America First Caucus recognizes that our country is more than a mass of consumers or a
series of abstract ideas. America is a nation with a border, and a culture, strengthened by a common respect for uniquely Anglo-Saxon political traditions."

Yes, that was at least two centuries after the Anglo-Saxons were replaced by the Normans at the top of England's pecking order.
Magna Carta only was a supposed guarantee of the civil rights of very wealthy men who had titles of nobility. In short, it provided some civil rights to less than one percent of the English population. King John ultimately just blew off implementing or recognizing the legitimacy of Magna Carta.
But I think you are implying that Magna Carta provided the seed which, centuries later, ultimately contributed to the ideological framework for the Glorious Revolution of 1688, and the British liberal constitutional tradition of the 19th century.

Republican Congressman Ken Buck:
“We’re at a time in American politics, that I am not going to lie on behalf of my presidential candidate, on behalf of my party. And I’m very sad that others in my party have taken the position that, as long as we get the White House, it doesn’t really matter what we say,”

You’re right, and I don’t care lol?
Jesus was also a Jew. I read the actual outline put out by the Pasty White Caucus and they should have known better than to put the Anglo bit in there since those are fighting words to the SJW’s. Consequently, the whole thing devolves into a racialist debate and those never get anywhere. I’m pretty sure they’re not supposed to.
Other than that, much of it made good sense.
Coup has started. First of many steps. Impeachment will follow ultimately~WB attorney Mark Zaid, January 2017

Keep up the good work!
I made it a project to acquire a working knowledge of English history, because it sheds a lot of light on American history.
Now if somebody asked me anything about Latin American history, I would mostly be grasping at straws!
You are right about Magna Carta - it set a bar which all future developments in constitutional government had to clear.
