it's just an antiquated parlance. nothing more.
americanism is a multicultural identity.
we are united in our constitution and bill of rights.
THAT is our true identity, but since you're a student of critical race theory you cant imagine anything else but racially defined identity, and are stupid.

There is no such thing as a good internet forum for dialogue.
Internet fora are not the venues for dialogue.
People don't even know with whom they are trying to communicate.
At least JPP provides a fairly open forum for monologue.
Just don't advocate child abuse [Vitamin B12 violation] or try to "dox" people and you should be OK.
Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel. Samuel Johnson, 1775
Religion....is the opiate of the people. Karl Marx, 1848
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose. Kris Kristofferson, 1969

Agreed. He wears Christianity as a mask so he can spread hate against Jews and anyone he dislikes, but he clearly isn't more than a Christian Nationalist.

What is Christian nationalism?
What is Christian Nationalism?
“Christian nationalism identifies the nation with God's will and action in the world; conflates national and Christian identity; and identifies service of the nation with service of God,” writes Dr. David W. Scott, who is a Methodist historical researcher and the Director of Mission Theology at the General Board of Global Ministries of The United Methodist Church. “Christian nationalism gives moral cover for actions, even unseemly ones, taken in pursuit of national or political goals.”...
...Those who hold to a Christian nationalist view assume a religious duty in defending their beliefs in regards to the nation. So many of those who stormed the U.S. Capitol felt quite natural in holding up “Jesus 2020” and “Jesus Saves!” banners. They believed their actions were a defense of the nation and therefore sanctioned by God.
The events of January 6, 2021, expose the dangers of Christian nationalism. Uniting a religious fervor with domestic events incites a passion and sense of priority that many of us consider out of place--especially those of us in the Christian sphere who reject a Christian nationalist perspective. National priorities are simply not equal to the priorities of God. We become acutely aware of this when we have disagreements over what our national priorities are.
Many of those who stormed the Capitol did so under a presumption they were defending democracy. The rest of us believe they were trying to overturn democracy. To assume that one side works on behalf of God while the other works in rejection of Divine order is a perversion of the unity that could exist in, at least, recognizing shared spiritual ideals. That spiritual unity cannot exist when we suggest that true Christians either wear red hats and carry “Don’t Tread on Me” flags or do not.
