"Nationalism is further oriented towards developing and maintaining a national identity based on shared, social characteristics, such as culture and language, religion and politics, and a belief in a common ancestry."
I'd be interested to know where you got that additional definition. Put simply, source please.
Quote:If you limit the definition of "nationalism" to just supporting the country then "Yes" ever President should be a nationalist. But The United States, while a nation built by immigrants from all over the world, is a majority Caucasian Christian. So some "Nationalist" groups support the belief that we can't be having Mexican or Muslim immigrants destroying the "purity" of our national identity as white Christians.
You're simply pointing out that any belief system, pushed to extremes, will be bad or contain undesirable elements. I have made this point numerous times. Any ideology pushed to extremes becomes toxic.
Quote:Since you are a nationalist who supports "placing primary emphasis on promotion of our culture" how do you define that culture?
An interesting statement from you considering I did not make this claim.
Quote:Is it a welcoming "melting pot" or is it "white Christian"?
This is one of the reasons P&R is so toxic. In no way shape or form did I intimate this. I think we'd all very much appreciate if debate on this sub-forum excluded loaded questions such as these that clearly attempt to portray the other person as a bigot or extremist. Put simply, you can do better than this, so please do so.
