Entry: Race, Nationalism, and Patriotism, Part III: Patriotism Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/race_nationalism_and_patriotism_part_iii_patriotism#15886 Post contents: Mr Richert, thank you. I suppose the problem is that there are indeed many Americans that either do not have or do not feel that they have a "tie" to the land on which they currently live. Some of my ancestors came to the Mountains of Appalachia over 200 years ago, my grandparent's house is still in the family, my great-uncle's house is still lived in by his great grandson, the land of my great-great-grandparents is still owned by another family member, we still gather apples out of the apple trees planted by my great grandparents, only a handful of us still live up in the mountains, but no one is that far away, and we still visit several times a year, and we are still buried there. A "rootless cosmopolitan" I am not, although I did not grow up in those Mountains. That is how strong my "natio" has a bond with it's "patria". Prozium, my cousin has adopted a boy from Guatemala. I suppose since he is not "White" it means he is not part of the "natio"? I'd like you to tell him, his father, and his grandfather (who, at the age of 72 and a couple of heart attacks could still whip your ass) that. Sent at: 2008 07 24
