If you live in a rural area of a Red State you just might be a Progressive We have much more in common than what divides us, no matter for which presidential candidate we voted. At the end does he get kinda corny in a Red State Southern Baptist kinda way?
Why was the Russian ambassador at the Republican Party Convention in Cleveland last year? Amen TML, I was wondering the same thing. Perhaps the reason is because of the SCOTUS Citizens United decision enabling the creation of 501c4 SuperPACs that don’t have to disclose who are their donors so Russian government and oligarchs can anonymously donate to influence our political campaigns and elections just like American government and oligarchs do, hedging their bets on whichever side of the isle they want to influence. It makes for an equal opportunist system of nuanced relationships clandestinely played in the stadiums and arenas of The Two Parties conventions. Where the winner is determined by who can pay the least for the most influence in the best government money can buy

Guess Richard Spencer doesn’t know American history and what is E pluribus unum. “One out of many” or “One from many”, the original motto appearing on most U.S. currency and on the Great Seal of the United States. It was first proposed by the U.S. Continental Congress in 1782. E Pluribus Unum still appears on U.S. coins even though it is not the official national motto. Although never codified by law, E Pluribus Unum was considered a de facto motto of the United States until 1956 when the United States Congress passed an act (H. J. Resolution 396), adopting “In God We Trust” as the official motto. The change was motivated by fear of the Soviet Union and “godless communism” during the height of the Cold War and the “red scare” of the 1950’s. Many feel the change was a mistake that violated the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution and betrayed the secular values upon which the U.S. was founded, as well as the explicit intentions of the founding fathers. In fact, “E Pluribus Unum” was the original motto proposed and established by founding fathers John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, and Thomas Jefferson in 1776.
