(I mean, I’m aware that racism exists in Europe, but I thought it was a bit more subtle and masked; I didn’t expect to hear Tea Party rhetoric from a European.This could have been written by Donald Trump.)

What is wrong with being a “Nationalist”? What is wrong with having pride in one’s birth nation, especially in the case of England? What is wrong with being a nativist? Or being judgemental? Or accepting that our way of life is best or us though not necessarily for other nationalities or “cultures” or races? Or that theirs is not compatible with ours? Why should WE change, especially to incorporate values and even morality from foreigners?

For that matter while the present POTUS may be a bit gauche the is no way that he could be described as being anti-American in his values or his actions.

Such a change from Barack Hussein eh?
