Who Should be Excluded from Celebrating 250th

[Johny Joe Hold]

It bothers me many groups that are unpatriotic and should be in some other country are planning to celebrate our 250th birthday. I could fill this page with names that do not love our country. There is socialist Bernie Sanders, Obama, Harris, Biden and on and on. Then there are the atheists, Hindus, Jews and Muslims. None of these are Americans.

There are Republicans in name only who are not standing with our President. Pox on them.

President Trump has cabinet members who should be assigned the task of kicking out the unpatriotic.

It says: ‘‘In short, not every American is happy about America at 250’’ –Jerry Newcombe (editorial comment)

& later: ‘‘the general Principles of Christianity, in which all these Sects were United’’ –John Adams, 1813

I don't understand. As you pointed out, persons sad about America at 250 are not really Americans. Unless being sad is a national characteristic, in which case the happy people would be not American. The context was quotes about loving America or wanting to live somewhere else. (Personally, I can't see why then they wouldn't go to the airport, hop on the first plane and you can be anywhere in the world in 24 hours.) But I digress.

Later, farther down the page, comes this inane idea that all Sects are united? I'm taking "were United" as past simple (tense) referring to an event prior to 1813 which united them. But surely the whole idea of divers sects is that they're NOT united? Otherwise they'd be THE SAME sect. It's very confusing, as though the Principles of Christianity they can't agree on, thus causing the sects in the first place, suddenly became universal yet the sects still remained? In that case, it would have to be something else Uniting the Sects.

I now have a headache and need to lie down.
