“The new culture war is about national identity rather than religion and 'transcendent authority.' It focuses on which groups the United States will formally admit to residence and citizenship. It asks the same question as the old culture war: 'Who are we?' But the earlier query was primarily about how we define ourselves morally. The new question is about how we define ourselves ethnically, racially and linguistically. It is, in truth, one of the oldest questions in our history, going back to our earliest immigration battles of the 1840s and 1850s.” WarStatesCultureAsksUnitedUnited StatesGroupsIdentityBattleAuthorityImmigrationCitizenshipTranscendentResidenceNational IdentityQueriesNew CulturesOld Culture Author:E.

“It's probably hard for anyone looking at my landscapes today to realize that I was once regarded as a rebel, a dangerous influence; that I've been told I was on the verge of insanity, that my painting was nothing but meaningless daubs. Lawren Harris, the man most responsible for drawing the Group of Seven together, was accused of something perilously close to treason - his paintings, said his severest critics, were discouraging immigration.” MenSaidHardTodayTogetherRealizingGroupsInfluenceDangerousHe ManPaintingCriticismResponsibleCriticsSevenDrawingImmigrationLandscapeInsanityRebelMeaninglessAccusedDiscouragingTreasonVerge Author:A.

“ACORN, you may recall, is the left-wing activist group with longtime ties to community organizer-turned-President Barack Obama. The nonprofit, which now takes in 40 percent of its revenues from American taxpayers after four decades on the public teat, has a history of engaging in voter fraud, corporate shakedowns, partisan bullying and pro-illegal immigration lobbying. The Democrats' stimulus proposals could make the group - and its lesser known but even more radical ideological allies - eligible for upward of $5 billion in new public cash.” MayLeftPresidentCommunityKnownFourGroupsPercentWingsDemocratDecadesBillionsImmigrationRadicalBarackCorporateTiesIllegalActivistVotersBullyingAlliesFraudCashRecallsEngagingRevenueProposalTaxpayersStimulusIdeologicalPartisansPresident Barack ObamaLeft WingIllegal ImmigrationOrganizerNonprofitsAcornsLobbyingVoter FraudLesser Known Author:Michelle Malkin
“ISIS is a radical jihadist group that is increasingly sophisticated in its ability, for example, to radicalize American citizens, in its inability to exploit loopholes in our legal immigration system, in its ability to capture and hold territory in the Middle East, as I outlined earlier, in multiple countries.” CountryAbilityGroupsMiddleExampleCitizensEastImmigrationRadicalTerritoryCaptureMiddle EastMultipleSophisticatedInabilityExploitsAmerican CitizensLoopholesLegal Immigration Author:Marco Rubio
