And if by some miracle the nationalist is elected and is able to do the things he said he will do it will be the *elites that will feel effect; there overseas investments will be worth less and will have to pay the peons doing their yard work more.kmccune wrote:) Sorry I am not buying the rhetoric a "Nationalist" spouts .

I expected to be placed in an air force combat position such as security police, forward air control, pararescue or E.O.D. I would have liked dog handler. I had heard about the dog Nemo and was highly impressed. “SFB” is sad I didn’t end up in E.O.D.

"Nationalism" by definition means that this abstract, amorphious being, "The Nation" is more important than the individual or collective that are the residents and citizens of that nation.
