You have no idea how funny your accusation is. Regardless, why the adhominems, if one is not well informed, according to you? Do you see that you are the one being "nasty"? I make no references to specific people. If my opinion of certain groups is not in keeping with "citizenship of the world" that is because my only citizenship is of the U.S.A. You apparently do not accept my having freedom of speech, nor be discriminating towards groups, as a private citizen. On this forum there are many people that do not like Americans, or have issues with them. Or, with pro-Israel Jews. Or, with military veterans.
But, I'll say one thing about you. Your opinions of some people seems to be something that you have a great need to promulgate, as though aside from a great knowledge of history, you are determined to spread the correct opinion of some people. Perhaps, you are correct; however, its the need to promulgate your "truth" that is interesting. Perhaps, you are doing that based on a desire to protect the other posters from my supposed bad traits that you have discerned? You are then a very noble fellow. Your willingness to be so judgemental is very interesting, however. I have though seen such a degree of being judgemental here in NYC often. You might not be of their same socio-economic group; however, being judgemental is very typical for New York's old ethnic divisions. But, as I said, you are more likely to be doing it for a noble reason.
P.S.: Since the term "citizen of the world" has been used on this thread, I believe, and other threads, I believe in a positive way, I am curious of your educated opinion where one's loyalty should be, as a citizen of the world. You do know that American Jews are often thought of as less loyal to the U.S., since many are pro-Israel. Now that's a degree beyond the "dual loyalty" accusation, since it implies that American Jews give their loyalty first to Israel. And, you do know that during John Kennedy's run for presidency, he had to publicly state that he answers to no foreign powers (the Vatican). So, how did citizen of the world become such an innocuous term, when the concern over dual loyalty, or non-loyalty to the U.S., had always been such a concern for Americans? Or, are Americans allowed to be citizens of the world, as long as they don't side with Israel in their politics, or overtly talk about the world-wide concerns of the Catholic Church (unequal apportionment of wealth, militarism)? Perhaps, the concerns of the Catholic Church have been secularized by the progressive left, and therefore it is acceptable to be overtly for these concerns, without raising the spectre of one being a radical Catholic?
