Republican Senator Ben Sasse

Republican Senator from Nebraska, Ben Sasse


"You don’t get America. You said: 'You do not have some human right, some abstract thing given to you by God or something like that.' Actually, that's exactly what America declares we do have: People are the image-bearers of God, created with dignity and inalienable rights. Sadly, you don't understand human dignity. A person's skin, ancestry, and bank balance have nothing to do with their intrinsic value. This declaration of universal dignity is what America is about. Madison called our Constitution 'the greatest reflection on human nature.' You talk about culture but don't know squat about western heritage -- which sees people not as tribes but as individuals of limitless worth. The celebration of universal dignity IS our culture, and it rejects your 'white culture' crybaby politics. It rejects all identity politics. Sometime after moving back into your parents' basement, you knock-off Nazis fell in love with reheated 20th century will-to-power garbage. Your 'ideas' aren't just hateful, un-American poison -- they're also just so dang boring. The future doesn't belong to your stupid memes."


This was said to alt-right leader Richard Spencer.

Moments like these make me proud of my Republican membership.

That's because the GOP is, yet once again, swimming Left. That's what they do. It's called "the Overton Window", and it's always moving Left.

Would you like the GOP to fall in line with the thinking of Richard Spencer?

Funny, the Senator from Nebraska reminds me a whole lot of why I left the Democrats about 17 years ago.

I would like both parties to go out of business, and I would like America to repent and seek God and obey His Word.

But that's not going to happen without a major correction.

so hes saying we all are equal and have intrinsic worth and THEN he starts bemoaning "crybaby white culture".....really?

whites leave and its "white flight" and its called racist
whites move into "black neighborhoods" and its called "gentrification " and thats racist.

and then we have idiots like The Reverend Al "not so" Sharpton saying that whites were living in caves while Africans were building the Pyramids and all this caterwauling of "stolen" technology.

Listen...if I invent the hamburger and someone else steals my idea, that does not keep me from ever making hamburgers again.

Im by no means saying white westerners have the most advanced technology...Id pass that to the Asians. Higher IQ on average and they have civilizations built over 1,000s of years. Plus they invented gunpowder and toilet paper...so theres that.

I don't think you get what he is saying.

"The celebration of universal dignity IS our culture, and it rejects your 'white culture' crybaby politics."

Richard Spencer's brand of politics does not celebrate "universal dignity". That is what Senator Sasse is saying.

Senator Sasse is criticizing white culture in the sense that Spencer employs that breeds racial strife and division along racial lines. Spencer and his ilk are the crybabies, not America.
