American Nationalist Party... A Positive Political Ideology Or Not?

Rational Nation U S A Purveyor of Truth America is angry. Angry at politicians, government, business (particularly Wall Street), fearful of Islamic terrorism and illegal immigration, concerned about our ballooning national debt, as well as host of other concerns. America is ripe for a change. A departure from business as usual in Washington DC. Folks are hungry for a leader that will promise them a change and restore the United States to greatness, The rise of Donald Trump and his nationalist populism is driven by the concerns of Americans noted above.

Being an advocates of exercising rational self interest in all thing I cannot help by marvel at Senator Marco Rubio's remarks on FOX News this Sunday. Certainly his remarks don't sound much like concern for rational self interest . Of course this is based on the belief comprehensive immigration reform is in everyone's rational self interest. But maybe it's just me. Via Memeorandum . Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) suggested on Sunday that President Obama’s refusal to compromise with Republicans on Obamacare to re-open the government and raise the nation’s debt ceiling has jeopardized the chances of passing comprehensive immigration reform. “I think immigration reform is harder to achieve today an it was three weeks ago because of what happened here,” the firs...
