What is an ethnic Lutheran?

Dunno.  I suppose a Lutheran is an "ethnic Lutheran" exactly as Ivanka Trump is an "ethnic Jew" in order to be a Jewish-American.  I have never really worked out all the lines you guys draw around your race and nation and ethnicity myths.  Why can't Lutherans just be Lutheran and Jews be Jewish, without hyphenation of any kind?

People tend to cluster in ways that reflect things they share in common.  Sometimes these clusters are defined by multiple characteristics, and the labels of such clusters may at best reflect only their predominant characteristic.  It would personally please me greatly if such clusters and the lines around them could be expressed in an aesthetically clean and simple algorithmic way, such as solely by religion, ethnicity, or place of origin, but alas centuries of history tend to move reality out of those crisp neat delineations.

I know it's New York, but upstate has millions of people in it.  That's a crazy stat

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Illegals no doubt

I don't think illegals usually register as Republicans.

Thanks for sharing the viewpoint of the Gibberish-Americans. :thumbsup:

It probably sounded clever in your head.

Trump is an inspiration  :( :mad:

QuoteNigeria's army posted the video of Trump saying U.S. troops would shoot migrants if they threw stones, citing it to defend their unlawful use of automatic weapons to slaughter of 49 peaceful Shiite protesters.https://www.

Quote from: David FahrentholdThe judge in the emoluments clause case cited this tweet from @realDonaldTrump to reject Trump's argument that any lawsuit would impose undue burdens on the presidency.
In this tweet, Trump actually invited a lawsuit from one of his enemies! He's got time, it seems.

Quote from: Donald J. TrumpI hope John Brennan, the worst CIA Director in our country's history, brings a lawsuit. It will then be very easy to get all of his records, texts, emails and documents to show not only the poor job he did, but how he was involved with the Mueller Rigged Witch Hunt. He won't sue!

Jr. Using neo-nazi rhetoric. That's some white genocide bullshit he's peddling. And the sentence he uses 88 in has 14 words.

OK, I know the significance of "88" but I'm not convinced that was intentional.  What's the significance of "14"?

The explicit words he is using are neonazi rhetoric in and of themselves. Saying repopulate is straight up white genocide talk.

14 represents the fourteen words.

I'd say that you were doing an excellent parody of the paranoid left, but I don't think you realize at all how much of a parody you are. 

Junior is stupid and his ideas are dumb, but the fact is that Maine has a demographic problem and immigrants are probably the only solution.  Junior is exaggerating things to an absurd degree, but "straight up white genocide talk" is an even worse exaggeration.

I won't even dignify cultish word counting with a response.

I will.  I bet every regular poster here has posted sentences with 14 words in them.
