Did anybody else catch a frightening statement from Dana Loesch?

This is from another speech but she repeated it today:

‘before that, Dana said we aren't white nationalists but we believe in Anglo Saxon values.’

That is such a fascist statement. The NRA is getting scary crazy.

I'll bet that at some point in her lineage, one of her ancestors wasn't exactly lily white...and if a DNA check was done, we'd find that Dana comes from a more diverse line then she'd be willing to admit!

I wonder if Northern Europe sent over their conservative wingnuts back in the day and became more liberal as a result.

Both the Anglo country (UK) and the Saxon country (Germany) have gotten very diverse through immigration and accepting refugees. Both countries also have lots of mixed marriages and multi-cultural children.

Germany has very few mass shootings. NRA wouldn't like their strict psychiatric exams required for gun permits.

Very scary, as Sessions used this exact terminology...

Anglo-Saxon heritage and Anglo-Saxon values... what the hell do they think they are saying?

I mean c'mon! Their white heritage. White values. It's so thinly veiled and I can't believe they are getting away with it in the real world...

When did “Anglo-Saxon values” become a thing? Is it because they know they can’t say “white values”? I’d be willing to bet a sizable sum that these people don’t even know what Anglo-Saxon even means, and they’d be horrified if they realized that the Anglo-Saxons were immigrants who took over a country! Hahaha

to Scandinavian, Mediterranean, Eastern European, etc.

A lot of "lesser" whites are going to be in for a very bad surprise after they deport the rest of us minorities.

Seriously, does anyone expect a lot of diversity at the NRA? They were uncharacteristically silent as an agent of government publicly executed a peaceful law abiding gun owner in front of his family because he looked like a different person who committed a crime. Because Philando Castile was black, and the NRA doesn't give two shits about minorities.

It could be funny if it turned into another situation like the white supremacist leader out west who was thrown out of his own community because he took a DNA test showing his ancestry wasn't as pure as he thought.

The only "anglo-saxon value" I can think of is being white. Was that supposed to sound reasonable? Was it supposed to disguise the fact they are racists? Because, if so, it did not work.

like how things used to be back when America was great enough to punish Irish and Italian and Eastern European immigrants.
