Is Anglo-Saxon really Germanic??

You probably eat Big Macs on a daily basis since you're Murican. French Canadians make meat pies more than anglos anyway.

I actually have never had a Big Mac!!

Well even the UK is not Scandinavia they are very different I think. The UK is more like the USA, Canada and Australia than Scandinavia.

I think us Anglo-Saxons are not as fond of Socialism on the scale of Scandinavia. We certainly have socialized programs but we rely more on flexible labor regulations and lower unemployment vs strong safety net for the unemployed.
What you yall think?

There is much documentation on WASP ideologies and economics/social values. They are generally pro-business/free-market + socially liberal/fiscally conservative. They do not espouse the nationalism and social conservatism that is rampant in republican ideology and rhetoric today. That is the result of the southern and bible belt infiltration of the party.

I am curious to my Anglo Saxon heritage. I assume it is technically Germanic but it is kind of not Germanic. Culturally Anglos are not that similar to the Germans and Scandinavians. Anglos do not follow such a socialized economic model and the customs are a bit different as we are not as efficient in running things. I assume genetically we are similar.

Please discuss.

The anglo-saxon language is germanic. No one is claiming anything else.

Yup. I am very fiscally conservative, socially liberal and I am a Protestant. I am not a fan of Socialism unless you have the money to pay for it and I believe you need a strong business environment to remain a healthy country and it help keep public debt low. I do not believe in showing off wealth and believe in modesty.
I do also think Taxes should have lower marginal rates but I believe in a progressive tax system. I do not believe in complete government ran healthcare I think competition is needed to help bolster incentive to make the system better and more efficient.

This is probably different than what Scandinavians believe, IDK.

Are my American Anglo-Saxon ways much different than continental Europe thinking??

I always got other things at McDonalds like the McChicken or just the French Fries. I am not a big meat eater. I do like their Milkshakes.

I think their are slight similarities but Anglos, Scandinavians and Germans are quite different in their ways of life.

Dick you know damn well us Anglos are arrogant fucks that think we can do no wrong, lol.

[JohnSmith]

I also think that African Americans are very much a part of the Anglo-Saxon world they have been in our country since the beginning basically. Many of them follow the same ideals and culture.

It is not an exclusive Republican things there are Blue Dog Union backed Democrats that follow much of this philosophy also.
