What does that have to do with anything?!? I'm 3rd generation Hispanic and love my country. What are you trying to say.......people coming from non-"Anglo" countries can't assimilate and become loyal Americans? What a crock, Brad. America ain't going anywhere. August is totally right. |
What I'm saying is that America's diversity (Not melting pot) is going to change the face of America. We are going to be just like europe but it will take a while longer because of the big pond. We are nowhere near the America of fifty years ago.
Japan and Middle Eastern companies own more of America than Americans do. High tech jobs are being filled by cheap labor foreigners. American brains are going to overseas companies. American companies are moving overseas in droves. Leagalize the illegals from Mexico and they won't be satisfied picking fruit they will go for other jobs that pay decent so we are still going to get illegals anyway while corporations slash salaries to take advantage of cheap labor.
No, our days of red, white and blue are numbered and with that will come idealogical differences and more terrorism etc.
Am I paranoid? Yes, I think I have reason to be. |
Red white and blue do not refer to skin color nor has the word "American" ever meant a person of any particular ethnic origin. Yes we are not the America of 50 years ago but neither was the America of 50 years ago the same as the America of 100 years ago, or 150, or 200
None of the things you mention are new to this country and I disagree that we will be like Europe, ever. Our geographical position means there are different ethnic groups involved and in different proportions than they are in Europe and, imo, just as importantly we have different national histories. Ethnic enclaves have never lasted very long in this country, not the way they have in Europe, one reason is that we've never had a feudal system that had hundreds of years to define itself. The second is our mobility. It's always been easy for Americans to pack up and move thousands of miles without ever leaving the nation. Try that in Europe.
BTW FWIW, I do not have a George Bush portrait on my wall but I do know the guy who did his Dads official presidential painting, does that make me who you're implying I am?
And Sea Demon, right on man.
