(this nation has a culture that will leave it secure from any such overreaching, and it is that culture that is our most reliable protection)

I am happy to see that you understand the importance of our culture...or actually that we have any culture at all. I'm not sure how you reconcile this critical idea with your lack of concern on how mass immigration is displacing the traditional American Culture but it's nice to know that you think our culture is a check on an over-reaching federal government. On that I agree. I just wonder what might happen when our culture is no longer as dominant as it once was.

I think our culture is way more resilient and attractive and effective of assimiliation than you do. I think its ideas are a universal magnet, or at least a magnet for those that chose to come here. That is the critical difference.
