They would be horrified. I feel like I'm from another planet most of the time when I listen to the news. I'm fortunate to live in WV, where life is about 40 years behind the rest of the country. Where I live is pretty much a homogenous culture. So far we haven't had a large influx of immigrants.

The "over-mixing" of different cultures is one of the problems we face in the U.S. Not that one culture is necessarily better than another, but it is human nature to want to be with one's own culture. That is why blacks have not integrated even though they could if they wanted to. The "melting pot" that was America for so long was a melding of mostly European whites. They were the first settlers and the ones who came later were from the "mother" countries. Not so different. The melting pot is harder to achieve when the cultures are so different, so we end up with "diversity" which comes from the root "to divide", and it does divide. I don't know how to change human nature except through the love of God and the Blood of Jesus Christ. That is the only thing that can bring 'change".

I have often thought with so many cultures now and everyone wants ‘their’ language spoken, and do not want to meld into our country, that someday, this country will be so divided, like these foreign countries are and have been forever. They fight and kill each other all the time...I’m talking about the different sects, etc. in those foreign countries, that is what our country is going to turn into in years to come. See some of it today!

I frankly think Obama is the wrong man to be President and they have put him on a pedestal and treat him like a rock star. I think he’s cocky, conceited and not as smart as they say.....all I’ve seen him do is read speeches but if you get him at the microphone without notes or speeches, he seems lost. I think he’s got this country fooled, big time!The media have decided he is going to be our President. I do not like or respect most of the media these days.
