I myself do not want an AMERICA that is going to take womens rights away we have come a long way,I have to say no to islam, I dont want my grandaughter to walk behind any man, I dont want her being treated as a goat and like most AMERICAN WOMEN I WILL FIGHT FOR HER RIGHTS to be on equal footings with any man, and I would want her to remember her dad as a loving parent and not her master, the same goes for her husband and children, this is not allowed in the muslim culture only the men are entitled to any pleasure, old muhammed had only hiself in mind when he wrote the dreaded koran.

America was once considered a great Melting Pot of different people and cultures.

It seems that these days we are not one big melting pot, but rather a society with little and big pots of different cultures simmering side by side, never to be melded into a homogenous society of AMERICANS.

"only if a person was born white and though his effort and diligence became black."

Isn't what what Bill Clinton did?

There's an indisputable positive relationship between liberty and standards of living.

Absolutely. And that same positive relationship exists between low taxation and higher standards of living (or wealth). The greater the personal liberty and freedom, the lower the tax burden, and therefore the greater the wealth of a nation and individuals. The phenomenon is obvious to any honest observer.

Yep...we are witnessing the balkanization of the US as a result of neo-liberalism.

The only "women's right" these people understand is the right to kill her own children if they are inconvenient.

[Helms]

No "guilt", either white or black for him.

The biggest absurdity in multiculturalism is that white/european = not diverse. Anyone who has been around Europe can testify to the diversity of European peoples. But here I am falling into the trap that diversity actually makes a difference.

[PersonalLiberties]

It makes a difference today because those same liberals who label other racists or eurocentric have created a game of minority/group rights wins.

Divide and conquer --- united we stand.
