Because they are their culture these days.

I had a conversation with a very pretty Lebanese immigrant girl at one of my banks yesterday. I talked about how I had been there in the 80s and what not.

I could tell she was Muslim by her demeanor and slightly traditional clothing....black and beaded...but not super conservative dress.

Anyhow, I asked her what part of Lebanon? She replied Southern part. I knew that except for some areas near the coast that most of the Christians had been run out of there. I assumed she was Shia so I asked her. She replied that indeed she was Shia and "proudly so" and her pretty eyes took on a strong glare. Then she went on to rail about Israel, Jews, Lebanese Christians and even Lebanese Sunnis a bit.

She is a US citizen. Been here 16 years.

Do you think she is assimilated? Speaks English perfect, French and Arabic.

Do we want millions and millions of these folks here.

They are not going to just drop their culture cause it's at war with us.

A damn shame. And she was very pretty....maybe an 8.5

Folks are what they are unless they turn their backs on their own which is rare.

History is replete with this.

I am still very Scots-Irish Prod after over 270 years here.

We are bringing in the most massive immigration in history by far and involving cultural, racial, ethnic and religious factors that naive idealistic people think are inconsequential.

Those folks don't read much and think too much with their hearts.

Hell NO, I don't want her here. Obviously, she belongs back in her beloved Lebanon, so she can continue railing about Israel, Jews and Christians.

But, more important to me, dear wardaddy,...lol.. just how many banks do you own? :)

That was sort of a chilling chat you had there in the bank ... . but not surprising.

Coincidentally, I'm acquainted with a Lebanese Christian lady. She was born in Connecticut but has many relatives in Lebanon and travels there every two years. She's politically ultra conservative, but doesn't care about the illegal alien issue here in L.A. or anywhere in the U.S. for that matter. So, I think you're spot on when it comes to allegiances.

Have a look at my profile, scroll down. My pedigree is pretty good, with ancestors in this land since @ 1732. I'm a farmer at heart due to my Pennsylvania Dutch heritage, and a fierce fighter, yet spiritual, due to my Irish heritage. I love this land, my country, my home sweet home. But L.A. doesn't look anything like it.
