1. My screename is a cinematic reference.

2. I am of Polish and Italian ancestry, yet speak English as my first language.

3. Canadians are culturally "different" from those in the lower 48, no matter what their ancestry is. Personally, I think this is a good thing.

What are you so upset "aboot?" ;-)

...not upset. I’m trying to promote some thought. What is it that makes us American in the USA sense? It’s loyalty—allegiance to the USA. How long does it take people various cultures to get there?

I lived in a community that flew thousands of windsocks with Italian flag colors after five generations in our nation (not to mention other emphases of loyalty to the same ethnic group). There were no Italian names in the local National Guard company. Organized crime was more of a problem there than in most other communities.

Canadians of former colonial Canadian heritage are nearly assimilated when they land and do so fully within months. If your comments had something to do with a consideration of Frankophones from Canada, even they assimilate fully to US loyalty within a few months.

As for Polish people, those who came to the USA generations ago showed exclusive loyalty to the USA very quickly. Some of the more recent immigrants from Poland are having a harder time with that (due to domination of Poland by Russian culture for so long).

In the past, Mexicans became loyal fairly quickly, but we bore the nuisances of their language and/or culture for some time. Now, many of the newer ones are rather stubborn against assimilating—very expensive.

BTW, my first ancestor of the same surname landed in America during the 1600s. I’ve often been described by people of European heritage and loyalty as being a “Heinz 57.”

It would make a huge filesize and the car had to be upsized for this 600x350 .gif too - It’s only 47K

The animated version would lack the lettering on the door and also raises the tires from bottom level of the SW corner of the Mex Flag

I’ve got others I drawing up with variations

Yes, I thought about the ‘name’ not showing on the animated one after I posted.

Always cooking up other things!

I understand from the president's remarks today that we don't know what's best for the country.

So he says we should consult La Raza and Ted Kennedy, so we can correct our wrongheadedness.

Arrogance is not cute

Hostility is not cute

Calling you all dumb bigots who don’t want to do what American needs by Bush, Congress, and the MSM is not cute

-

Picking a fight with well over 200 million Americans is not smart

Rush Limbaugh came out strong, loud, and clear opposing the WH, Congress, MSM today on their crooked “Mexican Welfare Act”

They will try harder than ever to shut down talk radio and the internet now

Let me get this straight -

Is this the Kyl-Kennedy Bill?

Or is it the Bush-Soros-La Raza Bill?

Wow! For a second there, I was scratchin my head to see where you were comin from and whether I should respond to you negatively, or positively!! Sorry, but I was just a little slow on the up-take and after re-reading it, I feel much better about being pinged!!!

This medium sometime leaves a lot to be desired and can cause a "conclusion jumper" a lot of grief!!!

[Arrogance is not cute]

I hate arrogance in people. I also hate our “public servants attitude that only they know what’s best.
