[Chad C. Mulligan]

The melting pot analogy worked when immigrants were European and Judeo-Christian. Like alloying elements in steel, they made our country stronger and tougher.

Immigrants from third-world islamic pestholes are like contaminants that ruin the melt, making the resulting metal weak, porous and brittle.

[Machavelli]

Well stated. Read the Koran and understand!

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

In every melting pot, there is slag. The useless, undesireable, unyielding leftovers of the process of preparing a strong alloy. It MUST be removed and discarded and rejected before it is allowed to destroy the strength of the final product. Ilhan Omar is the perfect example. And yet, she is allowed to stay and is welcomed. Now we see the result.

[silent majority rising]

There is no ‘melting pot’ any longer.

[MeanWestTexan]

They abandoned the “melting pot” anology a month time ago.

30 years ago it became the “mosaic” made of tribes, to discourage integration by minorities.

The me!ting pot also worked when we insisted that immigrants assimilated into our culture and way of life. Once we stopped requiring assimilation; it was all over.

[drone]

Our politicians have turned the melting pot into a chamber pot.

[drwoof]

A perfect analogy; the intent is balkanization and erosion of social unity in order to dilute the power of the people. Can’t have uppity middle class folks running around all over the place, for crying out loud.

[Salman]

It’s not really a “melting pot” if they hate us and won’t assimilate.

[metmom]

The melting pot worked when immigrants assimilated. My grandparents who came over from the old country, were proud to be Americans.

These days, what with democrat race baiting, it doesn’t.

[mjp]

thanks to collectivism, and Marxism, the melting pot ideal, once a beacon of hope and unity, has been replaced by a society that thrives on division and exclusion, and group warfare.

[1Old Pro]

There is no melting, they coagulate.

The melting pot cooled off and solidified long ago. This country is now The Balkanized States of America.

For as long as I am in Congress, no one will take over the seas belonging to the nation of Somalia and the United States will not support others who seek to steal from us.”

If you are wondering what she is referring to here, several years ago a part of Somalia broke away and declared its independence as the Republic of Somaliland. Britain controlled it both before and after WWII. It functions as an independent nation, although no other nation reorganizes it.

There has been some talk of Somaliland granting a port to Ethiopia in exchange for recognition and, of course, money. Somalia (and Omar) are not happy about this.

In the 70s, my college History prof said it isn’t a melting pot but a tossed salad.

[SMARTY]

THAT b*&ch wouldn’t melt in ANY pot

[Gritty]

Putting turds in a punchbowl is not like putting ice in it. Ice melts and enhances the drink. Turds do not. They pollute and make it completely undrinkable.
