It really doesn't matter what our background is, it used to blend together into a distinct culture that honored our history and where those that gave their lives for it were respected and learned from. That taught our children the importance of the Constitution that insures their freedom, and God under whose principles it was formed.
Now it seems we are being Balkanized into sects where, thanks to congress and those with an agenda, new arrivals are taught to hate and be suspicious of anyone that doesn't go along with the PC ploy that acts as though we all arrived on Americas shores five minutes ago. Sure I respect my Irish and Cherokee heritage, but I have never thought of myself as anything but American or observing a culture outside of the American culture. New arrivals seem to be taught that their culture should be held onto like a drowning man holding onto a life ring and they should reject any attempt to blend into a common culture. The results might end up very divisive and lead to a dangerous ignorance on peoples part of just how important our history is to our future.
Big ditto bump!
There is an AMERICAN Culture, and immigrants ADD to our tapestry. Preserve and improve the American Culture!
