"As an American, I support the idea of pluralism"

You mean that as an American you support Al Gore's definition of e pluribus unum? Al thinks it means "out of one, many".

As an American, I much prefer to support the idea of "unumism" because the meaning of e pluribus unum is "out of many, one." Actually I think it's more accurate to say "one from many", but I'm not that much of a Latin scholar.

Anti Israel propaganda will not help in the Mideast peace process.

Neither will unwavering and unquestioning support of Israel, as history has clearly shown.

Well, that's the old trick here on Free Republic. When someone says something with which you disagree, label him a liberal.

Al Gore does not support a color-blind society. He supports discrimination based on ethnicity and ideology, aka affirmative action for democratic-voting ethnic blocs of voters.

True pluralism means a level playing field for everyone and no government discrimination based on ethnicity, which remains the foundation philosophy of modern-day America in spite of affirmative action.
