The relatives that live in New York still go to Italian markets and bakeries. My parents live in Tucson, and occasionally go to Italian restaurants, as do I.

I don't see a problem with people of any ethnicity continuing to enjoy and be proud of their cultural heritage.

What I have a problem with is recent immigrants who continue to have allegiance to the country from which they came, as opposed to becoming proud citizens of the United States.

Of course, this is largely the fault of the current liberal mindset that has entrenched itself in our schools and media which espouses multiculturism, and denies ALL our children the proper teaching of American history and civics.

Last night, I happened to be flipping channels, and there was a news program on PBS.

The topic was in reference to Aids in Africa, etc. A guest on the show, via satellite, projected/inadvertantly stated that vaccines and humanitarian aid needs to be sent to Africa. She then went on to say that a structure needed to be put into place to pull them out of the doldrums.

She then went onto talk about the "Global Economy", and how insinuated that we as Americans must think of ourselves in a global context, and not necessarily American-only, for we're living in this global economy.

If you ask me, it sounded like she was supporting wealth transfer via wealthy countries to poor countries. It flipped my top when she kept mentioning the "global economy" as justification for this.
