Ummm, the "American Melting Pot" is not a new idea. The idea that as everybody comes into the country they add their own experiences and cultural identity to our common culture is the relative strength of our culture.

What the liberals have been pushing for several decades now is the "American Stew" idea, where everybody comes in and keeps their own culture and identity seperate from the common culture.

Sorry if you find the idea of a common culture built from the various cultures of our people so offensive. Think about that next time you have lasagna, or a burrito, or a bratwurst, or sesame chicken, or a gyro, or... Well, you get my point I hope. We have a common culture that has a lot of variation within it. Liberals wish for us to have a lot of independant cultures. The term "Balkanization" comes to mind.

But that's ok, anyone who disagrees with you earns your disdain. Whether they are friends with Ted Kennedy or point out a foolish statement of yours on the internet. Have fun!

Yes -- in theory incrementally the concept works....but NOT in blocs of hundreds of thousands of today's illegal AND legal immigrant who:

Carve out towns and counties in order to establish mini-"old countries"; Refuse to learn English; refuse to assimilate; reject the learning and respecting and history of America and her standing traditions; Understand the sacrifice in the name of freedom made by prior generations; and who believe America owes them a free ride.

IOW, for most of today's immigrants, America is nothing but a borderless economic vessel -- not a sovereign nation to be blended with as proud and true Americans.
