What is American culture BTW? I am still trying to figure that out.

Keep figuring, when you get an idea, maybe we can compare.

If say it's freedom,economic opportunity and free exchange of ideas (really what's in the FR charter) then I'm sure someone would disagree but that's what I was taught. Popular culture is another thing. I don't know if I want Brittney Spears and 50Cent being the symbol of America around the world.

"What is American culture BTW?"

A better question would be: What is Mexican culture?

For the record: By American culture I don't mean the neo-sodomite refuse projected by the media. I am talking about our Judeo-Christian values, the Second Amendment, freedom of speech, economic freedoms, hatred of tyranny, our hard-working spirit... I can go on.

I do think we have our own culture. It's shaped by our Christian beliefs and yes by Protestant-Anglo-Saxon work ethic. Pat's ancestors were CAtholic but they managed to fit in with this work ethic. His main point in this article makes sense but it gets clouded when he tries to make it out to be a color issue. If he had said America no longer united, English-speaking, Western culture, he'd be on the ball. It's not only WHAT you say but how you say it that counts
