I don't disagree with any of that, devil is in the details as always, hard to say what culture is. But everyone has one, and it is not required that we be able to define it verbally in order to have one, to quote the loving spoonful, a rock group from the distant past.."It is like trying to tell a stranger about rock and roll.."

I guess someone would know American culture when they find it. It does mean different things to different people. There are essential things like what's in the founding documents that define what the USA is. I wish that politicians would take everyone's concerns seriously. If they did their job this thread would not be almost 700 posts long. Instead I just notice a stream of liberal fear mongering articles designed to get such a response out of people. Liberals are NOT having these discussions I guarantee you, and to me Pat just came off as doing the same but other side of the coin. Sometimes I find these debates and spirited disputes useful and other times not because we're not the one's in charge. Oh well.
