Yes, there have been subgroups, but there was a dominant culture that loved and respected America. You're trying to explain away the fact that many newcomers come here for economic reason and not for love of the country. You also seem to be blowing off the fact that many have allegiances to their homelands, etc., especially in a time that is praising multiculturalism. Trust me, smaller group differences within the dominant culture is not the same thing as having two entirely different cultures.

FreedomFriend. Thanks for the "PING". I'll have to "BUMP" for later. I'm going to run a few errands, but I do have alot to say pertaining to this issue. I'm very much concerned about "Illegal Immigration" as the next person. Question is after one who sends many faxes, makes dozens of calls, etc., etc. How do people like us address this issue? I will talk to you later.

If there is one more drop of blood on American soil it will be solely because our Government representatives did absolutely nothing to protect us. Our current "let every one in" immigration policy is destroying our culture, impacting our infrastructure (water supply, schools, roads, jobs, etc.), and ultimately may result in another attack against us. As far as I am concerned President Bush and every member of Congress will be responsible for the next attack given that they have done nothing to shut down our immigration free for all.

If Bush gives the Ranch to Fox...He will not get my vote. In face I will campain against him.

If Bush gives the Ranch to Fox...He will not get my vote. In face I will campain against him. Bush will need us more than he thinks in 2004. He may be doing very well in the polls at the moment, but the democrats supporting him now will return to their party. The next election is gonna be close, pandering to Fox is turning off the very same people he must have to win.

My opinion? Illegal immigration ought to be against the law.
To: The_Media_never_lie
It is against the law, it just isn't getting enforced like it should.
To: FreedomFriend
OK, all you have to do is refute one single point I made.
That is of course, if you read even ONE book.
To: Luis Gonzalez
What would you like me to refute?

You are completely ignoring everything I wrote in my original Post 230
In the past century and a half, millions of immigrants may have come to the U.S. more for economical reasons rather than political reasons but, for the most part, those immigrants did not hate America and it's institutions. Nowadays, however, the U.S.A. has opened it's doors wide open to millions of individuals that seek American economic benefits but hate America and it's values.
There is no problem with "diversity" as long as diversity means being a Creole-speaking Cajun, Black, Southern, Boston Irish, Pennsylvania Dutch, Hawaiian, Cubano or Heinz 57 as long as the common bond is a true love for America, the Constitution and the core values that made America great.
However, if "diversity" means that every America-hating ethnic group in the Planet can come in by the millions and set up housekeeping in the U.S., then, eventually, the philosophical character of America will change.
Once America loses the core values that made it great, America will die just as the Roman Republic died.
The point of my last post is that some on FreeRepublic seem to think there is only one “American” subculture when there has never been such an animal. On some threads, some Freepers delight in implying that those Freepers who might honor their Confederate ancestors are not “real Americans”. In their view, there is one and only one American sub-culture and that happens to be the one they belong to. Everyone else is less “American” than they are.
It is sad to say but, nowadays, the American subcultures that honor America may be in the minority and not the majority.
Southerners and Cuban Americans happen to be two of the current American sub-cultures that still love and respect America and have no problems saying so no matter how Politically Incorrect that may be to anybody else in the country.
When it comes to loving and respecting America, those two sub-cultures are stuck in the 1940’s and they wouldn’t have it any other way.
There are enough sub-cultures that actually hate America without having some Freepers throwing darts at the few remaining sub-cultures that still love America but that might be different from their own.

I live in overcrowded Northern Virginia. I feel like I'm the foreigner. I hate it here now and I hate the ones responsible for destroying what used to be a nice place to live. The local high school seemed American only two years ago -- now whites are the minority. mulsims are multiplying like cockroaches around here. My patience is wearing thin. We've been invaded. These people are nothing short of a plague. It's a disaster. The quality of life here declines daily. And we're going to have a nice little war with Iraq soon, so that young American guys like my son can get blown away to make room for more of these b @ $ t @ r d s pouring in here to demand services. The anger builds...
To: FreedomFriend
Anything at all really, I would just like to see some sort of knowledgeable post from you.
In reponse to my post 130, you wrote:
"The stuff you're espousing sounds exactly like the anti-American, anti-European crap that comes out of today's school textbooks. No wonder Western Civilization is falling."
By "spousing" I take it you meant that what I wrote was something other than basically historical facts.
So, then, tell where I went wrong on that post.
It couldn't possibly qualify as anti-colonial if it was simply the truth, would it?
To: EverOnward
Our own federal government is directly responsible for the invasion in Northern Virgina. Thank them..
To: Joe Hadenuf
Virginia too....

Awesome post!

P.S. These past presidential elections, we came to find out that a cousin of mine was considering voting for Al Gore.
His father called my father, and my Dad called me.
We had an "intervention" with cousin Enrique, there were five of us talking him out of his idiocy.
Of course, we don't know who he voted for, the voting booth is private, but he promised us he would vote GOP.

Que verguenza!
Oh, well. I guess there's a crazy aunt (or cousin) in every family.
