Excellent article.

I would have added a paragraph on the founding of America, and what a shining star this Country has been in the history of the world: The first and only country founded on the idea that an individual has rights which neither the government nor his neighbors can violate with impunity.

Every school child should have to memorize the first part of the Declaration of Independence.

Wow. I didn't know Ben Stein is a conservative. Right on the money.

Forbes Magazine is unabashedly anti-protectionist, pro-China, & wants to greatly increase immigration into the US. Their current issue has an editorial reiterating that position. I don't think they're qualified to set themselves up as "saviours of America" when so many engineers & computer people are out of work due to all the H-1Bs.

All that comes down to one word...multiculturalism.

Every culture has had its Kings and every culture has had its slaves. Every culture has its customs, beliefs and core values. But for multiculturism to exist there must be mutual respect...BOTH WAYS.

Otherwise, when forced to co-exist, it's like holding two cats up face-to-face...chances are, they're gonna fight.

Taking from one group and giving it to another is not going to promote multiculturism...it only creates resentment, greed, and crime...and chances are, they're gonna fight.

Again, policies pushed by liberals never take the "human nature" angle into account, therefore will never succeed for very long.
