Now I know I should have voted "Libertarian" or whatever it's called. The "Conservatives" on this thread want to destroy all of the traditions that have made America great. Tell you what, you go keeping on pumping out your McGovernick children, and we'll see whether your anti-education progeny succeed over those with a wider view.

It seems like everyone here wants to *change* the way our country works. Like everyone thinks America is a *bad* place. So far the only intelligent response of dozens I've gotten is from a person concerned about assimilation, which I support versus multiculturalism. It just needs to be understood that understood that assimilation takes two full generations -- just as it did for the Irish.

You go ahead and try *change* our great country. You reactionaries are clearly not worth my time. America will roll right over you without any effort on my part. You are right. The low teen birth-rate *is* a threat to you.

Why do you keep posting that sentiment to me?

How many times do I have to say it:

WE HAVE ENOUGH PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY.

Does that sound like I bemoan low birth-rates of any kind?

OK.

America had a tradition of overwhelmingly European Immigration.

So if we must have immigration, I agree: Let's restore America's tradition of European immigration.

The Irish have assimilated? When was that?
