But we all were immigrants who came to this country. The Native Americans (politically correct) are the ones who were here 1st. We don’t do what they do. If it weren’t for change our country wouldn’t be where it is today. I see your point and a good one it is, but on the other hand I see the “Protective” view as well. It’s Politics. The beauty is we can always change and one day it may very well be called “Christmas Break if you don’t like it live with it”. Someone had to change it though. We are in a Democracy and majority rules. Or atleast that's the way it should be.
Good counterpoint. The key words to that are, "majority rules". As long as the PC left winngers are in the majority (which if swiftly coming in for along stay due to our genneration) being PC and making sure that no one is offended will always be there.
However I do agree that major things like the learning of english and the understanding that our country was founded on Christian beliefs should be widely excepted. I think it is great to never forget your roots (i.e. teaching your children polish or spanish and also family valuse of those countries and what not) but we should never forget US roots either. So the older generations (those who immigrated) should still pass on their ways while adapting to new ways and allowing their children and their children's children learn and grow in US traditions and history. That, I feel is, the true meaning of the melting pot we live in.
Because ultimatly that is what keeps our country great. Sure the melting of everyone's backgrounds will take a while (I mean compared to every where else we are still a very young country) but one day they will all fall into place and we will finally have a true solid identity of our own. As of right now, it's not that solid, it's kind of a melted image if you will. ;)
Of course we were all immigrants. Did you read the article or did you just decided to post a random comment that didnt mean anything? Good job.. I think this Politically correct bullshit needs to be revised. NO one really paid much attention did they.
I don't think the question here is, "No one paid much attention did they?" as so much "Are you willing to hear another person's view and have an arugement about this?". You have brought a very good topic to discuss amongts friends. So far, I have only seen one opposing view and you seemed to have snapped at him for it.
For that snap, I'm a bit shocked to see. What Christian has said is a valid point. Not that "We are all immigrants" statment (I think that was just a re-statement, but the point about even we immigrated and changed the local inhabbitants ways of life. How did they do that? Becuase the majority ruled. At that time our founding father's, were the majority. However, as you see, over time (especially in a demorcocy) the majority changes. Right now the majority is PC Left Wing Democrats. That is just how this all swings.
Remember I never disagreed with you either. In fact I kind of proposed a wonderful situation where both ways of life can coexist, but you can't make 'em all happy.
