As a Proud German American I can definitely relate to your excellent post !
The "Patriotic America Citizens" of this nation must "Wake Up" before it becomes another Britian ... Insane Multi-Culturalism has without a doubt all but erased the vast greatness of these once proud and tremendously resolute British Isles !!!
The acute madness of so many of the Brit Career Politicians has truly been the cause of Englands undoing !!!
The concept of British "culture" as it is today is very much rooted in the imperial legacy of the late 19th century. That culture certainly exists but I wonder if it hinders Britain's ability to adapt to a post-imperial reality. Last night of the Proms is a good example of that "imperial" cultural hangover.
I think what Cameron was really targeting was Muslim extremism and I think he makes a good point. That is why he highlights the importance of Britain's liberal values in his speech. To quote ........
"Frankly, we need a lot less of the passive tolerance of recent years and much more active, muscular liberalism,"
(that one should get the neo-cons frothing at the mouth)
This thread is super funny. Folks take the words of the British GM, twist it, imply the twisted version has anything to do with here, and draw conclusions from their twisted version. He says "we failed to put a vision of a society they want to be a part of." What part of message do you fail to understand? Some of you behave as if he said something like assimilate or gtfo. That is not what he says.
Difference is, they all became Americans. Real Americans. Not so many do that anymore.
One is not an American if he or she came here to take advantage of the system.
My family's origins are in Norway. When they came here, they settled in Minnasota, the Dakotas and Wisconsin where most Scandanavians settled, but THEY CAME HERE TO BECOME AMERICANS.
People don't do that so much anymore. You're blind if you can't see that.
I believe he's right. We have made the same mistake. We have become a society of feel gooders who, on the surface, wants to make everybody happy. In reality, we have lost what we held most dear; unity as a whole, brought together under the words: "One nation, under God".
People used to come here wanting to be American. For a while now, people come here wanting to be Mexican, Chinese, or whatever, in America. That's not what diversity is. It's acknowedging and celebrating differences, but as a whole, we should still be one and we're not.
People don't want to be American anymore. They just want to live here.
What do you all think?
Apparently they weren't worried about it when they were expanding their empire around the world.

As usual the politicians are roaring ahead out there....miles behind the populace. Better late then never.
Oh bull****! Every square inch of this earth has been fought and bled over, won and lost. You make the Indians out to be some monolithic group when in reality they were diverse and fought each other quite often. We came, we fought them, and we won. Get over it. I shed not one tear over that.
Awesome, you fought, you won. Great, now You in the backseat getting taken over by some phantomised being in your head. You needs to get over it!.
And i shed not a drop of tear over that!
You make it out that caucaisian (europeans) have a monopoly on what is acceptable for them and what is for different people.
If your forefathers came here to conquer the indians, why cant anyone else do it without weapons without any process of annialating you?
We cant have one rule for one and another for the rest, can we?
