Do you know how ridiculous that statement is? You are speaking of quantifying American-ness. One of my ancestors was on the Mayflower, and my grandfather was born in Boston. And yet I am a "Third World Immigrant". My husband and I have have many years of ivy league education, I work in a field that is always in great need of well-educated, experienced people, such as myself. My home language is English. I have always paid taxes here, never been on unemployment, my children were born here. I am assuming you were speaking of some uneducated native waiting for a hand-out or of people like me? Generalizations are very dangerous, and I would say you are poorly informed and extremely prejudiced.

If I responded to every point of every post I would be here all night, but the bold sentence is the perfect example of why the U.S., Canada, the European nations, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa (the West) are going down the tubes.
I just asked a simple question.....


I ask you who you believe created these Not White people....what's the matter? Can't figure it out???

Why are you so afraid/reluctant to answer that question?

Ah. So you don't believe that the founding principles of the US were good ideas?

It depends what you mean by "minorities".

As for your last sentence, it's a bit overdramatic. I'm a white straight male, but I'm not Anglo-Saxon, I was raised Catholic (although adhere to a Protestant denomination now), and I'm pretty much a moderate politically.
I just spotted this:



""""but I'm not Anglo-Saxon, I was raised Catholic """"



OH MY! LOLOLOLOL!!!!!

America was created by Europeans. And Europeans have made up most of the population of this nation ever since. If you don't like the fact that this country has customs based on Western Civilization and Christianity, then please leave. Don't stay here and make things miserable for the majority population.

Now I am just waiting for someone to say "well the Native Americans were here first". What I have to say to that in response is that this continent was wildnerness when they lived here. Immigrants didn't have any interest in coming here until Europeans carved a great nation out of an uncivilized continent. So your argument will have no validity to this topic.
Happy Holidays to you and your families!

Where does it say that the founding fathers wanted Third World people to take over America? Why were there so many laws immediately put in place saying that only free , white, men, could own land? Why were our immigration laws designed for so long to keep this country 90% European? It wasn't until 1965, when the demented liberals took over, that we threw our hands up in the air and said, "anybody can be an American".

You must not know your history.

I could be mistaken, but I thought this country was founded on immigration.

But if you're so keen to go back to the racist days of only white men having rights, that's your perogative.

Thank you, ReluctantGardenStater, and others, for your intelligent posts supporting my argument.

I would like to ask the liberals a question. Why is it only white countries that are supposed to accept multiculturalism? Why are white countries the only countries that must inflict self genocide on their populations?
