FYI the original immigrants to the US were the ones that Europe deemed undesirable. This was particularly true in the 1840s with the British dumping on the Irish, Italy dumping on the Sicilians, and Eastern Europe's treatment of the Jews. Guess what? They made it big. Why can't the Latinos?

America really used to be a great country.
But it is not the land of opportunity anymore.
You have sold yourself out to the elitist of the corporations.
It's very sad.
Less and less americans can even afford a college education.
This is terrible.
The american friends I have envy me to have such an superior primary education and that i could go to college without being thousands of dollars in debt after college.
A High School education in America has about the quality of a student finishing 8th grade in Germany.
The middle class which make this country great more and more evaporates.
This is horrible.

Luckily many of them aren't.
Too bad that the GOP has nothing new to offer as an alternative.

Yeah, all that great German education and you still can't figure out how to capitalize America or Americans... I mean you wouldn't be purposely leaving those capitalized are you?

Now getting back to the topic at hand which you completely ignored, please list some things that you like about America. List some positive things about America.

You have no room either. Killing the native people of your country and enslaving black people. You have even less room to talk. Shame on you. But fortunately the native people from mexico will take their continent back with an higher birthrate.

Ok, this is misinformation right here. First of all, "my ancestors" (I am of Spanish descent, including German) are the ones that killed off the natives in the west and occupied what is now the desert portion of the U.S., not his. 2nd, my ancestors stayed in their nice little houses in Andalucía and didn't kill anybody . 3rd, the present-day native Mexicans did not live in large numbers north of the present boundaries. This Aztlán BS is just that, BS. The only people that lived north of the present-day boundaries are Native Americans and the Spaniards

So you don't want to talk about things that took place 50 years ago in Germany but now you want to talk about things that took place 100 years ago in America?

I guess they don't teach much basic logic in Germany, based on the people that I've had to train there I know they don't teach much common sense or engineering that I would trust my dog's life to.

Why do you feel that liberal vent on black and Hispanic conservatives? Because the obvious racist republican party flaunts them around like they are some sort of object in order to prove a point. I never recalled anyone bad mouthing Colin Powell and the only reason that Condi is looked at with disdain is because she like many of the tokens turn their backs on the very same people that supported them in their rise to power.

Cain is an example of what I was referring to, he grew up during the most turbulent time in this country regarding racial issues, not to mention in one of the most volatile states (georgia), but yet never mentions the Jim Crow laws or the lynchings that were prevalent during that time. Clarence Thomas is another one, blacks (i.e the liberal media) find it hard to respect anyone that achieves a level of power and respect and then closes the door for others to follow

I'm Cajun, my ascestors were forced out of Nova Scotia and settled in South Louisiana because they had no choice. I haven't killed or enslaved anyone to my knowledge. I've also never gassed entire families.
