Somethings should be done in private.

To add, if we were to emigrate to another country, we would be expected to assimilate into their culture, and learn their language. I'd expect nothing less. It's their "house" and their rules, so why should they have to cater to me?

The objective of the "one worlders" is to allow the small economic elite to control the entire economy for their benefit and our cost. They have been pushing this idea for centuries and the only thing that has kept them from their universal dream is competing empires did not want to share. Well the competitors are increasingly being bought by the "one worlders" and will cease to maintain their differences. Eventually we will have one (economic) world dominated by investors and free of pesky nationalism and border restrictions.

Why Greg, that sounds a bit New World Order-ish.

Medicare has not been around for very long. 1965 is really not that long ago. I have not paid into it my whole life, and I'm a long way from having grandkids. 48 years old and a grannie... Ya, I can see it.


Sure your not thinking Social Security.

It's been a slow determined march over time.
Incremental steps so small no one notices at first.
Then a few see it and speak out. We got names for them..racism, discrimination, hatred of the poor, paranoid, etc.
Then a few more see it but by now the majority are dependent on government.
And the majority will keep those in power that promise them free stuff.
And they don't care what else happens or what the government does.
And the government can say whatever they want.
As long as the free stuff continues.
While many look to Europe as a model, I look to the South American countries because that's what I think we're morphing into. That's where the majority of our immigrants are coming from. That is the life they know and replicate here. And they tend not to care too much about politics.

Between Obamacare and amnesty and the resettlement of 1.8 ME refugees I think our country is going to undergo more drastic changes in the next 5-10 years.
funny..when more people start waking up the more they see such nonsense is said only to use fear and intimidation to silence any dissent, that is what you have to love about the Statist left, they can ignore reality, but they cannot ignore the consequences of ignoring reality.

this will get better in this nation, but they will get worst before then...this our nation, our culture, it exist no where else, if it dies here it will be forever lost.

we will not allow this to happen.


Secure our borders, no amnesty, no compromise,

'Narrow view of American Culture" what believing that When men cannot communicate their thoughts to each other, simply because of difference of language, all the similarity of their common human nature is of no avail to unite them in fellowship?

That Language is perhaps the strongest, perhaps the most enduring link which unites men? that is Narrow minded view?

how can the immigrant participate fully in the American Civil Society?
They Cant.
