No, not in the Mayberry/Hooterville I live in (rural Western PA). Demographics are still pretty much the same for the past 30 years. Other than a loss of population, and a Wal-Mart super center opening outside of town, it could be the late 70's.

When I go back home to the Reading area (Berks County, PA), where I was raised, however, THAT is a different story. It's gone from predominantly Pennsylvania Dutch to Spanish. You can't tell what country you're in when you go to the city of Reading. And with the escalating crime rate, we avoid it as much as possible when we visit.

What make countries/cultures/societies unique is their foundation.
Would France still seem French if it was full of a bunch of Chinese, with few original French people left?
Or visa versa?


So to play PC games and pretend that significant changes to American culture such as language, customs, values, and the influx of people who do not assimilate into our culture is somehow xenophobic/racist, is typical leftist propaganda.

Go all the way back to Marbury v Madison. The "Madison" that was a Founder.

Fair enough. Here's the thing: a lot of us white Americans--myself for instance--like the newcomers.
Terrorists and gangsters excepted, I like foreigners much more than I like average other white Americans. That puts your type in a bit of a pickle, doesn't it?

The media tries to portray (R's) as having gone far to the right, but it is a fallacy. The (R's) are merely trying to push back against how far left the liberals like Obama & Hillary have taken us. That is not going hard right, rather it is trying to regain the ground lost to the leftists/socialists/communists.

Who controls Both Houses of Congress? What steps have they taken to change things back towards the direction you feel we should be pointing?

A fact we are all going to have to live with, or find someplace to emigrate to (then the tables will be turned, lol): By 2050, the white population in America will no longer be dominant (i.e., will be a minority, 47%).

We have Jeb running for president and has been married to his wife for 4 decades yet he speaks Spanish to his wife in his own home.. How much will Bush bend to Mexicans? We will wonder what country we are in if he got into the whitehouse.

Allow me to school you, son.

The GOP controls:

1. senate
2. house
3. supreme court
4. 31 state governors
5. vast majority of state legislatures

Those darn *******s just keep beating them, anyway. They sure are powerful! Better just step aside and get out of the way.

Resistance is futile.
