Who said Texas?

You're doing a great job of demonstrating/validating my original point relative to the thread.

I never said anything about race/skin color. What do you mean about forcing a "family" to live together? I never suggested "force" for anything. Is it or is it not a viable expectation and desirable for an assimilated society? As I said, I don't care what anyone chooses to practice within their own homes.

Let’s try to have a civil conversation here. No need to rant about the left or right. No need for name calling.

Why is there so much hate in the USA? What is causing it?
It all started with a man named Barry Soetoro.
