The
United States of America is a very unique country; there is none other like us
in the world! I am not referring to
American Exceptionalism, though I believe in it. That is something that liberals have
arguments against. Even though their arguments
are based on their own inaccurate beliefs, I am going to talk about something
more concrete that even they cannot deny about the USA. I was going to say our country, but liberals
do not see the USA as “our country”.
They tend to put their faith in the United Nations and an “our planet” mentality.
The USA
is the only country on the planet that is not a race of people. Americans as an ethnic group do not
exist! I can hear liberals crying
already. There are the Native Americans,
indigenous peoples, or whatever the PC phrase of the weeks is for Indians. The only problem is that they forget there
were/are many different tribes/nations in North America. So it has to be insulting for the Sioux to be
grouped with the Apache or vice versus.
Liberals never think about how they insult people, because they are
blinded by their belief in what is right.
...but I digress.
So how
could a country that has no ethnic group of its own become the greatest power
on the face of the Earth? It is very
simple, the Melting Pot philosophy. The
USA accepted immigrants from all over the world. I have no doubt that in the USA every single
ethnic group on this planet has some representation in our blood. Yet we are not 5,000 plus different countries
in one land. We are one united people
(or rather one country divided between two interests, pro-American and
anti-American). All of these immigrants assimilated
to the culture that has developed and added their own mix to help create the
American experience. Within a few
generations the family line no longer thought of where their ancestors came from,
but considered themselves Americans first.
There is still ethnic pride, look at various communities and you will
see Irish pride, Italian pride, etc... but people thought of themselves as
Americans. The USA has been influenced by
all of these immigrants as well. Just
think of our love of Chinese food, it is Chinese American food really. They do not eat food like our Chinese food in
China! Think of Tex-Mex cuisine. We can also consider our music. Jazz and blues were founded by African
American culture in the South and that gave birth to rock and roll. Even rap has merged with rock and roll in
bands like Rage Against the Machine. The
point is that the melting pot helped to create this. Anyone that cooks will tell you that as you add
spice to the main course you change the taste, you create a new dish. This is our USA and why we are so different,
but still one people (one dish).
Now
multiculturalism creates a divide in our people (even greater than the
philosophical divide of liberal vs conservative). Multiculturalism is what happens when
politically correct morons get a hold of ethnic pride and screw it up! I am personally 13 races, half Greek plus 12
others. I am proud of my Greek heritage,
but I have no connection or loyalty to Greece.
My grandfather came over from Greece in the 1920s, my father was born
here, but the only Greek I speak is a few phrases and swear words (the important
stuff). Now according to
multiculturalism my loyalty should be to my Greek heritage over American
citizenship. I should be concerned how
Greek immigrants have been wronged over the centuries and demand that all these
dead ancestors be given justice. I
should expect to have the right to create a community here that resembles what
Greece is like. The problem with all of
this is not only that it is anti-American, but that it is the direct opposite
of what made the USA the greatest country in the world! If you really did not want to become an
American, then why come here in the first place? If you hate this place and think your “homeland”
is so much better, then go back! Fight
your battles to make your country a better place there and not here.
There
are other problems with multiculturalism.
Pundits believe that Muslims should be allowed to practice Islamic Sharia
law in their community. Sorry but
no! There is the US Constitution, which
says that state law cannot supersede federal law. States in turn say that local law does not
supersede state law. I am not aware of
all the ins and outs of Sharia law, but I will bet that much of it comes into conflict
with state and federal laws. Even the
oath of citizenship in the USA is under attacks. Do you realize that someone who wants to
become a citizen does not have to swear to take up arms against our
enemies? If someone is not willing to
take up arms against our enemies, I do not want them given citizenship! In countries where the liberal left is even
more entrenched than here (like Norway) the oath of citizenship is
optional. That is correct; a citizen to
be does not even have to swear an oath to their new country. Why is this such a big deal, a terrorist
(like the Boston bomber) would not care about the oath and not hesitate to
swear to it. The problem is that it does
not create a solid connection of the immigrant to the new homeland.
Multiculturalism
is an effort to create 5,000 different countries here in the USA. It is an effort to destroy us from
within. It will lead to greater violence
and not more tolerance. In the liberal
effort to create a utopia they forget human nature. People fear the other. That other is any immigrant that is different
and holds on to their culture fanatically, shunning the norm of society. Every successive wave of immigrants in the
USA has been persecuted to various degrees.
They have been used as cheap labor; they lived the lowest standard of
living. They were subject to racist attacks and given
irrational associations based on that bias.
This is not hate of the American people; this is the nature of the human
race. Sometimes people are persecuted
because they will not conform to the norms or society, other times it is an
effort by a group to reject them as citizens.
The
history of multiculturalism proves my fear of the goal to destroy the USA. It started in liberal controlled universities. Here in the USA we have a great system to
help the next generation become Americans (and add to our culture), it is
called public education. When children
are all thrown together in the mixing pot, they tend to adopt many of the
positive aspects of their peers (sometimes the negative as well). When these teens graduate high school they
saw themselves as Americans first and foremost, no matter how many generations
their family has been in this country.
Yet when those same children went to college they were reconnected to
their heritage and told that they did not have to conform or become
American. That America could and should
change to suit the culture their family came from. The result is that a lower percentage of
college graduates see themselves as Americans than those who graduate from high
school. Now liberals are trying to get
multiculturalism put into our public education system. It is indeed an effort to indoctrinate future
generations and destroy the USA.
I will
not continue to drone on for another 1000+ words. I will just say that we need to fight
multiculturalism. It is the complete
opposite of what made the USA great and it promotes racism and hate in our
country. I do not want a country where
my neighbor is the other, but one where we are all Americans!
