A "Duty" To Integrate
Great Britain, in the person of Tony Blair, is renouncing the multi-culti experiment.
What will be interesting is to see if all the years of indoctrination can be as easily overcome. As this op-ed points out, Britain -- like the U.S. -- has done a pretty good job at convincing its citizens (contrary to fact) that the country's history is primarily a shameful, rather than a proud, one.
Overrun with citizens who aren't just indifferent -- but actively hostile to -- their country, the English had better get the clue pretty fast. Although the U.S. is luckier, in that this country does a better job of absorbing other cultures, it -- like Britain -- had better quickly come to face facts. Specifically, when a country's people are taught for years and years that there's nothing about their homeland that's worth protecting, don't be surprised when no one's jumping to defend it after the country comes under siege from those who are hostile to all the liberties it's stood for.

It should be so obvious. There can only be three possibilities: 1. Join in by becoming as American as you can---learn the language, adopt our national traditions and values, support the country. 2. Go away. 3. Be as faithful to your origins as you want, just don't expect the country to bend over backwards to accomodate someone who has no desire to be American. And don't let your "culture" intrude on ours.
What "culture" would this be? The one of materialism, or the one of maintaining privilege for one race over all others at virtually any cost?
We read this xenophobic post thusly:
1) Shut up and be quiet and do as we say not as we do.
2) Go away we only wanted you for meagerly paid service to us as greater peoples and we complain about not wanting you here in that case.
3) Expect us to treat you like 3rd class citizens at best and we will always treat the thousands of years of history that your people have no matter how rich and diverse as something short of the perversity we have created for our own kind to wallow in.
That's close enough to the rant of Michael Richards for Us. Why not throw in you must have no other deities above materialism in there also? Pride goeth before the fall and you ought to take note of a little known fact out of Washington that the Saudi ambassador has resigned and he and his staff have fled the city.
That my friend is an obvious tip.
Qu'ul cuda praedex nihil!
I can just imagine what my immigrant grandparents would be saying. Their proudest posession was their Citizenship Papers!
