So – lets talk about the real issues instead.

OK But I still want to see the BC.

HP Melting pot, melting pot, melting pot. It is far superior to the salad bowl.
That the differences exist in the numbers they do is American Culture. Our foods,words and some celebrations have made it so. One can go to a St Patricks party or celebrate Kwanzaa (neither real but…) without denying ones status as an American.What one can’t do or at least shouldn’t is dance in the streets of New Jersey when the Twin Towers fell or have a gazillion canceled checks in your records for NORAID.

No problem Alfie – get a rest and rejoin the fray when you like. I am still interested in what it would be like. I am happy have people think of themselves as “American first” – and as you know I bristle when someone claims I am not a “real” American somehow.

But – I don’t want to lose Saint Patricks Day or Mardi Gras or Chinatown or any of that in an attempt to be monocultural.

Themadjewess requested….

Can you just refer to me as the Mad Jewess? And I wont call you a Commie etc…

Indeed – that sounds like a fair trade. I will call you by “Themadjewess” if you cease calling me a commie (and more importantly) a fascist.

See – who said we couldn’t agree on something.

I also apologize for calling you a birther – though I swear you owned that label in another response somewhere.

I do think that obsession over birth certificates is kinda silly. The only way this will get any traction if for Republicans to gain control of both houses (which is possible) and introduce articles of impeachment (which is unlikely considering the political backlash that would occur). I suspect mainline Reppublicans will be unlikely to do that – and of course it is very doubtful you would even get the votes to actually impeach and convict.

So – lets talk about the real issues instead.

HP The problem you and I have is a matter of perspective. The concept of American culture can’t be viewed via the euro centric lens.That academic point of view is a perversion of reality.
The USA is a mutt nation and being the mutts is our culture. Ironically those high brow euroweenies point at that and bemoan our complete lack of ,em>cultureThat’s the most I have to offer after along day.
The Melting Pot is not a crime. Sadly way too many predominantly liberal leaning folks have made it so. If we don’t melt we lose. That is what I think you see with the newer immigrant groups. Sadly to some degree through no fault of their own assimilation has been sidetracked thus causing the friction you speak of.
I’d gladly give you more even though I think it’s fruitless but I’m sssoooooo tired right now and merely babbling.

That is Aliskyite? What, then, are you birthers trying to do?

I am not a ‘birther’ that is a LABEL that the far left wing came up with to defame and argument.
I am like any other AMERICAN that wants to see Obamas Long Form Birth Certificate. Myself and about 80 others know the real story from Texas Darlins WordPress, (which you cannot get on without invitation now)
She and Polerick, who found out the first B.C. that the Daily KOS put out was a fraud. That is Fact. The 2nd one is a COLB. Obama has no records. While Obama has no records, Hillary is in court trying to PROVE that she is only eligible for SOS. McCain is STILL in court, because he was not born on the ground here in the USA.
The ONLY person that does not have to prove ANYTHING, is Obama.

Hippie, one of the signs of a TRUE Aliskyite is to ATTACK the person, and leave them POLARIZED.

I thought I already replied to this – but can’t find the reply.

Yes – I definitely remember posting this before…. because I ended with “I am sorry if you think I am trying to ridicule you – that is not my intent – besides you are doing a fine job of that all by yourself.”

Harsh – but I couldn’t resist.

Hippie, one of the signs of a TRUE Aliskyite is to ATTACK the person, and leave them POLARIZED. Fortunately, I am on to these little games that liberals play, since I have lived around Communists, Leninists, Marxists, Liberals, etc.. You call people a racist, and you think that will end a debate? Sorry, Charlie, ALL RACES ARE DIFFERENT, whether YOU like it or not. Blacks are dark brown to black in color, Chinese people have slanted eyes, white people are not white, they are pink, purple, blue, you name it.
What you did was;
Alinsky Rule # 13. Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.
5. “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon

Hippy, actually, you are trying to lump everyone in a category and make EVERYONE THE SAME, Well, I am not the same as you. I am FEMALE. Females are weaker than men as well. I do NOT have the same ideas or mindset as you do, so, your ‘way out’ of the debate, is that if you dont ‘get’ something, it is to ridicule the person.
I am not ridiculed, I don’t live in a Utopian world, I live in the REAL world.
