Palin at Teaparty Convention, America needs good old fashioned divine intervention for security

Are you suggesting that global warming can cause shrinkage?

The heart of America is a cold, black, and dying organ clogged with the choleric, heart-attack inducing corporate capitalism brought to you by the Republican and Democratic parties.

It's only a matter of time before it goes completely into cardiac arrest.

It is time for me to call it a day, - I'll get to your comment later..

Not so optimistic about life are ya

Life and America are not mutually inclusive. If America dies, the populous will survive somehow.

LOL Invisible teleprompter in the sky.

See English translation above.

It is interesting to me to see the reactions I am getting because of posting a comment in Spanish. I won't bring up private messages to save face for those who sent me messages. But I wanted to say that I posted the Spanish comment to prove a point. That some people in this country have a real problem with seeing information being provided in many languages. As in "English" is the official language or "those Latinos need to learn English if they want to live in America."

I personally think that learning many languages is a great thing, and I encourage every Latino to learn English. But don't ever feel like you have to give up your culture to live in the land of the free.

This reminds me of the recent Eastwood film called Grand Torino. Eastwood had thought he was justified in his prejudices and learns an extremely valuable lesson about multi-culturalism that moves him to accept and respect his neighbors cultural values even leading him to lay down his life to defend their rights to the pursuit of happiness from the assimilating power of gang violence in this country.

Absolutely not, I agree with you 100% jubal. I think it is amazing how this country still has traditions all over the place in which different groups of people still maintain their traditional languages.

It is amazing to see Cajuns in Louisiana speak Cajun French, Amish in Pennsylvania speak Pennsylvania Dutch (which is actually an old German dialect) and other groups maintain their roots.

The US is a country of immigrants, and it is beautiful to see immigrants hold on to these roots after generations. I grew up here in the US, but I am proud to speak perfect Spanish with a Cuban accent like my family has done for many generations.

Yes indeed UrbanGypsy, assimilation has to be a two way street. Immigrants come to this country and have had a multitude of opportunities. We have had fat times and we have lean times in this country, but each new wave of immigration brought many distinct groups, some even formerly at odds with each other, but in America....the great Melting Pot as some have called her....people get a sense of being part of something more, something great; Democracy and Freedom are very addicting. Give people these things and they flourish.

What I am against is this idea that everyone has to become a stereotype just to cater to people's unwillingness to open up their horizons and experience different cultures. Yes you feel foolish sometimes, yes you feel lost, but that is a big part of the fun of newness, its not so comfortable when you are experiencing it at first, you get more out of it in reflection as time goes by. People shouldn't have to give up their traditions.

If everybody was a cookie cutter clone of each other, what happiness is there in that? BORING!!! I love going to China Town or Little Italy, I love going to Christopher Street or even Sturges, South Dakota. So what if people who are like minded or culturally linked to agglomerate. It creates little pockets of culture that can create tourism and movement within a country that leads to greater economic reward for everyone. Money gets spent on small businesses, which have always been the machinery of America since it began. Today's Multinational Behemoths are not dinosaurs but monsters that can both enthrall and terrorize us without fear of much punishment from political leaders. It is to these giants that homogenizing America is to their advantage. They try to beat us into submission using media, hijacking our cultures, packing and selling us our culture. I mean imagine buying Peruvian Blankets made in China and sold in the USA?

America has already gone too far into multicultural waters that there is no going back without inciting a huge upheaval. People aren't going to stand by and allow that to happen, for things to go backwards. We already had a tower of babel that separated and scattered us into isolated groups, now that we are all being reunited in the Melting Pot, we need to get out of our comfort zones and embrace a different culture. I promise you, it will be rewarding and will make your life richer, and I don't mean money, I mean in the sense that you will be a much wiser person.

Gosh, I certainly hope so.

(sarcasm off in three..two..one...)

Humanity is destined to destroy itself with politicians and money so just pull your seat back and watch it crumble.

F**k multi-cultural values, they are separatist and they are divisive to the melting pot of America, which is the essence of this nation's pupose and being, united in commonality. . .

You are bass ackwards there 2hellenwait, multicultural values are the melting pot. We need to respect and encompass the cultural values of others. Forcing everyone to be homogeneous runs contrary to individual freedom of religion and speech.

Bullshit, in the expansive growth of this nation, it was the blending and assimilation of the multi- cultural diverse ethnicities that created the heart and character of this nation, not separatist and divisive ethnic factions that are self contained satellite communities unto themselves...

So America is the Borg and every cultural distinctiveness is to be assimilated and made to service the White overlords? Give me a fucking break.

Every empire in history ruling with an iron hand has NOT been able to conquer and assimilate the indigenous cultures of the world. You need to get a clue about the reality of history my friends.

"F**k multi-cultural values, they are separatist and they are divisive to the melting pot of America, which is the essence of this nation's pupose and being, united in commonality. . ."

Congratulations! That was one one of the most self-contradicting statements ever made.
This country was founded on the values of citizens from all over the planet, once we stole it from the original occupants.

Fool.

"....multi- cultural diverse ethnicities that created the heart and character of this nation, not separatist and divisive ethnic factions that are self contained satellite communities unto themselves..."

Ever heard of China town, Little Italy, Greek town, the Quaker State, Little Cuba...
The US is and has always been comprised clusters of cultures where people gravitate toward those of their own ethnic origin.

There is no difference between a group of Koreans, Irishmen, Arabs or angry white guys. It's a cultural clique that is simple human nature. Where have you been the past 250 years?

Exactly. It is like a monoculture agricultural world devoid of biodiversity. Without biodiversity we all die.
