Uh, what has that have to do with this?

No logical arguement was possible with those people, and the same appears true here, so far.
Nice handle, BTW.
I am White, but am not a European-American. I am just an American, thank you. I will happily unite with all Americans against hyphenated Americans of whatever stripe. You are either American, or you're not. *No* one should get any preferential treatment: not Whites, Blacks, Reds, or Yellows -- no one.
Martin Luther King's dream was a good one: a dream in which skin color doesn't matter as far as character and ability. Any hyphenation of Americanism is wrong and should be fought wherever it rears its head. Take pride in your heritage, but all citizens should get it fixed in their heads that they are Americans first and foremost, and whatever else a very distant second.
Sadly, the realist in me tells me that what Pat is warning about may very well come true. We are being backed into a corner by our government and by other races. Eventually, there could be terrible reprecussions as a result.
Remember, everyone, two wrongs don't make a right. But also, we have the right to be ourselves and to be proud of that fact, whatever the color of our skin.

Yes. Go ask the Palestinians and the Jews about turnabout.

Answer: Zimbabwe.
Coming to your neighborhood, all too soon.
Uh, what has that have to do with this?
That you chose to blind yourself to this ongoing campaign within the government school system - endorsed by the government spending your tax dollars to re-write and/or erase knowledge of our Western heritage, is not ok. It's dangerous.
This is a war for the survival of our heritage. There is no other way the issue of third-world racism in American can be addressed. I am a Caucasian, and there are those who hate me for that. They met as a group to plot further attacks against me. They are promoters of race hatred within America. Their actions are un-American.
In Israel, one side bombs a resturaunt, the other side destroys people's homes and causes a lot of unpleasantness. Back and forward. Back and forward. Neverending.
That is what it has to do with this. I don't want the US to be caught up in a constant back-and-forth race war, even if it is merely a social/economical/political war and not a military one like in the Middle East.

As I said, many years ago, many English were ranting about how the new Irish, German, Polish, Italian, etc., immigrants were going to ruin this country.
BTW - I'm against all groups sucking at the government tit. Pat spent a good part of his life getting a government paycheck, just like our friend WJC.
It is my name. Thanks.
What are you talking about? Blinding myself? Did you not actually read what I said? I'm aware of what is going on in the public schools these days. What makes you think I'm blinding myself?
My point was that we should stop this sort of collaboration because it is, at its core, un-American to act the way these people are acting, not because we are Caucasians or due to some hypenated status we are supposed to have. Americans act for the good of the country and themselves as citizens of the country, not because they are members of some race.
It is the liberal agenda that we regard one another by race instead of by character and ability. That is what they want -- divide and conquer. The Black, Asian, and Hispanic Caucuses are all un-American in that they are based on race rather than political views.
Are you seeing where I'm going with this now? I think schools *should* emphasize Western Culture because it is what forms the basis for how this country operates, and it is the best culture the world has ever seen.

The government discriminates for approved groups not neccesarily race based. There is no need to throw race into this. The name of this article is, "No Whites need apply...". I'll bet a number of those hispanic caucus member are simply white liberals with spanish last names. This is the kind of stuff they can take to their constituants as an example of conservative rhetoric.
According to the census most hispanics consider themselves white. Well known conservative,Buchanan, is rejecting them as part of his race.
That has nothing to do with the message. It doesn't matter whether or not Pat was on the government teat. What matters is the message: is it true or not?
There are a lot more Mexicans coming into this country and not trying to learn English than there were Germans or Irish. Also, we share a border with Mexico, unlike Germany or Ireland. (Yes, that matters.)
