We have to look back and accept that the end of white, Christian, male privilege is over.

You (and your ideology) are the reason that Obama won, and that the USA is in its sunset years. There is no such thing as "white, Christian, male privilege" and there never was. Success has always been possible for those who pursue the American dream, regardless of race, color, or creed (even during the depths of slavery some black men and women achieved great things!).

What has made America great is its CULTURE. Period. Unlike most countries, where you are a citizen because of your birth (see Japan), America is open to all. It is an IDEA, not a place... and idea open to anyone who wishes to live by it.

But you and your ilk are dissatisfied with the responsibilities that come with that idea. You want to pick and choose what part of American culture is important. That's just as stupid as trying to build a pyramid from the top down. When you tear down the base of the culture, only a fool still expects the structure to still stand.

America was built on Judeo-Christian ideals and work-ethic (which is why our increasingly secular society is slouching into poverty and economic ruin). You want to excise that, yet still enjoy the benefits of that culture. You are a fool.
