Actually, not that long ago the SAME question was raised to the Irish (who spent a lot of time funneling money to their friends back home to fight the perfidious British). A certain mayor of New York, currying favor with his Irish constituents, promised to "punch King George right in the nose" when he and Queen Elizabeth came over here to visit Roosevelt right before WWII. And you may remember a certain Father Coughlin . . . (although I read an interview with him in American Heritage magazine done when he was in his 80s and I'm willing to cut him some slack for being pure in motive but horribly mistaken)
And how can we forget the suspicion and ostracism with which the German citizens of the U.S. were treated during World War I (much more so than in WWII, when everybody was more worried about Japanese subs and saboteurs, and the Germans had been better assimilated). Remember "liberty cabbage"? Remember Frick's daughter who refused to allow German art in the Frick Museum? "Which side are you on?" was asked of Germans every day at that time, and they were reviled in the newspapers and in fiction.
My tag line seems particularly appropriate here. This guy is whining. He needs to grow up and take the long view of history. AS SOON AS his people assimilate, this problem will go away. Not before.
These 3 individuals are heros who served their country ----but then you have to contrast them with the 3,000 protesting the other day near the border for their welfare and government handout rights ----they're demanding no cuts in government spending, they're sure they're entitled to money they never earned.
"Protest organizers said the protest helped give attendees, especially children, a voice on the proposed budget cuts. Organizers said the cuts would reduce money for child care for low-income families and would reduce education programs and health insurance like CHIP.
"Someone needs to speak up for children's rights," said Rosa Sanchez, president of the Alliance for Parents and Providers. "The children certainly can't do this, so this march will give them a voice and a face to legislators."
