I went to the local hardware emporium this morning. It was more crowded than I’ve ever seen it (my wife said it’s because of the Day After Thanksgiving phenomenon). No exaggreration, 85% of the people in the store did not speak English. It was an ear-numbing gaggle of yackety-yack in who knows how many foreign languages. And rude? There is no name for the kind and extent of rudeness they displayed. Multiculturalism is national suicide, and political correctness is the cyanide capsule.

In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.

President Theodore Roosevelt 1919
