Andrew, please do realize that ours is a country of immigrants, children of immigrants, grandchildren of immigrants, etc. Therefore, despite the wishes of the power-hungry WASPs and their poorer, ignorant, and, sometimes bloodthirsty brethren – the rednecks – that this country is to be a ‘melting pot,’ it remains, healthily, a ‘salad bowl’ or ‘smorgasbord table,’ where we’re together as Americans, yet we remember our traditions because some of us still keep in touch with our cousins and other distant relatives in the ‘Old Countries.’ That, my friend is good for America because we are the bridges between the U.S. and the world; we are little ambassadors. We also tend to be more open-minded and educated than you inbred lot of chauvinists who have, like Dubya, created the animosity that the world has for America. I am a Polish-American and proud of who I am and what my people contributed to America. Also, I, unlike you, do not have issues with any other person because of his/her nationality or ethnicity because all cultures are unique and beautiful. Would you rather have a garden full of only one type of flower? Or, wouldn’t you say that a variety of flowers is what makes the eyes and the soul happy? Think about it! Besides hyphenated Americans are not disloyal Americans because what comes before the hyphen does not diminish or obscure ‘American’ – it only enhances it. As for treason, even ‘real Americans’ can be traitors because of a personal character flaw that is only their own. Peace and Best Regards!!! Enjoy the diversity of this country!
