The melting pot, by which people from other lands migrate to America and function as one people, is American. "Multiculturalism" is a trumped-up, fraud of an agenda by which people that immigrate here retain their language, culture and even force unwanted changes on native Americans.
One of the main Shibboleths of multculturalist nonsense is that no one culture is better than any other, but of course one is worse than any other - American.

Multiculturalism has never been a part of the fabric or strength of the United States.
Instead, assimilation is our strength, or at least has been. Many people from all over the world becomming one culture...American.
That used to be our strength, but it is in grave danger as new immigrants enter the country but want to hold onto their language and culture...instead of being one people in one country, they want to be separate but a part of. This will never work.
If we accept it, we are finished as the "great melting pot" of the world.

It is so amusing to me to watch the libs take parts of statements out of an entire dialog and use that as so much fodder for their weak little guns. geeez, bfrancis! Yeah, debate is fine, criticism of the President is fine, and
not standing by the President, right or wrong, is fine. But, when you take that protest to the streets dragging the good name of the military with you and aiding and abetting the enemy via those actions, that's just wrong. It may be constitutionally protected, but, its still wrong. I don't know if you're old enough to remember the late 60's and early 70's, but every veteran of that era felt the utter disdain and disgust from a very large part of the country who's only sight into the war was on the network news via people like Cronkite, who not only showed the horrific pictures of war nearly real-time (by the way, war by definition is friggin horrific), but, he also covered as many anti-war protests as possible. Take all of that now and to it real-time photos via CNN that every one of our enemies around the world can also watch, and you are courting a disaster of immense proportions. Just remember, BF, exercising every constitutional right to its max, while legal and protected, can sometimes have dire consequences. Not for you, but for Americans, military and civilian, living/working/fighting overseas. A little discretion and common sense could work wonders.
