Rockatansky
"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 man's becoming in very fact 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, and this excludes the red flag, which symbolizes all wars against liberty and civilization, just as much as it excludes any foreign flag of a nation to which we are hostile...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."

-- Theodore Roosevelt 1907

    Timeless, isn't it? New immigrants for the most part do consider this "fascist".

    On the other hand, "globalization" wouldn't be so bad if everyone wished to conform with our ways rather that us conforming with ways of 3rd world.

    We could sure use Mr. Roosevelt now! Kick all the idiots waving Mexican flags out[}:)] And don't take them just to the border. Load them up on a barge and take them to the southernmost point in Mexico so the ba$tards can't cross again the next day[}:)][;)]
