Our borders, our language and our culture are being assailed daily. Our culture most closely adheres to what your post references. It seems Americans over the last 40 years have been inculcated with the false notion that there is a moral equivalance inherent in all people. "We are just one big human family". That notion is what is causing our republic to fray at the edges and will ultimately cause our country to fracture and fall apart. Most people are actually embarased to discuss the fact that America has a culture that has risen above the rest of the world. We seem constantly to apologize for being an advanced nation. We are perhaps the only culture that openly discusses our warts. The trouble is, we are slowy being inculcated with the BS that our warts are more important than our beauty.
Maybe that is why you are saddened to hear what you heard today on the radio. We seem to trivialize everything because we have allowed ourselves to be led to believe that to challenge PC on the basis of those things that made our nation great, our history and what we have learned from it, we are somehow being disrespectful. Therefore many discussions of valid quandaries are reduced to gibberish such as the idea of DNA mapping of everyone.
It's only going to get worse until the grassroots begin to take control of our schools and begin to teach government, civics, and history to teach that we are an advanced civilization and that we should refuse to bastardize ourselves by knuckling under to this idea anyone from anywhere can make demands on our way of life without assimilating into it and understanding the true underpinings of it...that we are a worthwhile society and that our pluses far outweigh our minuses. We need to quit rolling in guilt and self flaggelation. If we don't start with our kids in our communities then all will be lost in the end. Math and science and languages are wothwhile education goals, but if we allow our culture to dissolve, those tools will mean nothing. DNA mapping is just the tip of the iceberg of our downfall.
Jeez, I'm in a dark mood.
