i have felt for some time that western society, the "good" and the "bad" nations, the rich and the poor, might possibly fall to the status of a third-world country due to internal strife from a "counter-cultural" revolution and some sort of clandestine international...for lack of a better word, agenda.
How would changing prayerbooks and such lower us to the status of the third world?


europe and the U.S. face their own crises, but not so much from a threat of invasion. unchecked immigration from arab states into europe and mexicans into the United States may be just as dangerous to western society as open warfare.

Quote:
in the U.S., there are approximately 30 million foreign born (non-european) people, 9-10 million of whom are in this country illegaly.
But don't Eurpean immigrants also come here illegally?

anti-catholicism has become almost a war cry in some circles and any opposition to them is disregarded as "blasphemy."
I have never heard anyone, even the hardcore atheists I know, calling a defense of Catholicism or any religion "Blasphemy".

it goes so far as to force churches to change hymals and prayer books to suit the needs and desires of a few who took offense;
Who forces it?

or of course, history and education are not to be spared either. throughout the country, the visages of many historical heroes: "stonewall" jackson, Robert E. Lee, Thomas Jefferson, and George Washington for example, are being removed (and in some cases irreperably damaged) so that museums and cities can be more "politically correct."
Do you have some examples of this occuring?

Our founding fathers, who you profess to admire, stated the opposite:
"We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal..."

lets be honest here that American culture is more su
perior than any culture on earth, so lets quit acting like everyone is equal to us in the US, when it is VERY obvious that they are not!
While I believe our government is superior in many ways, I do not believe that a culture is superior to another. Why is ours superior vince?

But the immigrants now, not all but a growing majority doesn’t want to learn English or be a part of America. They want to be in their little Chinas or Tokyo’s or Istanbul’s and just associate with their own kind, so to speak, instead of being a part of the wholeness of American culture.
There is no way one can survive in a country without eventually learning the language. And surely your italian ancestors had their own "Little Italy" that they lived in. Also, please define what you mean by "part of America".
