		<description><![CDATA[There are no &quot;native&quot; Americans. However, it is widely accepted that Europeans were the first inhabitants of North America after traveling over the Bering Strait.

Also, if the &quot;out of Africa&quot; theory is true how did these &quot;natives&quot; that you mention get here?

Identity politics and group politics are un-American but that is exactly how ethnic groups vote, in the interest of their identity.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You are culturally indoctrinated; but the sad truth is most of Latin American descent are not.  You are the exception that proves the rule.

Unlike the pan-European immigrations of the 19th century, todays immigrant from Mexico and points south are not American, not even Latino-American.  They are purveyors of the Latino Cultural Sphere.  Their nation is others like them.  

Part of this is because of their own determination to make it so, but mostly it is because of the attitude we now have towards such people.  In days of old, they would be culturally indoctrinated to become American, as your ancestors were.  Now, they are allowed to maintain their own separate cultural identity, separate from America, because of what is called &quot;multiculturalism&quot;.  

If you think this racist, consider; what did the various barbarian tribes do to the Roman Empire?  What did the Angles, Saxons and Jutes do to Celtic Britain?  What did the first European settlers do to the natives of North America?  (It always kills me when liberals bring out the Native American as justification, when what happened to them only proves the modern anti-immigration faction correct!)  Now Americans are suffering this same fate at the hands of Latinos.  Not because Latinos are bad or evil, but because Latinos are *promoting their own culture.*  They are doing what is in their culture&#039;s best interest.  Americans, sadly, are not.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Scott,

I wish I had kept a diary of every day on the street. I swear I&#039;ve forgotten more amazing crap than I can remember and write about. For a book of cop stories, read &lt;em&gt;Cops&lt;/em&gt; by Mark Baker. Good stuff.

Thanks for reading and commenting, and stay safe.

		<description><![CDATA[I just wanted to leave one more thing from something &lt;a href=&quot;http://smallestminority.blogspot.com/2008/09/american-exceptionalism.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;I posted in 2008&lt;/a&gt;:

&lt;i&gt;&quot;America is exceptional, Judy, because America is the combination of all the peoples of the world, many of whom made a conscious choice to become Americans, and many more are the immediate descendants of such people. Look at the last Olympic games. Review just some of the names of American medal winners: Liukin, Liezak, Torres, Vanderkaay, Zagunis, Kai, Rodriguez, Taurasi, O&#039;Reilly, Ah Mow-Santos, Haneef-Park, Nnamani. Those are all AMERICAN names....&quot;&lt;/i&gt;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[That is an amazing, beautifully written essay. Good thing I had never heard of it, or I would have felt like I was ripping Beste off :). 

One great thing about America is that a 50 year old white woman, 2 year old black kid, 90 year old Chinese guy, and 30 year old Arab woman all have one thing in common: they all look American.

Thanks for reading and commenting, and please come back to share your views.
