Yeah: Now everyone knows Snopes is a reliable source of information. smirk I take everything that socialist entity states with a grain of salt. At the very least their opinions are slanted to the left.

james: if what you claim here is in fact graham's thesis, then it is sad that one so respected as he, could be so ignorant of history and human nature...think back to the period in our history from the 1840's to the early twentieth century...

first it was the irish and the germans who came... then it was the scandinavians and the italians... and then the jews from russia and poland...escaping tyranny...looking for a better life...same as were my english and spanish ancestors, some of the first non asian immigrants to these shores...

nothing has changed, except for the origin of the latest wave of humanity finding its way here...they too will assimilate, as did those who came before them...they will become us...and that is a good thing...it is what makes america exceptional.

Here is a typical Libtard protest including labeling the NRA as "racist" so I know I'm in good company when I'm given a similar label.

Sorry for this but I thought that the first people to discover, explore and pioneer the American continent came over the land bridge from north east Asia during the last Ice Age. That would make all those that followed Immigrants.

Also just revelling in our new found Independence. Lagopus.....

Lagopus, first let me congratulate you and your country for the bold step you have chosen to take. It is my hope that it will enable your country and mine to re-establish ties that should always have remained close, as well as allow you to forge an even closer relationship to the US.

Second, we are all immigrants to North America, including the Asians who first arrived on our shores. To believe otherwise is to be mistaken. My question is always how long must one's ancestors lived here to be considered a North American. With a family tree that dates to prior to 1640 in NA, I don't think of myself as a product of immigration. I'm pretty sure the Protestants in Northern Ireland no longer think of themselves as Scottish.

Ed, you are close, IMHO but you are missing something important.

Disregarding the issue of whether the quote can properly be attributed to Graham, there is the serious concern that the fundamental uniting beliefs, that allowed America to become the remarkable melting pot that it has been, have been corrupted or ruined by elements of the political left, for whom the American experiment is better off destroyed in favour of socialist internationalism. The Irish, Germans, Scandinavians, Poles and Jews, dispite their mistrust of each other, had a unified belief in the value of "America" and how to realize it's advantages. Many think that uniting philosophy is gone.
