Every time that I hear "our diversity is our strength," or variations of that phrase, I get a real serious gag reflex. I would seriously suggest that being an advocate for diversity or multiculturalism uber alles should be a capital offense, with a mandatory minimum of life without parole.

I would even suggest that, as has been stated before many times by some really successful politicians, if you are a hyphenated American, you are not a complete, 100 percent American. Heck, I even resent the question on all kinds of forms that ask for your race. I just want to say American and the rest is none of your business.

For the life of me, I can not understand why Bush wants to divide Americans by tolerating a permanent underclass that does not want, and absolutely will not assimilate. They won't adopt the English language. They DEMAND that the government deal with them in their old or non-English language. If you don't read and speak English, then you should not vote. If you don't want to be an American then don't come here. If you want to demonstrate carrying the flag of another country, then go back to that country.

My attitude has nothing to do with any race or any heritage. I long ago adopted the idea that Americans come in white, black, brown, and red hues, that Americans have cultural ties to virtually every country in the world. Heaven knows that all four roots of my ancestry came to what is now America from other parts of the world. I have enjoyed researching my genealogy for three decades now. Make no mistake, however, I am an American -- 100 percent.

If we can somehow flush all the multiculturalists and one worlders out of our system, we can become the great country that we once were. It cannot come soon enough for me.
