					<description><![CDATA[@ Tina &#062; &quot;Using this mentality, since we are associated with the US/North American, then we are all Americans, and we should quit the profiling/cubbyholing of our citizens. Hmm, &lt;b&gt;maybe I am on to something…&lt;/b&gt;&quot;

Works for me!
Teddy Roosevelt: &quot;America for Americans&quot;
Address to the Knights of Columbus 
New York City- October 12th, 1915

https://the-american-catholic.com/2019/10/12/october-12-1915-theodore-roosevelt-addresses-the-knights-of-columbus/
&lt;blockquote&gt;
“There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all.”

“This is just as true of the man who puts “native” before the hyphen as of the man who puts German or Irish or English or French before the hyphen.&lt;b&gt; Americanism is a matter of the spirit and of the soul. Our allegiance must be purely to the United States. We must unsparingly condemn any man who holds any other allegiance.&lt;/b&gt;”
“But if he is heartily and singly loyal to this Republic, then no matter where he was born, he is just as good an American as any one else.”

“The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English- Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian- Americans, or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans* of that nationality than with the other citizens of the American Republic.”

“The men who do not become Americans and nothing else are hyphenated Americans; and there ought to be no room for them in this country.&lt;b&gt; The man who calls himself an American citizen and who yet shows by his actions that he is primarily the citizen of a foreign land, plays a thoroughly mischievous part in the life of our body politic. &lt;/b&gt;He has no place here; and the sooner he returns to the land to which he feels his real heart-allegiance, the better it will be for every good American.”
&lt;/blockquote&gt;


*For context, Roosevelt was specifically addressing the German-American organizations that were supporting the agenda of Germany in World War I, and there is no doubt he would include every other continent in the same way.

A slightly different version of that speech is here.

					<description><![CDATA[I hate those terms “Hispanic” and “Latino”.  I won’t mark that down on forms (even though since I was born in a Latin American country, that is the “expectation”).  I speak Spanish fluently.  I reject the term.  I was brought up enjoying my roots-but loving America, and my family never used those terms to describe ourselves.  Anyone that is a near immigrant goes by the country they are from.  I am an American, born in Cuba.   I’ve yet to find a satisfactory definition for Latin or Hispanic.  In the colloquial, really they are a term for mixed heritage Mexicans (although most Mexicans from Mexico that I am friends with, when asked they will tell you what state they are from in Mexico—folks from Jalisco are very clear they are from Jalisco and not Districto Federal; etc)  Many people are not from NY or Miami are dumb struck when they meet a black Dominican, or someone from São Paulo who speaks Chinese as his first language.  What does a 3rd generation American of Mexican descent, that doesn’t speak Spanish, is an atheist, and thinks Cinco de Mayo is the Mexican 4th of July have to do with a Black Colombian, or a  Peruvian of Japanese descent, or an Argentinian of  Italian descent from Buenos Aires, or a Quechua from Bolivia??  Certainly not the food, religion, ethnicity, color, and likely not the language.  Latin America is too diverse in all aspects.
I suspect it is similarly annoying to those somehow associated with the Asian continent (or sort of anyway, as I don’t hear of Turks, nor Persians called Asians).  What does someone from Pakistan have in common with a Han Chinese, or a Laotian?  But they  are called Asians.  Really weird.  

Using this mentality, since we are associated with the US/North American, then we are all Americans, and we should quit  the profiling/cubbyholing of our citizens.  Hmm, maybe I am on to something…]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Folks like Sonmez  and her ilk have the maturity of spoiled rotten 5 year olds. She probably has a s**t fit if she finds that she has run out of cookies to accompany her glass of milk. 

Not that many years ago protestations emanating from the anal orifices of these spoiled brat morons would be totally ignored by everybody and anybody. 
Not any more. 

They are attention seekers; no more no less. For whatever reason they need to be the center of attention, to have everybody notice them; sort of like those who dress up as Goths - spiked hair and all (why do the feel the need to stand out?) 
I do not know what sort of personality disorder this is, but it certainly is a disorder. 

Let&#039;s just say she is mentally ill.

If you really  want to get these folks have their knickers twisted about their throats, totally ignore them. Make believe they do not exist. 
That will lead them to suicide .
One can only hope !!]]></description>
