You must believe that America has become weak indeed if it can no longer
tolerate what has been the situation since its inception. I suspect that the
problem is more that we now have better communication in the country, and a
lot of folks who live in what were relatively isolated, English speaking,
farming communities are suddenly discovering that the rest of America is not
like that. And they don't like it.

What is actually happened is that the country has shifted from the notion of
personal responsibility to a deluded ideal of a Great Society in which nobody
need take any responsibility for his own actions or destiny.

Early immigrants adapted by learning the predominant language. Successful
immigrants today still do that. But lazy immigrants, and certain other groups
that have a vested interest in isolating these immigrants, refuse to
assimilate.
