I see a lot of traffic lately, online posts and those extraordinarily annoying forwarded emails,  about immigrants assimilating to our "Great Melting Pot".  The old Uncle Sam "I want you" poster with the new text  "This finger wasn't made to press 1 for English".  The latest, and the inspiration for this particular brain fart, a voice mail parody that says "Press 1 for English, Press 2 to disconnect until you learn to speak English".  The idea, I guess, being that if you're going to come to this country, you should learn the language.  Just like when us white folks first came here we learned to speak Lakota, Sioux, etc.  No - wait - that's right, we didn't.  We didn't assimilate to their society, we forced ours on them.  Since we kicked their asses, we could do whatever we wanted, we didn't have to assimilate.  OK, fair enough.  But guess what - nothings changed.  The immigrants coming here today have no intention of assimilating.  And they are kicking our asses.  Instead of Winchesters, Gatling guns, and cannons they're using hard work, dedication, education, and passion.  They're willing to work their asses off while the Native Americans (and I don't mean Indians, I mean people born here in the last 75 years but the irony is entertaining as hell isn't it?)  get fat and bitch about everything while doing nothing about anything; the biggest concerns in their lives being who will be the next American Idol and when will the Parliment of Whores give them free health care.  We're screwed folks.  There is no fight left in the average American, the country having evolved into a nation of politically correct (at least in public) candy asses who believe they're entitled to have everything for nothing.  I feel incredibly fortunate to have grown up in the most prosperous (decadently so) society ever created on earth.  But that's over.  We let it get away.  We're too stupid to install our own printer so we call customer service which is in India and then bitch that the person on the other end's English sucks.  Well, his English is better than your Hindi, and he can install a goddamn printer.  Cogitate on that one for a while.
