I understand you when you refer to Vietnam, Algeria, Palestine, Lebanon, Afganistan, but I am still wondering why do you mention Yugoslavia?
Did Tito defeat the Germans?
You should know that Yugoslavia was liberated by the Soviet Red Army.

I have some of that immigrant stock myself. My grandmother was everyone's favorite in my family -- chatty, cheerful, and a fantastic cook -- but no one seems to have done her genealogy. She was a descendant of Irishmen who came, I believe, just before The War, so I could claim the Kelticke myth for myself if I wanted to be hip and modern. But I prefer to view myself as our forefathers rightly did throughout all our history, as Anglo-Saxon -- and almost Cavalier.

Lord have mercy, I think I have uttered another almost forbidden thought.

And, as I homeschool my children, you better believe I am telling them of America's heritage, their own Celtic forebears, and who the 'real enemy' is -of Christendom first, and their own country now.

There may only be '7000 who have not bowed the knee to Baal' but there are STILl '7000'!

Deo vindice!

To some extent, that has always been so in this country, hasn't it? In the years before the Civil War, writers who were having trouble making a living at their craft, often used high-level contacts made through their literary activities to land jobs in customs houses. Ever since World War 1, unimaginative men with Bachelors of Art degrees (as well as law degrees) have eagerly sought Federal civil service jobs , though nowadays they do so more often as federal "contract employees", so that they can practice the self-deceit that they're risk-takers in the free market like everyone else.

And we all know that in the future there will be far more government makework jobs created too, since the private sector of our economy is so rapidly being hollowed out of any real substance.

"And don’t you get tired of hearing people here a generation or less tell you what it means to be an American?"

Confederate General Richard Taylor had to endure this very thing, did he not?

yes, and those of a similar stock can easily melt in.

For the record, what I was considering "immigrant" of my ancestry is at worst 4th generation. Anything post Revolutionary War is "immigrant" by the reasoning I was using.
