No melting-pot? I personally have friends, relative and neighbors that have come from all different parts of the world and now live here. They look different, talk different and have different beliefs than my own. I would call that a melting-pot. What would you call it?
It was out of context as far as you fail to see what message he intended to send. You are just being an ass Not that Stu deserves it sometimes.

As far as the melting pot, to me melting pot requires "FUSSION" on inter-culture. Not a take over, not a side by side, not multicultural. What you described sounds like a multi cultural 'status quo.' It only lasts until one culture gets larger and strong enough to take over. It's happening all over the western world. I can think of only one place that's close to a melting pot; Singapore. Indian, Malay, Chinese, Muslim, Christian, Buddhist work together for the ultimate goal of "GETTING RICH," meanwhile its surrounding neighbors are fighting religious and ethnic low level wars.

And in my opinion, your observation on the 'right has gone far right' is flaw. This country have been steadily moving to the left. I considered myself as a democrat about 15 years ago - until the lovely Clintons started to mingle in private life - attempted to tell me what health care to obtain and so on.
