Ravenwolf has a great post up on Arnold's election, immigration and American pride. Excerpt:
Get some pride people. Don't apologize for being an American; it's embarrassing for the rest of us who have jumped through flaming INS hoops to be considered one of you. Think about it; there's a reason why Europe is considered the Old World. With innovative thought and fierce independence, Americans have done more in over 200 years than they have done in all of their long histories. For crying out loud, people! Look at your history! Read it! Be proud of what you have accomplished! We legal immigrants are many, but we shouldn't be the only ones who defend this country from its detractors. There is still a reason why people are dying to come here; after all, the illegals still come. Native-borns, wake up and take a goddamn stand! Be proud of America, recognize its greatness and take back the country you have forgotten about! Or else, don't be surprised when you suddenly wake up and find your America gone; that's what happens when you take things for granted.
Highly recommended, thought-provoking reading!
