Anna - much as I usually like your posts, this demonization of the Federal Reserve is wrong. In this day and age every country with a large economy needs a central bank to help control inflation interest rates, etc. The Fed isn't a cartel. It is a necessary part of our government.

In this day and age every country with a large economy needs a central bank to help control inflation interest rates, etc. The Fed isn't a cartel. It is a necessary part of our government. Central banks inevitably replace real money with useless fiat currency. DAS (formerly BushAdmirer) you should read this book. It's very factual and delves into this "Fed" and it's takeover of the US economy in 1913 and how it is bankrupting America and by design creating an ever increasing National Debt.
Central Banks have tried again and again to regain control of the US economy, which freed itself of international bankers with the US war of Independence. President Jackson put one of the Biddle bankers in prison after he went too far in trying to have a malware private Central Bank installed. The control of the economy by a government accountable to the people is essential for a free and sovereign nation.

The melting pot degrades our civilisation! Some can integrate into western societies vey well, but some cannot. We don't have a sorting mechanism to determine which might adapt and which probably would not. Even if we did have such a process, it would be criticized as discriminatory. Several years ago I was riding public transportation in Paris. Not wanting to drive a car in the city, which can be challenging in Paris, I had parked my rent car near the last Metro stop in the suburbs. Late that evening I was riding the Metro heading back to my car park. A Muslim woman got on and sat very close and facing me. She was wearing a burka though she wasn't accompanied by a man. I didn't speak with her but I thought about it. I figured she was very religious or she wouldn't be wearing a burka. She probably had been taught that she's not suppose to speak to men other than her spouse. Just looking at her clothing and the way she carried herself, I thought she's never going to meld into our society, make friends with French people, or fit in. Her life in France must be rather clumsy and uncomfortable.

It is NOT multiculturalism that's the problem; it's MONOCULTURALISM.
Whether it's Orthodox Jews, fundo Christians, fundo Muslims, Amish, racial supremacists or any other group that is separatist and wants to exclude itself from other cultures, it's that MONOCULTURALISM that's the problem.

It's uncanny that you mention fundamentalist Christians and even the innocent Amish in the same context as fundamentalist Islam, which clearly approves of violence in contrast to the other groups you mention.
The Orthodox Jews are very good people. When I lived in Frankfurt I had some contact with them, at work and through the chess clubs. No problem.
The "Mideasterners" whether they are fundamentalist Muslims or lost souls assimilated in the amoral leftist, consumerist melting pot are clearly becoming more and more of a problem.

Exactly correct Lin. Monoculturalism is exactly what they have in Muslim countries. They are intolerant of other cultures. In fact, groups like ISIS are so intolerant of other cultures that they think beheading is the way to deal with people of differing beliefs. Many Muslim immigrants to Europe and America feel like a fish out of water. They're so used to living under Sharia law in an Islamic monoculture that they're uncomfortable in our multicultural society. That's why some of them seek to extend the caliphate into Europe just as they did in the eighth century.

It's disgusting how the media and political correctness play down or censor the news of rapes that are rampant in Sweden and elsewhere after the mass Mideastern immigration.
If a Christian terrorist group were behind these attacks the media and the fake civil rights groups would express non-stop outrage. Outrage against rape, terror and crime is always appropriate, but why the sudden silence and politically correct Orwellian "double think" when Muhammed's fundamentalists or Mideastern immigrants are involved?

And the fundo Muslims do NOT 'understand Mohammed's scriptures as they were originally intended to be understood' - apart from anything else, how come so many of the things they DO are specifically FORBIDDEN in the Quran? They INTERPRET them in a way that suits their prejudices - just as those who demonize Islam interpret them in a way that suits their prejudices. The 'plan' of Islam is NOT 'world conquest and rule by tyranny and terror.' But as the saying goes, 'the paranoids are out to get you.' I know about this from direct personal experience; both in terms of my interaction with a relatively 'outside' culture and my interaction with the wider community. And honestly, multiculturalists are the GOOD guys. Really.

Big Lin I'm simply stating that Muhammed or whoever wrote the Koran was justifying and promoting everything from pedophilia, terror to murder and world conquest. I realise that hardly any people who call themselves Muslims bow down towards Mecca 5 times a day for prayer. Of course the doctrine of taqiya enables Muhammed's followers to conceal their beliefs from non-Muslims.
Multicuralists are as a rule more interested in money + consumption than culture.

Anna, that's just not true.
And multiculturalism is about sharing; fundo Muslims, by definition, are MONOCULTURALISTS.
If they WERE multiculturalists they wouldn't DO the things they do.

Many multiculturalists may have good intentions just like most Woodstock hippies did. The fact is these are as a rule very weak people and not to be relied on. They cannot plan or build a safe country nor a future. When western civilisation, which protects them, falls they will have to submit to whatever comes afterwards.

Many monoculturalists may have good intentions just like many of the more naive Nazis or Communists die. The fact is that only through tolerance and respect for other cultures as well as your own can you build or plan a safe country and a future. And 'Western culture' is hardly monolithic. If you regard 'Western culture' as being more or less defined by the values of the Enlightenment, then any kind of monoculturalism is incompatible with those values while multiculturalism is completely compatible with them. I do wish you'd stop trying to present multiculturalism as if it was the OPPOSITE of what the word means. ALL extremists are intolerant and want to impose their own belief systems on other people. Whether it's racists, Communists, fascists or religious bigots it's the same fundamental problem. ALL of them have to be fought and prevented from imposing their ideologies on other people. It's the very essence of liberalism to fight AGAINST those things.

Big Lin your definitions of "liberal" and liberalism has in many respects little to do with the people who call themselves liberals nowadays. The nihilist leftists or traitors to our culture have hijacked the term "liberal" and are only interested in tearing down Western civilisation and ignoring what comes next. Look at all these fake civil rights lobbyists and SPLC like groups that are only interested in persecuting citizens who defend Western civilisation and express their views as free speech should allow refusing to be politically correct slimers.
