The basis of my post was to show that society is being duped into an 
ideology of non-discrimination, largely due to Marxist liberal teaching in 
universities and government manipulation of the laws to "equalize" the 
masses in order to maintain the power of the state.  I agree with Mel that a 
society that takes individual freedom for granted is like the proverbial 
frog placed in a jug of water that is slowly heated to the boiling point. 
We don't realize that we're losing our freedom because the process is 
gradual over the generations.

Thus, what started as a movement to integrate the races, spread to a Supreme 
Court decision to allow unrestricted immigration.  This, in turn, led to a 
policy of "political correctness" which made public judgments of cultural 
and sexual differences immoral.  Now we are faced with immigrants (many of 
them illegal) who demand the right to subsidized birth-to-death healthcare, 
signs and books printed in two languages, Islamic prayer and the teaching of 
multicultural equality in schools, single-sex marriage, and a socialist 
president who well may have a globalist agenda for America.  The 
individual's innate capacity to discriminate has been reduced to the lowest 
common denominator, and national sovereignty is no longer cherished.  As the 
pot comes to a boil, those of us who have witnessed this decline suddenly 
find that we've lost the values which made this nation unique in the 
civilized world.  Alas, it may be too late to change our course.
