LOL! ROFLOL! The Amish are immigrants? That is rich. Really rich. The Amish arrived in Lancaster County in what later became the State of Pennsylvania, in the 1720s or 1730s. Do the math. That was long before the US was the US! Immigrants? That is hilarious!
Are you under the impression that all US Immigration officers are bible believing Christians?
No but I was under the impression that all members of this discussion board are
Which you evidently misunderstood: Ken will correct me if I'm wrong but I read his post as deploring the treatment of non-white by white Christians based on skin colour
Two points. First I am not a "conservative." If anything (and I abhor "left/right" attempts to pigeonhole people) I am slightly (or not so slightly) left of center.
Left of centre? Now it's your turn to make me laugh....
Who here has attacked your family? Point out the post and I will take Admin action.
They immigrated from Germany to England. Colonial England. 4th grade history is your friend.
Which members of this discussion board are "rich and powerful" immigrants?
Just goes to illustrate your habit of jumping to conclusions with absolutely not facts to support your conclusions other than your own personal bias.
I hold to the very unpopular position that I own the goods or services I offer, and am free to refuse service to anyone. If I chose to discriminate against divorced people or people of a different faith, or of a different denomination, or atheists, that is my choice and government has no business telling me who I can and cannot sell my goods or services to. Let the free market sort it out. If I make enough people mad they will stop buying my goods or using my services and I will go out of business. Trust the people to make these decisions, not the government, which can't seem to do anything right.
Thanks for confirming that they were indeed immigrants...who have steadfastly refused to assimilate.
Other than what you've posted...
Point to where I said upthread that someone attacked my family and I'll do my best to help you out
Remind me how that policy worked out in the Deep South prior to the 1960s if you were a black man...
Show me in this thread where anyone attacked anyone's family. Time to put up or shut up.
Now Matt, I realize this is difficult for you, but think about it for a minute. How could they assimilate into a country/culture that did not exist, and would not exist for another 50 years? And when that country/culture finally came into existence would it not be incumbent on the new country/culture to assimilate into those already there, namely the Amish?
