I think grits is an acquired taste. Because if you grow up sating the stuff you have a longtime sentimental attachment to it. The people like the mayor of Dearborn are properly called barbarians.
Great post. Only one nit to pick. The black specks in grits are the abscission layer, commonly known as the "black layer". I know I'm being picky, but kind of thought you might want to know.
I love grits and frankly have not ever worried about fly s..t "certainly never expected an imported – legal or illegal - population to elect and support enemies of the nation who operate from within our own government." It is time for the return of common sense and adherence to the Republic's Constitution. The municipal leadership of Dearborn is invited to return to Islam dominated nations.
We never encountered fly feces in our grits, but we occasionally discovered weevils in the flour. Similar metaphor, but a little bit more to the point (weevils move about and reproduce, getting into everything else - feces do not). And it is more easily shared in mixed company ;-).
You nailed it, Michael. You want to come to America, become a real American. We have an amazing Constitution and Bill of Rights, and you WILL be expected to follow those precepts. You don't get to impose your former country's rules on us. Get over yourself ... or get out.
My one contention here Michael is that the founding fathers weren't silent on this matter. They spoke of it many times. Hamilton in "The Examination," Madison in "Naturalization," Washington in a letter to John Adams, wrote about immigration and assimilation, as did other founding fathers in other places. They all believed you couldn't have a country if immigrants didn't assimilate. The idea of "multiculturalism" is a farce. Here is a piece I wrote about it not long ago:
I'm not sure I understand what you're saying here, Michael. At the time of the American Revolution there were many loyalists that clung to the crown. Washington had to push back against veterans who wanted to unseat the Continental Congress and crown him the first king of America.
Well, it seemed pretty clear to me. I'm not seeing how your comment has anything to do at all with what I wrote. Let me try to summarize: 1) America was established with a defined set of tenets, expressed in the Declaration and the Preamble to the Constitution and the structure set to preserve them is listed in the Constitution, 2) People came to America to take advantage of a system based on those tenets, 3) Illegal immigration imported millions upon millions of people with zero ties or respect for those tenets, 4) when millions are imported it is much harder to remove them than it was for them to come, 5) this produced a segment that is represented in Congress that doesn't really seem that interested in maintaining this nation and the tenets it was founded upon, 6) America cannot survive in the long term if that continues.

One morning, I picked a bug out of my bowl. Asked my dad how it got into a sealed box of cereal. He replied, "It was born in there".

I was just saying that the founding fathers had opposition from other colonialists to deal with.
