https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2018/11/22/thanksgiving-the-lefts-use-of-national-identity-for-immigration-maximalism/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: This trend of nonstop, immigration maximalism is the sort of driving force that Huntington’s Who Are We? notes has contributed to the decimation of America’s national identity which the political Left has justified through the revisionist story of the pilgrims. “‘We Americans’ face a substantive problem of national identity epitomized by the subject of this sentence. Are we a ‘we,’ one people or several? If we are a ‘we,’ what distinguishes us from the ‘thems’ who are not us? …” Huntington wrote in 2004. “These questions remain for Americans in their post-September 11 era.”)

http://www.gopusa.com/?p=59648
— The Ungrateful Nation (DIERSEN: Who blasts you for not being thankful enough? I should write a book about those who blast me for not being thankful enough. According to them, I would not have anything now a) if I had not been born a healthy White male, b) if I had not avoided the draft, c) if the federal government had not grossly overpaid me, d) if I had not gotten married, e) if my wife had not always had income, f) if we had not given up trying to have children, g) if we had adopted, h) if we had become foster parents, and i) if my retirement benefits were not so overly generous. In my defense, I earned a) a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21 in 1970 and job-related master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48, b) job-related professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48, and c) a job-related professional license when I was 32.)
