Haven't posted much lately, been a might busy...
I respect people's views. The US is built on being able to be individual and express yourself freely.
And I respect traditionalism. Keep your heritage, be proud of it.
But, and I use an extreme for illustration purposes, not to be political or push an agenda, inability to allow your fellow human to be who they are is dangerous. Case in point, extremists. Any extremist finds no adherence to their beliefs intollerable. Worst case scenario is 9-11-01 and the train bombing in Spain and the bombings in Micronesia.
I can express anything I want. I am not responisble for your reaction to what I say, that is your reaction and you govern that.
I am responsible for how I say it and if discussion is allowed to broaden my horizons and possible broaden yours.

Leave, stay, jump in fully clothed. you make your happiness and your sorrow.
I am happy in my Utilikilts. You feel strongly about traditionalism? Great, I mean no offense, I just want to be as happy and comfortable as I can.
To each their own.
Lift one for me and to those that leave us, hopefully as friends.
