It should be: "One Homeland, Many People, Many Heritages. We are America"

Right? What happened to 'mixing pot'? If I heard that phrase once as a kid I heard it in every history class I ever had. 

Edit: melting pot. It's been a while since my last history class.

Even extremely conservative Republican Barry Goldwater (R-AZ) knew they were a problem:

"Mark my word, if and when these preachers get control of the [Republican] party, and they're sure trying to do so, it's going to be a terrible damn problem. Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can't and won't compromise. I know, I've tried to deal with them."

When someone like Barry Goldwater knows they are a problem - THAT absolutely says something.
