Should the United States remain in NATO?

Is Germany abolishing itself through Mass Immigration? Germany has about 80 million people. By 2020 the demographics could change to a point were Muslims are a large voting block. If so, what would that mean for Jewish, Woman and LGBT rights? Will this impact trade and policy toward the Middle East or Russia. If Germany or Europe erupts into violence, what should our reaction be?

Yes. It's the UN we need to withdraw from...

Germany and many other European countries have done it to themselves. They are too busy being politically correct to see the dangers until after the horse is out of the barn. A civil war in Europe is not in NATO mandate, but neither was Bosnia, Libya. NATO has been struggling for something to do, a purpose, but with Russia making noise it may find a purpose sooner than later. I fully agree with TSgt David L., the UN is about as worthless as tits on a boar hog! Very evident in Bosnia, Rwanda and any other place where a decision needs to be made. The UN will live it's military commanders with tied hands. At least NATO supports the Commanders.
I feel NATO is still worth supporting but for the right reasons - beware of mission creep.

Yes, there is still value to NATO. As a counterbalance to Russia, as a ready source of coalition (even though I recognize how weak those coalitions often are), and as a mechanism of military standardization (NATO STANAGs). We just may too big a crutch for them...and they've taken advantage of our generosity...they do need to pony up.

Yes,and we should expand it to include other nations.We should also expand our communications capabilities to and from our partners,and create a real Global Network where other countries can become more involved.In my humble opinion we should install facial,retnal,and dna,check points in every city in the world with the capacity to run an instant Global background check,I would also like to develop behaviour detection surveillance devises and place them in all public areas.This would be a start.
