I have considered the observation. If true, it speaks to a deficiency amongst those who are non-white, regardless of who is at fault. Sorry, the truth hurts. If that is the truth, so be it.

Thank you for articulating what many of us think but are afraid to express, even here on Free Republic. As we look at the incredible men who invented America, I don't see any Mexicans, blacks or any of the third world looting types that are infesting our land nowadays.

It was President Calvin Coolidge, a man deeply admired by President Ronald Reagan who uttered these prescient words in 1923:

American institutions rest solely on good citizenship. They were created by people who had a background of self-government. New arrivals should be limited to our capacity to absorb them into the ranks of good citizenship. America must be kept American. For this purpose it is necessary to continue a policy of restricted immigration. It would be well to make such immigration of a selective nature with some inspection at the source, and based either on a prior census or upon the record of naturalization. Either method would insure the admission of those with the largest capacity and best intention of becoming citizens. Those who do not want to be partakers of the American spirit ought not to settle in America.

That's a great quote, but I think one more line should be emphasized:

Those who do not want to be partakers of the American spirit ought not to settle in America.

I've seen liberal screeds wondering "What do the Tea Partiers mean by 'Take back America!'?" The topic of this article is a central issue. Not the only one, but a central one.

Can it be accomplished peacefully? I'm beginning to doubt it. America as the Founders envisioned her is facing an existential threat.
