For all the “I don’t have a problem with legal immigration, I’m only opposed to illegal immigration” FReepers out there....
About twenty-five years ago, a colleague and I was discussing Bush’s “New World Order,” and what it meant.It meant that many of our elite felt more empathy with their peers in other countries than they did with their fellow Americans. In fact, they were embarrassed by old fashioned expressions of Patriotism. T0 put it another way, now that the Soviet Union was out of the way,Patriotism was revealed to be something they invoked only when it served their needs. One who did not feel this way was Ross Perot. But he must have heard this cynicism expressed enough to move him to challenge Bush in 1992. At least this is the way I read him. And Maybe Trump feels the same way now.
