More reasons to declare these agents of foreign government invading our country “enemies of state.”

Apartheid was a great evil, and it’s an error to say that South Africa was a great place with it. Only the white population benefitted.

I'm sure you can find a great percentage of Black Zimbabweans who would prefer apartheid Rhodesia to their current situation.

Marxism seeks to destroy belief in God and with it comes dishonesty and barbarity. Doing this will accomplish its next goal, destruction of free markets. The final goal, of course, is slavery to a the totalitarian elite. Marxism is our nation's **most** serious threat. Our government k-12 schools and our colleges and universities are the Marxists **most** important weapon. If they succeed in indoctrinating the next generation of voters we will lose all freedom in the voting booth.

Look at Russia, suffering from a crisis of alcoholism and a crashing birthrate. The men there have forgotten how to be husbands, fathers, and leaders of their families

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

All part of the Marxist’s plan on the Road to Misery!

Our government schools are doing all they can to emasculate our nation’s little boys.

Apartheid was a great evil, and it’s an error to say that South Africa was a great place with it. Only the white population benefitted. That being said, no one can say that the nation is doing well now. The difference is, people of all races are suffering miserably.

The white apartheid government in South Africa wanted to have their cake and eat it too- they wanted the benefits of cheap black labor to work the fields, factories and mines, but they did not want to give those black workers any real stake in the country or any representation in government. This was, to put it mildly, an incredibly short-sighted approach.

The rise of Marxist and Communist groups opposing such a system should not have surprised anyone.

The US system is different- our country gives everyone living here a stake in the system and the ability to be heard by government. Heck, we even seem to give illegals those rights! Our minorities are represented in government.

Trying to compare the two countries in this regard doesn't really work.

Don’t forget during Apartheid, every Afrikaner family hired Blacks to be their gardeners, maids and handymen. Afrikaners didn’t want to give all that up and actually labor for their luxuries.

“To survive, Americans must never lose the power they now enjoy to people from alien cultures”

This is already happening due to the influx of Hispanics and Muslims.

And hippies.

The author would have one believe that racial equality under the law was the country’s downfall. Actually, it’s Marxism that has destroyed the nation. If the government, regardless of race, were to apply market-oriented economics, strong private property rights, and a combination of law & order principles with strong legal protections, they would be amazed how quickly things woudl improve.

It's not about race, it's about what happens when the underclass becomes a voting majority, and decide to loot the middle class for their own benefits. Once the looting party starts, restoring "strong private property rights" means that the looters get less loot, and they will not vote for that.

The catch is that for years, the underclass was the product of established law, namely apartheid. There was little to no opportunity to rise out of that underclass. You’re correct about looting the middle class, but in the U.S., the upper class has also done that (the reckless & predatory behavior of Wall Street and the subsequent bailout).

fascinating analysis!
Excellant post.

I have laughed at all this Kwanza nonsense and “african” identity of African (huh?) Americans..it is an absurd naive Romantacized version of the “pure native”. Yeah, right!

If everyone is so wonderful in Africa..I sure don’t see any Blacks in this country rushing to get to the continent.

BTW, whatever happened to Liberia?

good point- I never mentioned the last “christian” stronghold in Africa.

Also, I never directly mentioned the interrelationships between Islam and particularly Islam and the Voo Doo masters.
