Europe, R.I.P.

I predict an overland conventional invasion of Europe by Muslims in about 2050.

It won't require a conventional invasion and it will not take that long. The Islamists will simply immigrate in sufficient numbers to overwhelm the native population. It could happen in ten years or less.

Nice.

I agree with those posters who said a conventional invasion won't be necessary. The method will be a cross between the Mexican Reconquista already underway here and al Qaeda fifth column terrorism.

Considering that the number of people going on welfare so dwarfed the number involved in interracial mixing, I'm sticking to my guns. (In NYC alone, from 1966-1973, the number of welfare clients went up from 538,000 to 1.16 million, at a time when there was very little interracial dating or marriage.)

While I personally have nothing against racial mixing -- and have mixed with non-white ladies for much of my adult life -- I am also aware that the white and black middle and working classes, the groups that are the moral backbone of each group, have traditionally been those most strongly opposed to racial mixing. Much of the mixing traditionally occurred among the trash of the very rich and the very poor. How things comport today, I couldn't say.

It is amazing to think of the heros that Europe once produced and what Europe has turned into in today...

The welfare state aborts nascent heroes, in more ways than one.

I just don't see Europe fighting back until it's too late. I guess when I think about it, I have noticed some anger directed towards the Muslims. But, it doesn't seem like it's an overriding concern, more of a back burner topic. What is always on the front burner is European insecurity which manifests itself as European superiority. To me, they have too much vested in their "system" to acknowledge its part of the problem.

There are an awful lot of 68's in Europe and they are not going to sit by if a small right wing majority gets control of the government. You are talking about all the things they believed in for 40 years, and to a certain extent, saw them succeed (not that they could be maintained). No way are you going to adjust Europe's resources to fight terror very easily. Ever try to take a socialist's confiscated money?

It's going to be: 1. Blame the US. 2. Blame the US. 3. Have a conference which will come to the conclusion that it's America's fault. 4. Make some very minor but tough adjustments with the understanding that they wouldn't have to go through all of this if it wasn't for those damn cowboys. 5. Blame the US for the failure of their reforms. Ect…ect…..

You must realize that we are arguing over different aspects of the same thing: The switch from the concept of individual responsibility for solving problems and personal accountability for ones actions, to dependence upon Government and ready made excuses for whatever one wanted to do. It is not the race mixing, per se, that I am talking about. It is the downgrading of pride in family, in lines of descent, that went with the movement, as they also went, indirectly, with the rationale for ADC and other Welfare programs.

Prior to the period of which I write--and the explosion in the welfare roles would reflect the same phenomenon, the abandonment of the restraints on irresponsible and anti-social conduct in passed on family values--girls, regardless of their particular heritage, were restrained by that heritage to measure up to certain standards. They sought to emulate certain role models, etc..

I cannot for example even recall all of the times when Negro parents have cried in my office, over their loss of control over their children, since the period in question. With the trivialization of race, heredity and lines of descent, there was an obvious trivialization of the family, and family standards, as well. And it is a genuine tragedy, when a family who has pulled themselves up by their bootstraps, with a sense of personal responsibility as well as self-respect, is undermined in passing their values on to their own children by a society that wants to substitute dependence upon Government, and membership in an undifferentiated humanity, for all of the cultural structures which once provided incentives to do the right things.
