How do prevent the stop-n-go jihad that is currently going on in London from happening here? Should we have an El Al if-you're-a-Muslim-you-don't-ride standard for our planes and trains?
At the very least will those traveling on subways in this country have to carry their things in mesh, see-through carry bags like they do in many public high schools-- in reaction to Columbine-- in this Country?
Clearly, their are many terror cells, native and foreign born , in this country. Monitoring mosques, forbidding muslims entry into certain engineering programs at our universities, massive deportations of problem muslims and ,gasp, a plan for internment should be prepared by a guy like John Pointdexter for implementaion if necessary.
Internment is an option and the POTUS should seal the borders stat.
German-Americans weren't exactly "Americanized Germans". I think you neglect to account for how important the Germans have been to the forming of the American character.
BTW, the Moslem population in America continues to consist mostly of African-Americans.
Due to Old World diseases to which Indians had no hereditary resistance, almost all American Indian populations lost anywhere from 90% to 98% people in the 1500s or 1600s, depending on when European contact occurred.
In what we now call Latin America, almost the only people to survive were those who had an European parent, e.g. a friendly, passing Conquistidore, or a good padre interested in the growth of his new flock.
African slaves were brought into many depopulated areas to work, but it wasn't all work!
The Indian population in North and South America is predominantly of mixed origins, with the greater part of that mix having its origins in Europe or Africa.
Spain became the primary source of immigrants to Mexico and El Centro America. Other sources were India itself, North Africa, Philippines, and any other place where Spanish ships regularly called and did business.
Still, there remain some Indian people who actually look Indian, but they are rare. Rather, there are large numbers of people who exhibit facial characteristics typical of their Indian ancestors, but they are otherwise of predominantly non-Indian origins.
Today your typical Mexican resembles the typical 16th Century "average Spaniard" quite well.
Well, ignoring the Constitution (which FDR did frequently), just how long do you propose interring millions of Muslims? Until they change the Koran? Until we convert them to Christianity? Forever?
Well, I don't profess to know what an average 16C Spaniard looked like, but you don't know either. However, if you think that the average Mexicano looks much like the average 20C Spaniard, you haven't been to Spain.
I didn't see the answer to my question in your excellent profile. Do you prefer Charlie Windsor, or a descendant of Bonnie Prince C (if there is one)?
There are German-American communities in Texas where the 3rd generation still speaks with a German accent and call their grandparents Opa and Oma. In the first part of the 20th century, many Germans in Texas still refused to take part in the Census and sent their kids to German-speaking schools.
It was composed predominantly of Morenos, etc.
Didn't you ever wonder what really happened after the last Moslem Kingdom in Spain was deposed? It's not like all the commoners piled into ships and sailed to Morocco or Iraq. It was much more like the guys at the bottom stayed in place, converted to Christianity (since it was customary in Spain during the Reconquista to convert your religion to whatever it was the current Lord adhered to), and tried to better themselves economically.
The Discovery of America was the best thing to have ever happened to the lower socio-economic classes of Spain.
What you see in Spain today is an ethnic mix substantially different from that of the 1500s.
BTW, I know very well that the Galicians (up until the mid 1600s) and the Basques aren't terribly swarthy, if that's what you mean, but they aren't typical of the population of ancient Al Andaluz either. Never were!
BTW, German settlers began arriving in the 1600s. Someone who is only 3rd generation is hardly representative of the 1/4 of the American people who claim to be substantially of German ancestry.
VERY VERY friendly. Spain basically conquered Mexico by producing part-Spanish offspring with the indigenous people. The "La Raza" Aztlan types yammer about rights for the native Aztec people and taking back the SW U.S. for the native Aztecs, blah blah blah, ignoring the fact that the major part of the blood that runs through their veins is Spanish. But, of course, Conquistadores and anything European is politically incorrect for the leftist groups.
No, not Galactaca..
Well, I'm speaking of Germans in Texas, strictly. There was a HUGE influx to Texas through Galveston and New Orleans in the early 1800s, after the Prince of Solms was sent to establish a settlement. You might say Texas was the German's destination of last resort, LOL.
They got there just in time to beef up Union battalions in the Civil War ~ got 'mercanized real darned quick too!
I know of folks who come from the Middle East who actually plan on regular trips to Mexico just to feel "normal". Their impression is the same as mine ~ that your typical Mexican, unless he or she looks positively Mayan, resembles people in the Middle-East more than anything.
We can afford to lose our blue zones, they are cess pools anyway. Let the Islamists have NY/LA/DC and impose Sharia Law on the liberals who may then change their tune when heads are rolling down 5th Ave.
The rural folks know how to take care of a problem like Islamists. Shoot shovel shut up.
BUMP
""HELLO??? If there is no victory, the Constitution is rather moot. Where do you see freedom with out victory in any situation? Seeing the forest for the trees yet? God..stay out of my fighting position, please.""
I believe we are only an attack away from having the constitution suspended, temporarily of course.
This is more true in the major metropolitan areas than in places like Cuernavaca and more rural areas. On my travels, I've noticed that the prevalent look in Mexico City, etc., is more the "mestizo" (equal mix of Spanish and Aztec and look like the lady who plays George Lopez wife) look, while in the more rural areas, people either look more like the royal family of Monaco or they look VERY Indian, with a handful of "mestizo", although, it's logical that eventually the "mestizo" will increase and the "pure" will decrease.
If that's a joke and not a typo... ROTFL
Instead of internment why not mass evacuations. Thats why God made the Sudan...Sos we can drop ship ship them to the sand dune of their choosing.
