Been nice knowin' ya, America

By Dimitri Vassilaros TRIBUNE-REVIEW Sunday, May 7, 2006

Will the next generation of U.S. citizens consider themselves Americans or post-Americans? Better still, why wouldn't they consider themselves post-Americans? Considering how quickly this republic is unraveling, is it too late to ask rhetorical questions?

Karl Rove and Bush and Company, etc. are really doing a lot to make sure this country doesn't get overrun by illegal immigrants. With the course we are now, maybe the Republican Party will get 35% of the illegal immigrant vote, eventually. Losing, the country? Hey, if the Republican party gets 35%, ask Rove, it's worth it.

I am a Native American. That is, simply, someone who was born here.

Poor Libertarian Dimitri.

I guess that is what Libertarian moral reletavism does to you, makes you as doom and gloom as hillary and pelosi.

[last american]

"Somebody for whom the interests of the U.S. are not paramount and no longer feels greater loyalty to his fellow Americans. They have become cosmopolitans,"


But that is precisely the plan! The balkanization of the united states is the first step, followed by the full and complete destruction of any semblance of borders.. then global socialism will have a much easier chance of taking hold.

Post for a keeper.

I had a pastor of a church I used to go to declare America "post-Christian" America about 10 years ago. And he warned of "post-American" America. He was more concerned with abortion, special rights for homosexuals, the state of the family, etc. I don't think he had a clue that illegal immigration might have something to do with, too.

We have problems. We've had problems before. We'll get through it and its still a great time to be American - the best time yet, I think.

[HarryCaul]

Yeah, cause there's never been a time before when America wasn't totally united in what it was.

America changes, that's what it *does*.

Just for your information, the writer of this article is also pro-abortion and pro-gay marriage.

I have noticed that big L Libertarians have jumped on the populist tancredo anti-hispanic bandwagon.

I'm reading How the Irish Saved Western Civilization. The first fourth of the book is a short description of the decline of the Roman empire and the descent into the dark ages. It happened amazingly fast. A few decades.

This guy is right on, except it is worse!!! America won't become secular or cosmopolitan. It will become destroyed by Nukes and Muslim terrorism fostered by the current Democrat Party, the MSM and America haters right here in the good old USA!!! You young folks have got just a few years left!!!

[beyond the sea]

"The elites in Washington, D.C., New York City and the United Nations seem to have plotted a journey to lead America into the New World Order where a cosmopolitan global citizen is no more connected to his country than a sociopath to his fellow man." ---

What a surprise. I am glad I'm 59 and not a child in this nation now.

This country and its leaders are acting like filth to the memories and sacrifices of The Founding Fathers and of others.

It disgusts me. I'd hate to be a child now!

How old are you, may I ask?

[gondramB]

>>How old are you, may I ask?<<

42, just had a birthday last week.

America dies, that's what it is doing.

This guy is right on, except it is worse

I think you are right.

Yawn. New day, same old hysterics with the same old doom and gloomy delusions. Same sorts of losers said it in the 1820s, 1850s, 1860s, 1890s, 1910s, 1930s, 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s. Funny thing. The Republic survives long after the panic stricken are rotting meat.
