"At what point, then, is the approach of danger to be expected?
"I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide."
So said Abe Lincoln to the Young Men's Lyceum in Springfield. Observing the Senate last week, and looking over the latest figures from the Census Bureau, America is now risking national suicide.
Last week, senators meeting in secret produced a bill to legalize our 12 million to 20 million illegal aliens. If a path to citizenship becomes law, nothing will stop the next invasion. As President Bush acknowledges, 6 million tried to breach our southern border in his first five years. One in 12 – 500,000 – had a criminal record.
According to the Census Bureau, from mid-2005 to mid-2006, the U.S. minority population rose 2.4 million, to exceed 100 million. Hispanics, 1 percent of the population in 1950, are now 14.4 percent. Their total number has soared 25 percent since 2000 alone. The Asian population has also grown by 25 percent since 2000.
The number of white kids of school age fell 4 percent, however. Half the children 5 and younger in the United States are now minorities.
What is happening to us? An immigrant invasion of the United States from the Third World, as America's white majority is no longer even reproducing itself. Since Roe v. Wade, America has aborted 45 million of her children. And Asia, Africa and Latin America have sent 45 million of their children to inherit the estate the aborted American children never saw. God is not mocked.
And white America is in flight.
In the 1990s, for the first time since the Spanish came, whites left California. Two million departed. From July 1, 2005, to July 1, 2006, 100,000 more packed up and headed back whence their fathers came. The "Anglo" population of the Golden State is down to 43 percent and falling fast. White folks are now a minority in Texas and New Mexico. In Arizona, Hispanics account for over half the population under 20.
The future is not in doubt. Why ought this be of concern?
First, while the black and Hispanic population combined is now 85 million – five times what it was in 1960 – half of all black and Hispanic kids drop out of high school. And the average math and reading scores of the half who graduate are at seventh-, eighth- or ninth-grade levels.
And the future is not so sanguine as it seemed 50 years ago. As I write in "State of Emergency":
"In 1960, 18 million black Americans, 10 percent of the nation, were not fully integrated into society, but they had been assimilated into our culture. They worshiped the same God, spoke the same language, had endured the same Depression and war, watched the same TV shows on the same four channels, laughed at the same comedians, went to the same movies, ate the same foods, read the same newspapers and went to schools where, even when segregated, we learned the same history and literature and shared the same holidays: Christmas, New Year's, Washington's Birthday, Easter, Memorial Day, July 4, Labor Day, Columbus Day. Segregation existed, but black folks were as American as apple pie, having lived in this land longer than almost every other group save the Native Americans.
"That cultural unity, that sense that we were one people, is gone."
Today's immigrants exceed in number anything any nation has ever known. They now come from cultures and countries whose people have never before been assimilated by any First World country. Not only is the Melting Pot broken, it is rejected by our elites. Minorities are urged to hold onto their own language, customs, traditions. Identity politics is in. And the largest cohort, Mexicans, comes from a country with a historic grievance and a claim on the territory they are entering.
Moreover, since the cultural revolution of the 1960s, we have been fighting one another over issues of race and ethnicity, history, heroes and holidays, morality and religion, right and wrong.
All over the Western world, multiethnic, multicultural countries are coming apart over language, ethnicity, history. The Soviet Union broke into 15 nations, Yugoslavia into half a dozen. Czechs and Slovaks divorced. Scots want separation from England. Catalans and Basques seek independence. Corsicans and Bretons want out of France. Northern Italians want to secede. Only immigrants who prefer Ottawa prevent Quebecois from breaking free of Canada.
As we see from the election battles in Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador and Mexico, race and ethnicity are not receding as issues, but rising. In South Central Los Angeles, black and Hispanic gangs are at war over race and turf.
Addressing the Knights of Columbus in 1915, Theodore Roosevelt warned, "The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities."
In every way possible, Americans have said they do not want to take this risk with their country. Why, then, are our elites taking it?
Which liberal front runner are you voting for?
Duh-ane. I thought you would have left FR to join your open border pals at their new site. You’re about the last one left here to plant the Aztlan flag.
I have no idea what you’re talking. If you happen to read any of his quotes, you’ll find its pretty hard to take them out of context. What’s the SLPC? Why do all you Ron Paul people assume everything is part of a conspiracy? Is it possible your candidate is just a senile disaster?
He needs our support for President.

No wonder you're such an expert on the issue. You live in the middle of the problem, in northern Virginia.
Why don't you share your knowledge with those of us who live in southern California, who would love to learn from you?
BTW, I've never once heard 'Hispanics' call themselves that term. They call themselves 'latino'. 'Hispanics' is from census forms. Latino is from their langauge. You'll improve your pretense to knowledge if you learn their language, pendejo.
I’m not a Ron Paul person. Do they scare you? Are you being followed by them?
The SPLC is the Southern Poverty Law Center, a nasty little outfit that spends its time accusing various conservatives of being members of hate groups, of expressing racism, of having nazi sympathies. They like to selectively quote the people they target.
You have a natural knack for their methods, and it’s a shame your talent isn’t being rewarded. Give up high school, and see if Morris Dees won’t hire you.
Pelham come lately, I’d suggest I was just using the phrase thats been used on this thread. I would imagine the Latinos of Southern California have a lot more to teach than I do. Maricon.
At the same time that our schools are teaching feel-good self-esteem relativism to our youth we are inundated with foreigners who don't understand the way Americans think. Heck we have Americans who were born here who don't know what this place is all about.There's a scene in which the main character,John Nash(a real person) comes up with the paradigm for globalization(something he actually did).
Basically the idea is that America can no longer be number one in the world. So we started giving away our manufacturing base. That was decided back in the 50's.
Duncan Hunter is the man that we should be backing.

Damn straight on Duncan Hunter. That’s what I’ve been trying to say. I wish all these Paulies and Team Tancredo members could see the light. If Thompson doesn’t get in, Hunter is more and more becoming my man.
You responded to me. If you don't want me in your face, don't respond to my posts.
>>>>>Stop insulting FReepers by suggesting they're liberals.
If the shoe fits, I'll label a liberal a liberal whenever I think its necessary. If you don't like it, don't read my posts.
Btw, please STOP whining already! LOL
You know I can’t stay angry with somebody who loves Ronald Reagan.
Chingasa, puto, you have heuvos to be calling me that. Maricon is you and your boyfriend.
“I was just using the phrase thats been used on this thread”
So, you’d be calling yourself gabacho if that had appeared on the thread?
You write like you are in high school.
You seem to bristle pretty hard at maricon. Methinks the lady doth protest too much.
Don't give yourself so much credit. You didn't play sports much in school either, did you? I hear maricon and worse at work every day. In your case they wouldn't be kidding, and they'd be pressing you for those virgin sisters you didn't have time for.
I don’t support a fence. It’s nothing but a ruse to fool the masses. It would do absolutely nothing in curbing illegal immigration. The only thing that will is eliminating the reason illegals choose to break the law to get here: the privileges. Eliminate the welfare, health care, and jobs, and the illegals will go back to their country on their own.
Funny, you culled the same line out of that I did, without seeing yours, and posted further down in #47. I drew different meanings from it, as there is a profound irony in it that relates directly to the kind of culture that is mired in wholesale abortion as a way of life, and the kind of culture that would substitute unmeltable ethnic immigrants to substitute for those killed in the womb. As if THOSE future Americans were not the desirable ones, but the Nigerians,Somalians,etc. etc. were and are. If you really want to know the hidden agenda of abortion on demand, look up the words of Ron Weddington, Chief Counsel of Roe v. Wade, and what he wrote to Bill Clinton soon after Clinton took office. Pat is making brilliant, subtle, evocative, and provocative points, and you’re missing them.
