It’s certainly off to a good start.

[Fairview]

yes

[Greg F]

I’m a Buchanan fan. Flame away you globalist stooges!

[boomop1]

Little late, diversity and PC already has.

[puroresu]

I don’t always agree with Buchanan, but he’s 100% right on this issue.

"It’s certainly off to a good start."

Especially in "Aztlan."

“Until the Irish came in 1845, there was almost no immigration.”

As a country, perhaps, yes; as a colony set, there had already been alot of influx.

And please, it wasn’t just Irish, even at that time. There was a huge spike of Germans at the same time. They were and remain the biggest influx of any kind ever. Until the Mexicans “take over”, that is.

Even during the Great Wave of 1890-1920, the number of immigrants was a fraction of the 38 million here today. And all had come from Europe.

And back then our institutions were set up to promote American culture, not to preserve the ways of the old country. The job of the government was to teach Americanism; preserving the language and culture and food of the old country was the job of churches and ethnic associations.

In unity there is strength; in diversity there is weakness.

Can Diversity Destroy Us?

In a word: YES

Anyone who needs to ask the question is clueless.
Exactly like the losers who originally defined "diversity" as a good thing, in the current context.
Before it became a religion, diversity silently worked as intended. Hundreds of years.

[massgopguy]

Diversity is code for White people being evil.

[Spok]

Industry and innovation leads a nation to prosperity. Prosperity, unfortunately, leads to sloth, self-indulgence and ultimately, discontent. Until we, as a people, have a reason to get off our fat, overstuffed sofas and back into the real world where hard work and courage are respected, we will continue our blank-stared saunter into oblivion.

[HwyChile]

Wow. I have been saying this for year. The melting pot made us great, but the left has rejected the melting pot and their multicultural ideology is making us weaker in every case.

[skeeter]

Nice going Pat. Took the majority 20 years, but I think they’re finally catching on.

[puroresu]

It’s great that Buchanan mentioned Japan. They aren’t nearly as bullied by PC over there as we are over here. It’s interesting that they came right out and suggested to Vice-President Quayle that diversity was a weakness. Of course, he repeated the official mantra that diversity is a strength, which it obviously is not. BTW, didn’t President Bush repeat that nonsense after 9/11?

[griswold3]

The biggest crisis the illegal immigration situation has brought us is the lack of assimulation.
The opposition can argue all they want about other cultures coming here at various times, but one thing they held dear was to become an American!
No longer!
