Well, I hear what you're saying. We need to get better at assimilating people. We used to be better. It happens on it's own over time, but a confident culture does it faster. We've lost a lot of the reflexive America-is-great confidence we used to have, and people sense it.

The tough talk is great if there's a plan. If the plan is 'kill em all', then forget it. Most American's aren't going to go for that, and if that's all you're selling, then you're selling defeat.

How much do people really believe in conservative values? If those values are universal, then we need to stay confident and sell them. Anglos aren't the only people who want economic freedom and God given rights as individuals. Otherwise, this whole American experiment is a lost cause on borrowed time.

Assimilation! Dang! That was the word I needed badly as I posted elsewhere a few days ago! Assimiliation is dead on. Actually, it’s dead isn’t it? What you say above is very important. Thanks. It is so true! And it sure beats my awful and secular approach of an “intuitive” construction. I do know, of course, you are absolutely right and wish I had said it. A “confident culture” is also apt in problem solving. You must be a professor of some rank. Thanks. %:D
