I don’t believe in ethnic cleansing but I do believe that the pre 1965 immigration quotas were the best solution. When people come to our country they should know that they are coming to a country that was built on a Christian cultural tradition. They can practice their religion but they cannot ask us to change our religion in order to accomodate them. This is one of the reasons why the pre 1965 immigration laws were the best. There has to be a central core of shared beliefs, this is what keeps society together. The kind of society that you want would be a zoo.

What the secular humanists are doing is an act of destruction of the Christian heritage of the West. This is intolerance. Secular Humanists are not satisfied to just disagree, they have to take over institutions and drive out the people who founded those institutions. This is not tolerance. As for ethnic cleansing, there has been something akin to it—religious cleansing. It has going on for many years. Russia and other Communist countries have tried to wipe out large numbers of their own people in their fanatical drive to destroy their own religious tradition.

I do not think that the best use of government is to enforce one religion or culture over another religion or culture.

That smacks of bigotry.

The best government is that which governs least.

Let religious views be debated in the marketplace of ideas, among those who care to do such.

Let people celebrate their religion and culture or lack of religion and lack of culture as they see fit.

I don’t want to enforce my personal beliefs and personal preferences on you, because under a different government, that would permit you to enforce your personal beliefs and personal preferences on me.

To the extent that this has been done in the past, it is an injustice, antithetical to most notions of individual freedom.

The only equitable solution is that no one should be allowed to enforce their personal beliefs and personal preferences on anyone else.

Stated in another way:

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
