You don't get it. In multiculturalism, only American culture and language is a bad thing.

Bingo! Multiculturalism as practiced and taught in our schools, denigrates every aspect of America's heritage, customs and history. Kids coming out of our schools today are in many cases completely unaware of America’s true history. Rather, they are victims of the Marxists who teach fictional history. A history that the most free and compassionate nation on earth and THE leader of human rights around the world is really a country run by evil European ethnics that want to oppress people just because they are mean. The Marxists in our schools have to be fretted out and throw out to the street where they belong.

Of course, these days inconvenient facts are deemed "racist," so maybe this is what you mean.

No, that was not what I meant; however, I wonder how if you reading Buchanan's book carefully because you have misunderstood my meaning...so maybe you are misunderstanding his...ummm?

President Bush will have to STAND with us against this outright invasion.

Most likely he will leave this to his successor(s).

""I don't believe Bush 2000 lives in California where one can see the real results of the great "immigration plan" in action. Please take a look at the schools, hospitals and jails, now there is a real immigration legacy.I could go on but I don't want to be labled a "racist".""

I don't give a hang what anyone calls me. Truth is truth, and facts are facts. Any freeper who lives outside California, and questions my veracity, Send me a private reply, and I will arrange for a private tour.

punitive tariffs (which would be met by other countries)

He suggested a 15% tarriff. If that is punitive, then what do you call the income tax? Other countries already charge the same tarriffs we do now; that is the whole idea behind trade deals and GATT.

I also know that Pat is right because every civilization in history goes through the same stages from rise to fall.

The changes we have experienced show that Western civilization is on the decline.

To be sure, Western civilization may now and then seem to be returning to the values that made it great--but such moments will be brief and soon replaced by a return to decline.

Civilizations don't always fall straight-down, splat; civilizations sometimes take their time about falling, fluttering downward like a falling leaf, sometimes appearing to rise--only to again reverse course and continue downward.

Rome rose and fell--though its fall spanned several centuries.

For a generation, the Rome of Cato again rose to greatness--but only for a generation, after which Romes decline continued.

Ah, my friend has smelled something in the "Immigration Act". I believe it was 1965, look closely and you may find Teddie Kennedy (?). Need I say more.

I think you'll find that back in 1965, democrats held the Presidency, the Senate, and probably the House.

Which I believe explains the 1965 Immigration Act.

Its a well known fact that thousands of farmers have lost their homes and land over many years. If you don't know that, you haven't been paying attention. I leveled a 'charge'. If you want to try to disprove it, feel free. I don't feel the need to defend myself against someone who states he hasn't read a book (your post #241), but still feels qualified to critique it.

Interestingly, most people are racist to some degree. People who would rather not associate with those of like kind are very few indeed. It is obviously a natural tendency to prefer the company of those similar to ourselves, whether those similarities are from skin color, language, or even style of dress. The trick is to realize those natural biases and still treat all with human kindness and fair play. However, the realities of American balkanization through unwise immigration policies and lack of assimilation are ignored at our country's peril.

You bet, and they are not only unaware of America's true history, they are made to feel guilty about it. And these socialist, anti American public school teachers are walking point in the destruction of this nation. We have seen it close up.

The way we are gathering and arguing/discussing reminds me of pre-communist Russia.
The atmosphere of our country at this very moment resembles very much pre-revolutionary China.
This scares me to death.

Don't worry, there won't be a revolution in America. Our government will see to that. ;^)

[eskimo]

OK. I'll bite. Is this ocurring with Bush (Either HW or W)? You're making a pretty serious charge, so I assume you'll provide us with some kind of documentation backing up your leftist, "big-oil" accusation.

What charge? You obviously do not read well and you seem to spit ignorant accusations without thinking.

Someone made a statement that was not denied only declared irrelevant. I simply pointed to the fact that if the statement remains undisputed, it is highly relevant.

Good post. lol!

I don't think the problem is that they don't want to to learn English, the problem is that they don't have to.

Hear, hear!

I believe you were already convinced that Pat was right. I don't believe that my post helped you at all; but, thanks for letting me know.

Even in science, proof is empirical.

Everytime the same results are observed, the surer the theory.

In his chapter, “The De-Christianization of America,” Buchanan argues that the death of the Christian faith in Western countries is a primary cause of their dying populations. Whenever faith dies, the people die. A new atheistic civilization is arising, he argues, and is using its dominance of the culture and the courts to drive Christianity out of the temples of our civilization.

He's running both hot and cold here - he condemns the immigrants for not sharing Western culture (even though most of them are Christian and even more devout Christians than many native-born people) but then turns around and declares that the West is losing its faith.

If people looked around in any Catholic Church during Mass- many of you would note the significant number of non-white, mainly immigrant faces. Around here I note the increasing number of Korean-Baptist or Chinese-Baptist or Vietnamese-Baptist churches in this area.
