Unfortunately Buchanan's picture is factual.

Factual as it may be...it will not resonate with the majority of Americans because of its racist sounding beat.

So because people believe (incorrectly) that discussing historical facts, statistical facts and demographic facts is "racist," Buchanan and others should not even bother to make an argument against unrestricted immigration?

That's absurd.

It's an interesting problem you've spotted--the relationship between race and culture. Is there a relationship? Would it be possible to discuss the relationship rationally given the history of black (mainly) slavery in the United States? Is a study of "race" inevitably hack science as it was in the 19th century?

How can a culture flourish if there isn't a group large enough and self-confident enough to defend and promulgate their vision of how humans should behave? Where does "group identity" come from"? How can a culture inspire loyalty, and even love, if it's sole enforcers are the courts, reams of regulations, billions of laws and a Bureaucratic Elite that uses the system to alternately glorify or demonize one sub-group or another.

It seems to me, that way lies madness. But somebody always benefits handsomely from the chaos of madness. Who is benefiting from the cultural chaos of the West?

(The destruction of Yugoslavia appears more and more to have been an acutal lab experiment. Somebody considers it a successful experiment. Who? And what will it look like when the experiment is reproduced here--as it inevitably will be?

That is because europeans have been conditioned to believe that their own self-preservation is racist.
