Madam, I most certainly do "get it." I understand that Mr. Buchanan is a bigot -- or at least that is the way he comes across. He has no faith in anyone other than white folks to understand and transmit the ideals that made America great. To his mind (and the minds of many on these threads) those ideals belong only to white folks and the rest of the world is comprised of grasping dirty little brown people whose very existence taints the ideals whites hold sacred.

You'll have to give Pat a little break. It's just that when you see what other people have done with their own countries you hate to see them come over and do it to ours.

"He has no faith in anyone other than white folks to understand and transmit the ideals that made America great."

True, in that regard he might have no faith.

He requires empirical evidence.

Well sir prove him wrong (I wish you could). The facts speak for themselves look at the refugee movements are they headed for Haiti, Zimbabwe, China, Mexico? There are notable exceptions amongst individuals and bless them, but other than that, failure.

To his mind (and the minds of many on these threads) those ideals belong only to white folks and the rest of the world is comprised of grasping dirty little brown people whose very existence taints the ideals whites hold sacred. So which country, comprised of those "grasping dirty little brown people," espouses ideals that you think would be a good fit for America? Mexico? Venezuela? Maybe Argentina? Can you show for me a shining example of a fantastic non-white society that is thriving and owes its robustness to its own people?

Is there a non-white society whose masses are not desiring to relocate to America? If they were accomodated -- say we let every single one of them come over here immediately, starting tomorrow -- do you think there might be a danger of our country being swayed to the types of society from which they came? In other words, would Chavez as our communist leader work wonders in the U.S.?

And, just food for thought, what do you think of the idea of a more limited form of immigration policy, whereby we control the influx of immigrants, giving them time to assimilate into our culture, rather than throwing open the floodgates and just letting whomever decides to live here move here?
