Hi kosta!!! Except for the "mathematical certainty" part, I generally agree with this statement. This is what the raging culture war has been all about ever since the 1960s. That war is still undecided.
But if the "French model" finally wins, America as we know it will cease to exist. It's just that simple. The only system of liberty under just and equal laws on the face of the planet will die.
As inhospitable as the principles and values of the Judeo-Christian tradition are to you personally — and I think you've made that clear enough by now — American is founded on them. If that foundation is "gone," then so is America.
Thanks so much for writing!
p.s.: Balint Yazsonyi certainly did not come here to transform America into something resembling his native land of Hungary. He came here because he genuinely admired and respected the American system, and has probably done more to support and uphold it than most Americans these days. He definitely is not on the "French model...." He'd been victimized by it too many times already; he knows what an intellectual sham it is — though a mortally dangerous one.
Oh, it is a mathematic certainty, betty boop. By 2050, mere forty years from now, white (European) Americans will no longer be a majority, but will dip to 46% of the population. By contrast, in 1960, mere fifty years ago, white (European) Americans comprised 85% of the American population.
Right now, the American birth rate is below replacement rate, and almost 90% of population growth is due to the immigration. One in eight (12.5%) babies born in the US is a US citizen (by birthright) whose parents are illegal immigrants.
It is also a fact that the groups that have the highest natality rates (Hispanics and blacks) traditionally vote for the progressivist and liberal candidates and the political philosophy that generally is closer to the "French model" than to the Founding Fathers' model.

The outcome is pretty certain; we are just marking time. There are no signs of any dramatic change in the course this country has taken to change that fact.

That seems to be the direction in which we are moving. The progressivist left doesn't even hide the fact that it embraces the "French model."

America was founded on the principles of Enlightenment which are broad enough to incorporate Christian values but is not specifically, implicitly or explicitly, Christian. In fact, I personally find a lot in common with the Founding Fathers' attitude towards religion and God, as well their views of the Bible and even Paul! :)
The progressivists are already rejoicing over the death of America. As Simon Talley of the Daily Iowan writes in "The 'browning' of America", it is a "done deal":
"For those who fear the “browning” of America or the loss of some Anglo-Saxon 'cultural' identity, all I can say is, sorry. Between now and 2050, the vast majority of population growth will come from racial minorities. By 2050, the America that many on the right are so nostalgic about will be a thing of the past."
