Dear Sister,

Demographics are not racist. They are numbers. I grant you that Pat Buchanan (and I) are definitely at least somewhat 'ethnocentric,' in that we seem to agree that Western Christian European Civilization is preferable to other cultures. Furthermore, we strive to promote and protect it, because it seems preferable to us.

The only proof I can offer is that WCC is the only world culture that actively tolerates concepts from others. Diversity, for example, is prized nowhere else.

Buchanan also understands the difference and relationship between "Demographics,' and 'Psychographics,' that is, the very mind-set that makes Westerners Westerners, is being overwhelmed by numbers. Previous waves of immigration were based on a concept of gradual assimilation of various European stocks. Since 1965, we have opened the borders to other peoples who outnumber Europeans by factors of a 100. It took 3 Million Irishmen 100 years to get here. Unrestrained, the Mexicans, Indians, Chinese, Indonesians, Phillipinos could each send 3 Million a month with no trouble at all. This many people can never be assimilated and turned to the ways of Western tolerance and democracy.

You have no idea of Third World birth rates. For example, I worked in East Africa when Kenya was a paradise with 4 Million people. Now, 25 years later, it's a hellhole with 35 Million. In the meantime, European birthrates have fallen below '0' in many countries.(Ireland, God Bless Her, being a welcome exception.)

In other words, Sister, your feminist progeny is going to have a lot more to resist in the next 100 years. Buchanan's book, which you really ought to read, was foreshadowed by Spengler's "Decline of the West." What really bothers me, and apparently Buchanan, however, is best expressed in Skinner's "Beyond Freedom and Dignity."

Resisting old European-biased white men might be a hell of a lot of good fun for parlor feminists, but at least stop and consider your targets, not to mention the fate of women in the world to come. As bad as we euro-chauvinists are, women fare far worse in the other cultures that are poised to overwhelm and replace us.

Parlor feminist? Are you referring to me?

If you have deduced that I am a feminists because of my screen name...you are wrong.

I use that screen name because after 26 years of marriage, being a stay-at-home mom, who has home schooled our two youngest children, and with the support of my husband - I have gone back to college to earn a degree in Electronic Engineering. So, when I joined FR...I was in the middle of learning about electronic resistors...and because I am one of the few women in any of my classes...I took the name ResistorSister as a pun; so laugh.
