In 1960, when JFK defeated Nixon, America was a nation of 160 million, 90 percent white and 10 percent black, with a few million Hispanics and Asians sprinkled among us.
We were one nation, one people. We worshipped the same God, spoke the same English language, studied American history and English literature, honored the same heroes, read the same books, watched the same TV shows, went to the same movies and saw ourselves as defenders of Western civilization against the godless communism of the Soviet Empire.
We were confident and proud of who we were. That was yesterday. But due to the Immigration Act of 1965 and the cultural revolution of the '60s, that America is now gone forever. And as one studies the latest projections of the Census Bureau, the America of our grandchildren will be another country altogether, a nation unrecognizable to our parents, a giant Brazil of the North.
In 2050, there will be three times as many people living here as in 1960 -- 420 million. White Americans will be a minority, 49 percent, and falling. Hispanics in the United States, more than 100 million, will be equal to the population of today's Mexico. Our Asian population will be almost as large as our African-American population today.
By countries of origin, America will be a Third World nation. Our cities will look like Los Angeles today. Los Angeles and the cities of Texas, Arizona and California will look like Mexico City.
Writing in Foreign Policy, Harvard Professor Samuel Huntington, author of Who We Are, raises an alarm about the huge infusion of Hispanics into the Southwest, and for many reasons.
Much of this mass immigration is illegal. Vast numbers are coming here only to work. They are not assimilating. They do not want to become Americans. They are concentrating in states bordering Mexico, which is their country and a nation with a historic grievance against us. They are holding on to their language and culture, creating a Hispanic nation within our nation. By 2050, there will be scores of millions of people living here whose loyalty is to a foreign country.
Moreover, as multiculturalism has captured our schools and colleges, immigrant children will have prejudices and grievances against America and the West reinforced as they learn. The academic elite that controls these schools already paints America as a nation with a rancid history of genocide, slavery, racism, oppression and imperialism.
Is the Census Bureau future the future that Americans wish? No. Are they willing to risk it for their grandchildren? No.
Why, then, does that future appear inevitable?
Answer: Though a majority of Americans wish to preserve the land they grew up in for their children, our elites -- political, academic, cultural and corporate -- are either unwilling to conserve that America or indifferent to its disappearance.
Most Americans want immigration cut back and all illegal aliens sent back. Why is the will of the majority, expressed in polls and referenda, not reflected in law or policy? Because we no longer live in a democratic republic; we are ruled by a managerial elite.
America's corporate elites want an endless supply of cheap labor. Our judges throw out popularly enacted laws to which they object. Our academic elites work to see ''white, racist America'' disappear. Our neo-Marxist cultural elites wish to be the gravediggers of the West and of Christian culture. And America's conservative party, the Republican Party, believes that Hispanics hold the key to retention of presidential power and is anxious not to offend Mexican President Vicente Fox.
If, by 2050, the America we grew up in has become a Tower of Babel of squabbling minorities that is falling apart, it will be because of the treason of the elites, and our lack of will to overthrow them.
That would be two or more fortune-tellers, right? Or would you call them "media?" Come on, this is 21st century America. There's no need to enforce old, outmoded rules. Everyone ought to be able to make up their own rules of language and everything else. What are you, some kind of word Fascist? :)
People from India are "white" yet I've seen some who are darker than people who call themselves "black". There isn't really such a thing as race --- race or color is a spectrum but a spectrum that goes off in all directions.
How else could we 'splain Linda Ronstadt, my favorite songstress.
Actually the vast majority of the immigrants to the US are Christian.
But they aren't the correct shade of color for Buchanan. These people are for the most part hardworking family oriented people and people like Buchanan with his intense hatred pushes them into the patronizing arms of Hillary and the demos.
Again no wonder Pat still has a seat in the liberal media. he does half their job for them.
Ditto that.
Nineteen years ago (i.e., about a month after the Bitburg fiasco) at a party in Germany, a classmate tried that "elite soldier" line about his father, a member of the Waffen-SS. I immediately nailed him on the Battle of the Bulge. I didn't (and still don't) know the German phrase for "Battle of the Bulge," but I knew the German for, "The Waffen-SS murdered hundreds of our POWs in the Ardennes."
I have to add, that I've always believed that Reagan would never have screwed up like that, had he been a real soldier, like Jimmy Stewart or Glenn Ford or Ted Williams, instead of a member of the propaganda film unit.
I blame it on the Tango
Actually, IMO, it the socialist/nationalist mentality of one of Buchanan's hero's, Juan Peron, that has Argentina in the economic doldrums.
As much as immigration is costing us and changing our culture to the bad ---- we can be grateful it's not the white ones from Mexico coming over --- they're the worst and since they rule that country, you can blame them for the way it looks. Although I'm not sure if every white elite was exiled tomorrow that Mexico would be able to become a non-corrupt first rate country --- the corruption is at every level and in every group.
I'm surprised by your reaction. It's almost Buchanan-like (traditionalist). I was under the impression that we tried not to make sexist distinctions here. ;o)
