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.
So they can enjoy the benefits of affirmative action, hate crime legislation, and so forth? Gee, that sounds like child abuse.
How very amusing! Have you considered going on tour? I'm sure that your comedic routines would be memorable!
And Christianity is a non-Euro descended religion. Huh what's that big building called St. Peter's in Rome for anyway.
Like I said before with your attitude you send these Christian, hard working, family oriented people into the patronizing arms of Hillary and the demos, because you are hung up about their skin color.
Ding, ding, ding. We have a winner! Silliest post of the thread.
The liberal media loves Buchanan, because his racist fatalist views is the perfect template of what the liberal media wants to show the American rightwing to be.
Pat Buchanan of today would put up signs "Hispanics need not apply".
There are only about a gazillion differences in the circumstances 1840 vs. the present and only the developmentally disabled would attempt to compare them.
That's the bad thing about Mexico --- the white elites rule it and are very greedy and corrupt but if every last one of them exiled to Europe today, I'm not sure the country would be much better off or any less corrupt or any more fair. Before the Mexican Revolution they had a Oaxacan Indian --- Porfirio Diaz -- for president and the Zapata and Villa with the Indians and campesinos helped run him off to Spain.
Wow, using all Caps and shouting.
That still doesn't get through to you losing the arguement.
BTW, Argentina is practially all pure white as the wind driven snow, and their economy is in the doldrums also, due to years of Peronism.
I do not wish to see the US follow the lead of one of Buchanan's hero's, the nationalist/socialist Juan Peron.
Ha ha. You joke. Israel is the Jewish nation. The United States is not the "white nation." Never has been.
Figures don't lie but ... well, you know.
Take out the latin-americans and see what ratio you get.
Now, that's hard to argue against.
Geez - it's not like you live in Los Gatos, Torie - you were only visiting the Brew Pub, and...
Oh, that other San Jose.
Never mind.
???? huh!
