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.
You also won't find much positive words about them coming from MALDEF, LULAC, MEChA, Latino professors, or any of the Chicano, Mexican groups, or the Mexican government.
Huh I think with the election in 02, the number of Pubbies in the House is the same as 94.
As for the Senate, you tell me why people of mostly Scandanavian origin(North Dakota and South Dakota) send 4 democrat senators to the Senate.
No, I'm not talking about culture, I'm talking about race. Albanians do not share "dominant American culture" either, yet they are white and you do not object to Albanian immigration. Only to non-white immigration. What is difference?
Could their work ethic have anything to do with their immigration status? If you're working in the U.S. illegally, you tend to keep your head down at work, you don't cause problems, you don't complain, you don't goof off, and in general you try not to draw attention to yourself because you know that you're just one phone call away from being picked up by Immigration officials and tossed back over the border. I've worked with Mexican-Americans and their work ethic was no different than their white co-workers. They goofed off, they took longer than allowed breaks and lunches, they complained a lot, they did sloppy work, etc., just like their white co-workers.
It was interesting awhile back --- I was watching a television show being broadcast in Ciudad Juarez -- a panel discussion where they were discussing the problems of massive migration --- the overburdened schools, the hospitals, the lack of infrastructure, the pollution, the huge crime wave --- because of so many people moving up into what had been a small border town that had it's own culture and ways. People moving up from all over Mexico and Honduras and Guatemala to find jobs in maquilas, too many people for the number of jobs --- their complaints were exactly like the complaints we have about massive migration. One of the panelists made the comment that massive migration of people IS instability, it is the result of instability and it leads to instability. Even the Mexicans complain about the destruction to their own culture when too many people move in who have different cultures and traditions --- and extreme poverty -- no ability to pay their own way.
Makes sense. I think that's what most Americans are concerned about too.
Peronism is an Argentine political ideology based on the ideas and programs associated with former president Juan Perón.
Perón was a pragmatic figure, and through the course of his long career his views would frequently change. His ideology was nevertheless marked by some constants, including:
* Strong authoritarian central leadership, with strict control of opposition forces.
* Freedom from foreign influences.
* A third way approach to economics; neither communist nor capitalist, but instead incorporating some elements of both
Buchanan has called for all of those. He would use strong controls on business and is wary of foreign influences. Buchanan is not a capitalist, IMO, especially with his attacks on traditional free market Adam Smith capitalism.
This article was written prior to 9-11. President Bush's leadership after that outrage had alot to do with the wins in 2002.
Sure the elections were favorable to the Republicans in 2002 but don't act as if it was a landslide. Many RHINO's are amongest the Republican majority which explains why we're not drilling in ANWAR right now.
The problem is that the Republican Party has moved to the left just to stay in the game.
As for the Senate, you tell me why people of mostly Scandanavian origin(North Dakota and South Dakota) send 4 democrat senators to the Senate.
Fair enough. I'm not sure. Why did they vote heavily for GWB in the 2000 election?
How do you know that? Do you really think I want 50 million Russians or "WhateverStans" here either?
Like I said, a Jew in Israel lecturing me about a completely open door immigration policy.....that is rich...you have chutzpah running out your ears.
My country is not obligated to take in everyone any more than your's is. Hell, many if not most Jews will not even marry a non-Jew without conversion (not that I blame them) and you wish to preach to me about identity egalitarianism...please. Are you a racist against non-Jews? Yes, I know that sounds absurd but just as absurd as your lecturing me about do-goodery you don't (nor should) follow either.
Then why did you post it without a date, since it can be easily refuted.
