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.
As wardaddy states this choking on his pecan pie.
Do you enjoy speaking like a modern Marie Antoinette.
Spin it all you want, you didn't post a date of your article either. If you have a problem with what I did or did not post, go complain to the moderator and have him/her straighten this point of contention out or show us where in the Free Republic rules it says we have to post a date. All one has to do is follow the link to the article.
As far as being refuted I disagree. One could say that 9-11 defined that election so it was quite the anomaly. If 9-11 did not happen, the trend in the article in all probability would have continued. Thanks for making my argument pertaining to the date of the article.
And the Germans, especially in Pennsylvania but elsewhere as well. Even today, more Americans with European ancestry have some German ancestry. Much of that did come later, and it wasn't true during the colonial period, but there was a significant minority of Germans even then.
Of all those you listed, plus the Germans, only the English had much of history of republican government behind them. The rest adopted it after they came here, just as subsequent waves of immigrants have.
Well of course not because anyone who knows history as stated in reply #416 of this thread knows that Juan Peron has been dead for 30 years and his economic polices were well known and in modern times Pat Buchanan echoes Juan Peron's economic themes as stated in reply #416.
Where in your case you stated and implied something current in your reply #399, which have been proved wrong by the US mid term elections of 2002.
Compared to whom....Bangladesh?
Actually I am having pecan pie for lunch...my mom made it...thanks....I'll be thinking about you when it exits tomorrow morning.
Go back and read post #417. I'm the one who brought up the date so why would a coward do that? You didn't find out about it yourself because you were to lazy to go click the link and go read the whole article yourself.
Whatever Miz.
The fact still stands that in your reply #399 that you posted a snippet of an article that is not currently topical and was proved wrong by the US midterm elections of 2002, while my reply about Buchanan echoing Peronist economic themes in reply #416 still stands.
Well, then, count this as a smear effort by the papers.
