America no longer white, united, English-speaking

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.

They SHOULD. They're mob rackets and most are used for money laundering and tax shelters anyway. Good riddance. Building a revenue on the shifting sands of the gambling business isn't smart.

Indians come from India ;-P

Iron Cross does not mean nazi... overreaction on their part. They don't know what they are looking at. Iron Cross is a lot older than ole Adolf, by about one hundred years.

[cyborg]

BTW, how would they know you are racist if they don't speak to you? If I saw someone with such a sticker I would think they read Iron Horse Magazine or something.

It was inspired by the Kill Switch episode of X Files.

[Cronos]

As is the Swastika. Ado really was a nutter, but a charismatic nutter!

Well... if they are halfway nice, I would advise not discussing politics although sometimes it's hard to keep one's mouth shut. It's good to be on civilized terms with one's neighbor. Having said that, insensitivity can easily be confused with being racist if one goes by the liberal definition of racist. I've been called insensitive and racist before, but that was during a very heated roundtable discussion on 'diversity'. Such is life.

I am voting for Bush. I don't want Kerry for President. I will leave this country I think if he wins.

[Cronos]

voting for Bush

Yes. Like the tagline? It IS cryptic but gets the point across (well to me at least!). I think the President has a good understanding of the issues and is driven to find a real solution, not a whitewash solution. I shudder to think of what life would have been like if Kerry had been President during 9/11....

One has to have charisma to deceive so many people but just like every other dictator he had a lot of poor frustrated people. That makes for a very willing audience. BTW, I think giving Leni Riefenstahl an oscar was so racist, more than anything Pat Buchanan on his worst day can say. The liberals have perpetual foot-n-mouth disease.

[cyborg]

Until a viable third party candidate presents himself, at this point I'd have to stick with Bush. There's little difference between the two, but I rather have republicans than democrats in office. The pubbies would be a bit slower in selling the USA down the river.

What and how, that is true, but using the word white, and describing the failure of Mexican Immigrants to assimilate, due to their large influx, is not a critcism of their race. It is a critic of the immigration model we are using, namely everybody come...now. It is like inviting more people to dinner than you have seats at the table for. It just occurred to me, PB probobly didn't write the headline. Editors usually do that. Wouldn't matter if he did, though.

enjoyed the exchange... enjoy the sleep
