You wrote: "As surely as Rome fell from internal rot, America faces the utter disintegration of its institutions." This was all foreseen almost 200 years ago:

In 1838, a young Abraham Lincoln spoke thus:

"All the armies of Europe, Asia and Africa combined, with all the treasure of the earth (our own excepted) in their military chest; with a Buonaparte for a commander, could not by force, take a drink from the Ohio, or make a track on the Blue Ridge, in a trial of a thousand years."

"At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide."

Maybe 100 years from now the Latino States of America will look upon George Bush as their Simon Bolivar.

I cannot tell you how sad I am by the dreadful prospect in what is happening to my country.

Domestically, the specter of the loss of our sovereignty, our institutions, our democracy, and our culture is appalling. Internationally, we are increasingly isolated and, as unrestrained immigration leads to a Democrat majority at home, we will inevitably join the ranks of appeasers in a bootless effort to evade the wrath of islamo fascists.

When the terrorists detonate an atomic bomb in the heartland, where will the patriots be? We will have no sense of nation and will disintegrate into a tribal stew seeking accomodation at the expense of the rest.

Unrestrained immigration plays directly into the hands of those who would abolish the nation state. They see America as the greatest obstacle to that end. Unrestrained immigration is the end of sovereignty and the end of the American experiment.

Nah, more like five...maybe ten.

Bolivar? Maybe Fulgencio Batista. Guess who came after him....
