The basis for the successful political life of any nation on earth is a common language, history and culture, which create "a people" sufficiently cohesive enough for representative democracy, its institutions and democratic values to be able to be effective.

Borders, language, culture....Michael Savage. Uh huh. I've got it. Dude, we're at the point now where an ATM asks first whether I wish to proceed in English or Spanish. It comes before my PIN number, before my account balance. Heck, why don't they ask if I like Fords or Chevys. Makes about as much sense.

From the article:It is by virtue of their organic adherence to the society of which they are a part that men build their humanity.

Right. Were it not for liberals and the huge increases in regulations upon us all, 'organic adherence' could take place, regardless of race or other distinguishing characteristics, as it would be based upon liberty-- humanity would further it's cause. Liberty being the 'glue' holding the fabric of society together. Individuals possessing little or no liberty could care less about the health of the state. They're too busy dodging tyranny.
