Last week on Fox network TV, The Pulse, The host, O'Reilly and some pro amnesty offical had a debate. I read here that the pro amnesty guy said there should be no borders and Mexico will take back the southwest. Something to that effect.

That means that as thousands of Mexicans continue to cross over the border into the United States each week, Americans could now start to cross over the border "legally" into Mexico and begin putting up homesteads there in one of Mexico's wilderness areas. This would be great for the back-to-nature types and anyone who enjoys "roughing it". After tens of thousands of Americans have done this in a particular geographic area of Mexico, they would eventually completely occupy and control that area. So as Mexican "migrants" continue to occupy and control parts of the U.S. southwest, American "migrants" could start to occupy and control parts of northern Mexico.

I've seen posts saying that all Pub candidates have been ordered by the party elites to not even talk about immigration on the campaign trail. I wouldn't doubt it either.

No doubt...Why change now?

It seems like the demographics have drastically changed over night. Where did America go?

Where did America go? Where did America go? Where did America go?

At great risk of getting torched by the more sensitive, all inclusive, big tent types...
America suffers from an affliction of success and affluence. We have kept the baggage of our British founders and believe we have a duty not to exploit any advantage, and that our superiority in economics, military, and culture make it incumbent upon us to apologize and spread that wealth to those whom we believe to be inferior.

I hate that aspect of our British heritage. It is the fundamental flaw in our national culture.

Our unrivaled wealth and strength make it easy for us to vouchsafe some bennies to the great mobs of the world. Most of this stems from the "I've got mine...Don't rock the boat...I'm so enlightened" mindset of the last half century. When America is prosporous, it is weak minded. When America is a bit uneasy about tomorrow, we have moved the earth.

Now, to "What happened to America?"
We saved the world in the '40s. The people that soldiered that war came back to their homes, got their GI Bill, tract home, war wife, and GM car. They put their feet up and declared "I've done my part" as they wolfed down their TV dinner. Their children grew up with comfort and no direction. Rather than being infused with the values that made America great, these malcontents were raised by those who "phoned it in" by age 30. It is no surprise they raised the most selfish, boorish generation in our history. We had lost our mental edge and it was passed to the next generation.

America changed from a definable nation, with heros, values, and a distinct culture, to a concept. Anyone could be an American and keep their original culture.

The Dems looked to the masses of poor around the world and saw a natural constituancy (power), and the GOP (in the minority) looked at the same people and saw cheap, unregulated labor (money). They had been in the minority almost continuously since 1933, and never thought to change. The elites don't need the political power, as they have insulated themselves with money.

In other words, America lost the will to fight for itself, and sold its future for money.

When America is uneasy about its future, the mind becomes very clear. Affluence clouds the mind. That is why I would like to see a 500 Nasdaq and a 4000 DJIA.

I believe America is past the point of no return. Absent a massive attack (much bigger than last September), America is going to coninue in its money induced haze and continue to sell its future to meet the expectations of the present.

I will not put my children in the gov't schools. I no longer believe America is worth defendig with your life. As I grow older, I am increasingly ashamed to be an American. Our greatest achievements are becoming more distant in our past. I did see the high water mark, and it was a great time to be a young man.

I wish I had an answer for my three children. I don't. America's best days are behind us, and they didn't have to be. We have retained the riff-raff of the worst nations on earth. They are not being stripped of their culture, and being infused with the American culture. They are bringing what made their dismal excuses for a country to America, and America is becoming like them.

Don't let the money fool you.

Have to agree. We went from a group of immigrants who wanted simply to be free, no matter how poor they ended up once they were here to a group that wants only material comfort and screw the freedom bit.

This morning, I was listening to an interview with the FT. Worth Little League team. They lost a pitchers' duel to a team from Louisville, and I was reminded of last year's Little League World Series.

To refresh your memories, a team from NYC had considerable success due to their star pitcher. One team they beat was from my hometown. They beat that team 1-0, and Amonte was pitching. Amonte was almost 15 years old, and well beyond the age limit for the Little League.

The immigrant adults of the "Baby Bronx Bombers" knew of this, yet still cheated other kids out of their experience.

One team they beat was a team from an affluent area west of Seattle. Had the Bainbride Island team used an illegal pitcher and beat the NYC team 1-0, there would have been a national riot. Whites around the country would have been overflowing with apologies, and calls would have been made for reparations.

But due to the lower standard we have for immigrants, we shrugged it off as "gee, isn't that cute" as we bought, hook-line-and-sinker, the excuse that Amonte did not know how old he is, because of poor record keeping in the "old country."

If the BI team had cheated, Sharpton would have chartered a flight out to Seattle so they could sink the ferry that serves the island. We all would have understood the rage.

Meanwhile, a team of nice kids from a nice place, were cheated out of the LLWS because of our tolerance of immigrant shenannigans. These kids will be cheated out of their nation for the same reason.

White guilt sucks.

It's nice to see that there are at least a few Texans out there that refuse to hide from this titanic, ever escalating crisis......

I spent half of my childhood in Washington and half in California. Texas looks like California did 17 years ago. Care to guess who will be running Texas in 2020?

Time is ticking in Texas. When are you going to flee? I'm gone very soon.

Joe, it is Miss Jennikins, and no apology is needed. I know we are both from CA, and I definitely agree with everything you have to say.

Time is ticking in Texas. I lived in California 17 years ago, and Texas looks just like California did. I believe the immigrant hordes will ruin Texas, just as they have ruined California.

I will flee Texas for the same reason.

I will say that Texas will likely avoid the punishing price of real estate, but the weather and fireants suck whale-ass.

Oh, got it.... Actually the entire southwest and the rest of the country will follow in time.....Incrementally, one town at a time, one county at a time....

Where would go, if you don't mind me asking?

Where would [we] go, if you don't mind me asking?

The northern tier. The immigrant invasion will concentrate itself in the southern tier and the metro areas. Soon, they will be everywhere, and their influence will dominate every aspect of our former culture.

I will put up with the snow, ice, and high taxes to avoid the Third-world infestation. Hopefully, the US will suffer a doozy of a recession soon, so we can finally dispense with all the PC crap and close down the border and chase out the illegals. We can then go about assimilating the occupation army of our southern tier and metro areas.

Most likely, I will just run and hope old age gets me before the immigrant mobs do. I have no answers for my children. We need more people like Buchannan, and less like Bush (I or II). If Americans want to end this destruction of our culture, I will join them. I am not about to charge the PC machine gun nest without anyone behind me.

As long as America has the "I've got mine...Don't rock the boat...I'm so enlightened" attitude, we will be weak minded about our culture. Our culture has been for sale for 4 decades.
