That many paleos, Pat Buchanan NOT included, seem to go beyond desiring American non-involvement in the Middle East vis-a-vis Israel and Palestine, and actually shed crocodile tears for the 'poor, oppressed Palestinians' is ridiculous, and certainly does more harm than good. Someone should remind Pat, Scott McConnel, Taki et all that the Southwest is being Palestined.
Like Europe, though, if the people therein don't start having more babies, they're going to lose it...which is another topic altogether, I suppose.
Were that Europeans and white Americans to have the birthrate of Israeli Jews: 2.5 .
Of course the absolute stat for Israeli Jews does not tell the whole story. Non-religious Ashkenazis (Eastern Europeans) have the same problem as Europeans in general. Sephardic and Mizrahi Jews tend to have more than 3 kids. Religious Jews take the commandment to be fruitful quite literally with about 5. Unfortunately Arab women have 6.
Pat's thesis in the "Death of the West" is quite valid.

Believe you me, Buchanan, Taki, and McConnell et al, are well-aware of the situation in the Southwest. Buchanan is borderline obsessed with it (a good obsession, IMO) and I will guarantee this situation is addressed frequently in the American Conservative magazine. I eagerly await Issue 1 in my mail.
