This need to throw bones, as it were, to the propagandists of the Left, who have spent three generations trying to condition Academia to what is now "politically correct," is tearing the Right apart in America. And when dysrons like Bill Kristol actually work with the New York Times--no moderate news media, it--the pattern becomes even clearer.
Let me, then, attack head on, what you seem to be saying. You would limit immigration and restraints on economic freedom, motivated by Leftwing social engineering, but you want to make it perfectly clear, that you do not like Conservatives who want to preserve their ancestral faiths, blood-lines--the ties of kith and kin--and the celebration of a common history and shared struggle. But why--other than the staccato cries of "xenophobia," "racism," "nativism," and "bigotry," which the Left uses because they have no valid argument--would you feel that way?
Since Biblical times, the greatest motivation for positive social behavior in the West, has been to pass on your values, heritage, material and spiritual achievements, etc., to your descendants. Nationality has always been about those things. It is ludicrous how many otherwise intelligent Conservatives and moderates, feel a compulsion to distance themselves from normal human motivations. It is also fatal to our cause.
If you are concerned about acts of cruelty directed against other peoples, I have no problem with that concern. I share it. But let's not put people down, who simply want to preserve the cultural and biological heritage that they were born into. That is not a rational basis to put anyone down!
