Updated: A New Kind of Conquest

America, IMMIGRATION

I’ve begun reading Paul Johnson’s A History of the America People, and tracing the routes the first colonists took, using my large globe. Walter Raleigh: now there’s a “proto-American” clichésman of action distinguished in his courage, vision, energy, audacity (alas, cruelty), and intellect.

Speaking of colonists, there’s a new kind in town. Here are some of the intriguing facts, (collated by Human Events) highlighted in Pat Buchanan’s new book, State of Emergency, The Third World Invasion and Conquest of America:

  • Fact: our illegal population today is greater than the total number of Irish, Jewish, and British immigrants who ever came to the U.S.
  • Why the reigning Republicans ignore the law and do little or nothing to stop illegal immigration
  • How mass immigration inevitably tilts the center of gravity of American politics to the Left
  • How the numbers of Americans of European descent are rapidly decreasing — and the political and social implications
  • How Los Angeles today provides a glimpse of what all of America will be like in 2050
  • An ‘American creed’? Why those who believe that the ideas of the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Gettysburg Address hold us together as a nation are distorting or reinventing history
  • Fact: not only are arguments about the economic benefits provided by illegal aliens false, but illegal immigration also constitutes a massive drain on our economy
  • Why importing a vast diaspora from a neighboring nation so different from our own is such a hellish risk
  • How the United States Government threw up its hands and abdicated its constitutional duty to protect the states from invasion by illegal aliens over four decades ago
  • Why it is difficult, if not impossible, for cities to get control of the growing crime menace of immigrants and illegal aliens
  • John F. Kennedy and immigration: how, in 1991, the U.S. took in twelve times more immigrants than what JFK stated in the early 1960s as an acceptable annual limit
  • Bush’s guest worker plan: how it provoked a surge to the border
  • How, as Republicans dither, some Democrats are beginning to see the potency among voters of the illegal immigration issue
  • How, rather than fading away, issues of nationality long considered dead are resurfacing today
  • Why so many children of Asian-American and Hispanic immigrants are assimilating into a deadly subculture of gangs and crime
  • How even conservatives now routinely denounce as ‘racist,’ ‘nativist’ and ‘xenophobic’ anyone who argues that mass migration from the Third World risks disuniting and even destroying America

Eurabia on the rise: the devastating consequences of unrestricted immigration in Europe

Buchanan disapproves of Eurabia? Why, then, is he so eager to see Israel claimed by the same savages?

Update: Buchanan’s contradictions aside (elucidated in “Buchanan of Arabia“), his WND column today, “Prophets Without Honor” is certainly gutsy, as his book will no doubt be.

Lunatic Government Occupies Airports

America, Government, Terrorism

“[O]fficials keep telling the believing ‘Boobus Americanus’ that safety lies in pretending everyone is equally weighted in his propensity to blow up an airplane. If we were on the lookout for an abortion clinic saboteur, would we be patting down Islamists or Southern Baptist survivalists? In every other whodunit, behavioral scientists attempt to construct a criminal profile of the suspect. In the case of Islamic terrorism, however, the state won’t even use the compelling evidence it has.”

And:

“Compiling a composite of the criminals most likely to hijack an airline or blow up a building isn’t hard. Try as they may to confuse our congenitally compromised caretakers, the terrorists have seemingly been unable to recruit to their cause people with first names like Eric or Olaf and surnames like Edwards or Christensen.”

The excerpts are from this week’s column, “Lunatic Government Occupies Airports.”

Flying Free

America, Government, Individualism Vs. Collectivism, Liberty, Private Property

As travel by air becomes more tormenting, charter planes are going to become a viable option. In fact, I’d be investing in these companies now. As charter planes are used with greater frequency, more suppliers will enter the market to take care of demand. Eventually, prices will become more feasible.

Charter companies, I am sure, are putting together good packages as we speak, for business people who have to fly frequently. Or for people like me who tolerated the odd pat down, but refuse to let the Transportation Security Administration thieves steal my Rene Guinot toner and my powder compact.

I can’t afford a charter flight, but longtime reader Robert Rupard might change that. Other than his splendid reading habits, Robert is president of the charter “Wings Air“—it offers great rates. His motto: “On Wings Air, You’re Already There.” Fly with Robert, and you can avoid the mandatory molestations in the state-occupied airports. No lost Baggage either.

If you’re going to any of the destinations Robert frequents, be sure to make your reservations. Also check out my weekly column tonight, which deals with government goons gone wild in the airports. And while you’re at it, why not read a golden oldie, “Whose Property is it Anyway?”.

The Hebraic Bond

America, Israel, The West

“If lily-livered Europeans want to understand the ties between the US and Israel, they’d be better off reading Russell Kirk than the Economist. In The Roots of American Order, Kirk traced the profound influence the Hebraic faith and traditions had on the New England Puritans, who drew for sustenance and guidance on Exodus, just as they did on Kings and Romans…”
“In the prophets, in particular—from Amos to the second Isaiah—John Adams saw exemplars for American order, political and private. ‘The great prophets restrained the kings’ ambitions and constantly rebuked the king and the people for their transgressions (at great personal risk)…”
