Thread: Multiculturalism and the Collectivists

The “newâ€

The Western world is a profoundly ill society, but our problems are not yet terminal. Strategically, there are two things in America that must be done as soon as possible to begin repairing the damage.

1) Retake the schools. Even in the last fifteen years, the curriculum from kindergarden to graduate school has taken a leftward veer. My argument is not that being on the left is a bad thing in itself, but the brand of leftism that dominates our schools is very bad. Children are raised to think their society and culture are inherently, irredeemably evil. That this is cemented for years is no accident. Some educators suffer from guilt over 'the sins of our fathers'. Others have no belief in American values, but rather the so-called univeral values. The bumper stickers for 'One World, One Family' encapsulate that opinion nicely. Borders, like traditional concepts of right and wrong, are oppressive, they say.

2) Put the right people in our government. Never overestimate the power of good government. The individual still makes a difference. History has shown that decline can be reduced and even reversed when capable people are in power and working for good ends. The Byzantium Empire experienced a great revival after years of decline and military setbacks. It re-embraced its founding religious beliefs and in the process also regained a belief in themselves as a people.

Both are very important, but education of the next generation is most important of all. Yes, America has been on the wrong side of moral issues in the past, but they are nothing compared to what other nations and cultures have enacted upon the world. Our years of state-supported slavery (the most cited cause of anti-American Americans) pales in comparison to the state-supported murder and/or enslavement of 120 million people in the Soviet Union and China under communist rule. But you will read that in no school book. There is simply not enough room for that minor fact between indictments of Thomas Jefferson's ownership of slaves and the internment camps of Japanese-Americans during WW2. Of course we should judge our country and weigh the good and the bad. But when all is said and done, America will be found to be one of the most moral nations that has ever graced the earth. A side-by-side comparison of any civilization will show this.

However, the chain is only as strong as its weakest link. If our current government allows unfettered immigration as proposed in S.1638, this country will be America in name only.

Chosen,

Our inability to act (and deny the obvious) is rooted in several unfortunate truths:

1. The dangerous multiculturalist sentiment which infects our media, government, corporations, and nation is (as I see it) an attempt by this country to disavow its racist past (which started in the 60s). Unfortunately, in our nation's attempt to make amends for our past evils we have forgotten timeless truths which dictate the rise and fall of civilization. Many in this country truly believe that a common consumerist culture that eulogizes diversity is all that is needed to hold people together. This mentality has psychologically disarmed us from showing tough love in almost any form.

2. At one level our corporations and Wall Street investors are more wealthy than ever before while our government and country is more broke than ever before...and our standard of living continues to increase! Unfortunately, many powerful government lobbysts hold more sway over our politicians than the people themselves! These lobbysts formed in response to our federal governments encroaching authority over many aspects of civic life in an attempt to control and manipulate its growth. Needless to say, these lobbysts have been more than just successful.

3. The nature of civic life has changed considerably. We live (and thrive!) in an interconnected post-industrial age economy. Gone are the days of independent agrarian living where individual Americans had to literally fend for themselves and for their property. And who could blame us? Haven't we created a more efficient economy with a better standard of living for all? Personally, I am employed as a scientist working amongst PhDs in corporate America. It goes without saying that I didn't achieve that line of work by learning how to grow crops and shoot guns. It is much harder for individual Americans to stand up to a system that they can't exist without...

These reasons and more help explain the third world invasion and conquest of America (as Buchanan would put it). But remember, Americans are some of the greatest freedom loving independent people on this planet. It is within our ability to radically change in such a way as to fight for our survival (as a nation).

In fact, I believe that not only is possible but inevitable. A large segment of the U.S. hasn't given in (and won't) to Roman-style decadence.
