The
notion of America being “a nation of immigrants” is-- and always was-- a little
bit misleading. According to Mark Steyn, even
as late as the 1990s, the majority of the people in the United States were
descendants of those here before the Declaration of Independence. That's right,
as recently as three decades ago, most U.S. citizens were descendants of
Europeans who arrived here prior to July 4th, 1776. Now, thanks to many possibly
well-meaning but misguided Republicans, and Democrats searching for a
dependable permanent electorate, we are ever more like a nation of third world
Muslim tribes who have no familiarity with, nor fondness for, freedom, entrepreneurship,
or limited government of, by, and for the people. The bigger the government,
the smaller its citizens.
Our
ancestors once sailed here on the Niňa, the Pinta, and the Santa Maria— and, of
course, the Mayflower. But the flower of our youth has wilted, the melting pot
has been cast aside, and the liberty ship is sailing away. The shining city on
the hill is plagued with rampant crime, homelessness, sloth, dependency, and
hopelessness. The land of the free and the home of the brave is turning into
the land of the wee and the home of the depraved.
I
don’t like this any more than you do. But there is an answer to this problem
that is at once easy and hard: refuse to tolerate it! Decline to nod along with
your Aunt Karen as she recounts how the Reagan administration was good for the
rich but not so good for the poor and middle class. (Not true.) Don’t let your
professor indoctrinate you. Don’t be taken in by fake news (which is the
overwhelming majority of what gets called “news” in the mainstream media. Get
involved with local politics.
And
tell the truth. Always and no matter what, consequences be damned.
Swamp
dwellers, Democrats and Republicans alike, view The Truth as an existential
threat. Because it is. To them. But it is just what can set us
free again. Eventually. If we hold firm to our beliefs.
As I
have repeatedly noted on this site, diversity is neither a value nor a virtue.
As Steyn has repeatedly stated over the years, “diversity is where nations go
to die.”
The
choice is clear: we can be a nation of (illegal) immigrants or a nation of
citizens. If we choose the former, we won’t be a nation much longer, period.
