Associated Press Claims Western U.S. Becoming Solidly Democrat

Frederic Bastiat, 1801 - 1850

The A.P. has an article that claims the western United States is slowly moving leftward.  Without a doubt, Hispanic immigration is fueling that trend.

When the U.S. becomes yet another burnt-out socialist cesspool like much of Europe, where will people go who want to stay free?  Where can anyone escape the coming financial collapse?

The Democrats even have a plan to turn Texas blue.  What a ghastly thought.

Alas, those who promise free stuff will always win over the masses, it seems.  Keep charging up the federal credit card to buy free stuff in exchange for votes from people who can't see beyond next week, nor are smart enough to balance their own checkbooks.

Perhaps the tides of history are against us.  No, let's reword that.  The tides of human nature are against us.  In general, people will always take the easy way out, or at least what they perceive to be the easy way out.  Instant gratification will always win out over delayed gratification.  Live for today and let tomorrow take care of itself.

Understanding of complex issues takes work, like understanding how the economy works and wealth is created.  Bumper sticker slogans and talking points will do instead.

What do we do now?  Beats the hell out of me.

The Day After Christmas: Watching "Sons of Anarchy" Episodes on TV; Memories of Stockton

My youngest son and his girlfriend and puppy are here for the holidays. With rain pouring outside, we have been watching multiple episodes of "Sons of Anarchy." It's about a motorcycle gang in San Joaquin County, near Stockton, California, where I lived as a child, from 4th through 7th grade, before moving to San Jose.

Stockton was a great town back then, in the mid 1950's. It was a quiet, rural area, where we felt safe taking the bus downtown to see a movie, though we were not yet in our teens. Not so today, as Stockton is now a high crime area. My niece was robbed at gunpoint there some months ago, on the street.

Why is this true? I don't really know, but suspect our changing racial demographics have a lot to do with it -- fewer white people is not a good thing and it's time we admitted this non-PC fact of life. There were no drug-dealing gangs in Stockton when I was a kid -- or if there were, they kept out of sight.

The Demise of White America

Recently it was disclosed in the news that white births in America are now less than 50% of all births.  Many conservatives find this fact depressing, as do I.  I am far from a "white supremacist" or "white centrist," but I find myself struggling to understand the far-reaching implications of white decline.

Around 1965 the left changed America's immigration policy to allow in far more non-whites, thus setting in motion long-term demographic change in the United States.  The America I grew up in was overwhelmingly white, or "European-American" if you prefer the polite term.  Today we can foresee a time when white people will be a minority in America.

I think there is a Marxist component to this managed change in our demographics, changing the population and its basic political beliefs, its long held culture, so that a new, emerging demographic might be more open to radical changes in the American system of government.  If the population wouldn't hear of these changes, then you simply change the population.  It's worked before, particularly in China, where conquered or dissident regions are simply bred out of existence.  Move in a few million Chinese and in a generation or two, the old population has been effectively subsumed.  I understand the Chinese are now doing that to Tibet, engulfing it slowly the way a Boa constrictor swallows and assimilates a rabbit, through Chinese immigration therein.

In centuries past, many Muslim populations were once Christian, Jew or Hindu.  The Muslim invaders who conquered those regions did not win over the hearts and minds of the newly conquered.  However, they did win over the hearts and minds of the generations that followed.  The old populations were simply bred out of existence.  They were replaced.

However, the truth is that culture is the real target here.  There is nothing inherent in the genes of Asians, Arabs, Hispanics, East Indians or other minorities that compel them to embrace collectivism and strong central governments.   However, many migrate from countries where these things are a concrete fact, and the immigrants less reticent to accept such change in their newly adopted home.  Many come from countries and cultures outside of western traditions, values and beliefs.  The tolerance for large scale immigration of Muslims in Europe is undoubtedly the most disastrous for the long-term survival of western civilization -- not because of the immigrants' race, but because of their customs, traditions and beliefs, all of which are hostile to western values of constitutional government, free markets and pluralism.

That is why liberals enthusiastically accept Hispanic immigration, legal or not.  They surmise, quite correctly, that these immigrants will vote for the Democratic Party.

The real enemy, however, is white people themselves.  Not because they are inherently evil as many radical Hispanics and blacks want to believe, but because we are breeding ourselves out of existence.  Whites are not reproducing themselves.  Whites are no longer having babies like they did in past decades.

The goal for me is not racial purity -- we are all human beings.  To me the goal, probably unachievable, is to graft western values -- republican, constitutional, limited government and capitalism -- onto populations that have not previously valued these ideas and institutions.

If that could happen then all peoples and races would be subsumed...by freedom.

Population Control Nonsense from the Frozen North

Canada's National Newspaper has called for limiting all families to one child, i.e. to follow the China model of population control.  The Canadian Financial Post claims (but does not support their claim) that:

The world's other species, vegetation, resources, oceans, arable land, water supplies and atmosphere are being destroyed and pushed out of existence as a result of humanity's soaring reproduction rate.

What soaring reproduction rate?  Recent studies have shown that Europe and other regions, i.e. Russia and Japan, are presently committing demographic suicide with reproduction rates that are well below replacement levels.  The United States is staying even at about 2 births per married couple, and that is only because of immigration from Mexico.  In Canada, the birth rate is only 1.6 births per couple and Canada's population would be declining except for Muslim immigration.  Like Europe, Canada is committing demographic and cultural suicide.

Populations are increasing in some third world countries and throughout the Islamic world; however, it is doubtful that those countries will enact draconian population controls based on some Canadian's theories.  Indeed, Europe and Russia are in danger of becoming Islamic over time as surging Muslim birthrates replace the current "infidel" populations.  Europe and Russia need higher domestic birth rates, not less, or their societies will gradually be replaced.

Naturally, the Canadian's suggested "cure" for our non-existent population growth is (surprise!) greater government control over our individual lives.  The Financial Post explains:

For those who balk at the notion that governments should control family sizes, just wait until the growing human population turns twice as much pastureland into desert as is now the case, or when the Amazon is gone, the elephants disappear for good and wars erupt over water, scarce resources and spatial needs.

More unproven nightmare scenarios.  What's wrong with these simplistic predictions is that they always fail to take cause and effect into account.  Humanity is adaptable to changing conditions; things will not proceed just as they are until on some day far into the future when , overnight, the pasturelands have all been transformed into deserts.  The author of this sophomoric scribbling doesn't begin to make his case.  He gives no demographic data, fails to establish any connection between population levels and pasturelands-to-deserts, disappearing elephants, etc, and draws conclusions not supported by his weak dissertation.

Here's a real downer for you to digest.  Strategies must be devised to avoid a new dark ages and the replacement of Western Civilization with barbarism.

Thanks for this link is due to my French friend Aimée Khayat, a French Jew who is involved in a nonstop battle to inform the world of the Islamic threat.  Thanks Aimee, you are a good friend.
