My problem with Buchanan is my feeling, echoed by Buchanan in some of his public speeches, is that if you’re not white and from northern Europe, you’re not a real American. That really turned me off. Sure, a lot of his other statements concerning a variety of subjects really irritated me, but I really resent the idea that only a certain ethnic group represents real Americans. An American is not denoted by being a member of a certain ethnic group, but by adherence to the ideals exemplied in the Declaration of Independence and the constitution. Even W. F. Buckley considered Buchanan anti-Semitic.

Also you gotta be non-Jewish. Plenty of white Jews from northern Europe.

Absolutely!

Conversely, a white natural-born citizen of northern European ancestry who doesn't adhere to these principles isn't a "real American."

Buchanan being a good example. Tom Sowell and Clarence Thomas are much better Americans than he is.

A fun way to annoy Patricia’s few remaining followers is to remind them that most folks of “northern European” descent can’t trace their family back to the Founding (not that it matters) while most Americans of African descent can. (Truthfully, that doesn’t matter either.)

I don’t care where your family’s from nor do I care about the color of your skin. I only care if believe in our country’s Founding Principles, the Declaration of Independence, and the Constitution. (In other words, if you’re an ignorant lib-—Look out!)

I’m not saying that everyone should sit around and sing Kumbaya. I’m saying everyone should sit around and sing “God Bless America”. I don’t believe in multiculturalism, I believe in everyone becoming Americans. I don’t think ANY culture is equal to American culture.

I now step off of my soap box.
