Has the West the will to survive?
WND ^ | June 21st, 2018 | Patrick J. Buchanan

Posted on 06/21/2018 8:13:50 PM PDT by Mariner

“If you’re … pathetically weak, the country is going to be overrun with millions of people, and if you’re strong, then you don’t have any heart, that’s a tough dilemma. … I’d rather be strong.”

So said President Donald Trump, on issuing his order halting the separation of children from parents caught breaking into the country. Trump’s enemies are celebrating a victory. Yet the issue remains.

Under U.S. law, teenagers and tots cannot be detained for more than 20 days and must be held in the least-restrictive facilities. But if the children cannot be separated from the parents as they await trial, both will have to be released to keep families together.

We are back to “catch and release.”

When that welcome news hits Central America, the migrant stream moving north will become a river that never ceases to flow.

The questions America and the West face might thus be framed:

Is there a liberal, progressive, Christian way to seal a 2,000-mile border, halt millions of migrants from crossing it illegally and send intruders back whence they came? Or does the preservation of Western nations and peoples require measures from which liberal societies today reflexively recoil?

Does the survival of the West as a civilization require a ruthlessness the West no longer possess?

Consider what our fathers did to build this country.

No, Pat. You don’t see the problem.

Pat see it all too well. When all boils down to is rough men with weapons willing to defend what's theirs.

It's coming.

You are exactly right.

Political correctness is the language and culture that is killing the West. It has infected all our institutions, public and private.

Eastern Europe is fighting back. Poland and Hungry come to mind.

Don’t really think so anymore.

We generally don’t have the will to be straight, to get sleep, to stay married, to let babies in the womb live, to be healthy, to stop invaders, to fix our own stuff, to buy quality American goods, to know truth, to admit sin, to praise God.

We do and we will; but Eurostan does not. We will eventually have to fight the Eurostan Muslims for our survival. We will win that fight.

Liberals here won’t admit it, but they are willing to let ANYBODY into USA unconditionally as long as they vote for Democrats; all under the guise of moral superiority. If hordes of young Republicans were suddenly storming our borders they would change their tune pronto and the Wall would be erected in six months.

Wrong.

His question was about the will to survive.

The will to survive hasn’t changed. Not in the least.

What’s happened is distortion of information.

Where are the actions that demonstrate that will? Since 1990 we have brought in 35 million LEGAL PERMANENT IMMIGRANTS, which is equivalent to the current population of Canada. 87% of the legal immigrants are minorities as defined by the USG. Immigrants and minorities vote more than two to one Dem. Within a decade, the Dems will be the permanent majority party. By 2019, half of the children 18 and under will be minorities. By 2043, non-Hispanic whites will be 50% of the population, down from 89% in 1970 and 63% today. Demography is destiny.

No this was his question:

While our forefathers would not have hesitated to do what was needed to secure our borders and expel intruders, it is not a settled matter as to whether this generation has the will to preserve the West.

Our borders remain open; we have 12 to 20 million illegal aliens in our midst; we bring in 1.1 million legal permanent immigrants annually; and one political party wants to maintain the status quo along with a significant percentage of the other political party.

It may already be too late to stem the tide. This country will be lost thru the ballot box. The Dems have won the popular vote in six out the last seven presidential elections.

There is an absolute full court press by the Elites to destroy our identify, our culture, and our exceptionalism.

We in the West and specifically Americans are the only thing preventing them from enacting a totalitarian one world government.

It’s not just the guns they fear, but the will to use them.

Every single image and message on TV is in support of this goal of letting us know we are not special. The Alarm company commercials, where it’s always white criminals, comes to mind, as well as the casual messages that white people should marry nonwhite people as the norm.

The “chains of PC” were created by communists as part of a long-term strategy to overthrow the West. The root cause of this isn’t PC. PC is just the main tool in their arsenal to destroy Western Civilization and to disguise it as “fairness” and “equality.”

Today, there isn’t a Central Committee in the Soviet Union controlling groups all over the world. Instead we have thousands of splinter and offshoot leftist groups worldwide coordinating without any strong central control, but, acting in concert, this confederation is wiping out the West more effectively than the Soviet nuclear arsenal ever did.

It works because these independent actors outlasted the Soviets. The same Marxists the Central Committee ordered infiltrate Academia are still there. They will die of course, but they have raised a new generation of Commies, and they will educate and raise yet another, etc. The seeds of the Soviet Union, doing as they were supposed to.
