I see him saying that he is alarmed about America no longer having the same culture that it once had. I did not read the article sadly but I share that view emphatically. In fact, that is my major beef with illegal immigration aside from the immediate practical concerns. I know of no nation or culture in history to have surrendered so easily as ours nor to think that surrendering is wonderful and the "right thing". We have many on what is arguably the largest conservative site in the USA cheering on the demise of our founding culture....that says plenty doesn't it?

Hey, Arabs are white by the definition of the U.S. Census- why isn't Europe thriving by the influx of millions of white Arabs? They are the same race as Europeans.

If the immigrants are legal and wish to assimilate, I would suggest that most current citizens would have not problem with Mexican immigrants. You're right, it's the invasion of illegal aliens that is resented. Most Mexican-Americans resent them too, because they're taking jobs away by working for peanuts.

IMO, the data articulated by Pat is correct ... the numbers of white and non-white, for instance.
If that's true, and the comparison of now vs. 40 years ago is also true ... one would have to determine if there is value in contemplatinmg the prospect of increasing or decreasing those numbers.
This is the thought pattern of the policy makers.
Given we are supposed to be represented in government and not dictated to, we are then forced to recognise that the imigration pattern is not in sync with the desires and expectations of those of us whom claim to be American.
An argument can be made (and often is) regarding the definition of an American, thereby clouding the original point of discussion, which was a statement regarding the ethnic and racial make-up of America.
All that being said ... I think discourse amongst ourselves should be better directed towards idea sharing and opinion rather than the socialist tactic of saying Pat's a nut.
Don't you agree?

White Americans will be a minority, 49 percent, and falling. Pat said it; not me. He could have said that X percent by X date will hew to Western European cultural norms or something; he did not. Pat is a color coder.

Pat Buchanan seems to be wistfully sighing throughout this piece, wishing for the Lily-White America, devoid of anu pesky minorities.
I'd say this article is the clearest example of the racism he's often accused of.

Blind to history? Where are you from? My father's family emigrated over here from Italy and the establishment of the day said the same thing about Italians to the point of discrimination that many black people had better living conditions. So some of us 'Pat bashers' are not coming from a knee jerk reaction. Whatever.

There are plenty....The "Stans", Albania, The Arab World, Iran,.....are you seeing a pattern here yet Torie?
Argentina has only themselves to blame....they should have been First World long ago. Chile is almost First World in my view...as is Costa Rica....both are rather White Hispano nations btw same as Argentina which is the "whitest" nation in Latin America.
Can you think of a non-white First World nation aside from Japan or Singapore or South Korea? I can't.

Must be you are reading a different version than mine.Pat wrote: If, by 2050, the America we grew up in has become a Tower of Babel of squabbling minorities that is falling apart, it will be because of the treason of the elites, and our lack of will to overthrow them.
To: Lazamataz
When Pat realizes that "you people" are included in that measly little 49%, he must really get depressed. :)

Well .. if that's your logic .. then why does the world hate us ..?? Wasn't the libs' logic that it was because we were white and rich. If Pat says we're no longer that type of country - then what is the problem with the rest of the world ..??
Pat's logic escapes me!

Taiwan, Thailand rapidly coming on, Tunisia not far behind, and China and India in the wings. I agree with you about Chile, but not Costa Rica. Uruguay is another white disappointment. And then we have Serbia.

What does color have to do with culture? Pat is the one that brought it up with his article title. Anyone that lays wreathes for dead nazis, talks about amen corners, and speaks out against the war on terrorism the way he has is a bit off.

Pat has a point about illegal immigration and assimilation vs. multiculturalism.
People say that what happened in Beirut was a shame because, in the past, it was a shining example of a diverse, multicultural city.

If Costa Rica isn't first world, then you must have a pretty strict definition. Or maybe you haven't been there lately.
