2. You leave out the loser dynamic. Even those who are proud of European and American culture already see Europe as lost. They look at the growing 5% to 10% muslim minority in Europe and simply give up. That's like a football team ahead 70-0 giving up as soon as the other team scores one touchdown. Our side may have demoralized itself, but that is not an excuse to give up and forfeit the game.
Why not start taking pride in Western culture?
Why not resume having more than 1-2 children and resume teaching them about all the good in our history and traditions?
Why not take teaching jobs in the schools to expose other children to the idea that our history and culture are overall good things?
Here he contradicts himself. In fact, the very usage of the expression, "crimes of the white man", represents a submission to the liberal view that the article rails against. And then on top of that, as a matter of form, he rejects the notion that all of his exculpatory rhetoric can exonerate him. "Take up the white man's burden --"
it’s hard to be proud of European culture.
The Origins of Political Correctness An Accuracy in Academia Address by Bill Lind

Niccolò Fontana was the son of Michele Fontana, a rider and deliverer. In 1505, Michele was murdered and Niccolò, his two siblings, and his mother were impoverished. Niccolò experienced further tragedy in 1512 when the French invaded Brescia during the War of the League of Cambrai. The militia of Brescia defended their city for seven days. When the French finally broke through, they took their revenge by massacring the inhabitants of Brescia. By the end of battle, over 45,000 residents were killed. During the massacre, a French soldier sliced Niccolò's jaw and palate. This made it impossible for Niccolò to speak normally, prompting the nickname "Tartaglia" (stammerer).
The good news:
In 1530, Niccolò Tartaglia (1500-1557) received two problems in cubic equations from Zuanne da Coi and announced that he could solve them. He was soon challenged by Fiore, which led to a famous contest between the two. Each contestant had to put up a certain amount of money and to propose a number of problems for his rival to solve. Whoever solved more problems within 30 days would get all the money. Tartaglia received questions in the form x3 + mx = n, for which he had worked out a general method. Fiore received questions in the form x3 + mx2 = n, which proved to be too difficult for him to solve, and Tartaglia won the contest.
Why don't you try a couple of these? Then swell with pride for Tartaglia and European culture!
I don’t consider England as part of Europe. :)
This is not the solution. The government schools are utterly liberal/Marxist in their orientation and are legally and officially godless. So?...What happens when conservative and religious people attempt to sneak in a little Christian morality and appreciation of Western Culture?
Answer: They teach all the children that Christian conservatives are sneaky.
Solution:
* Get you own children out of the government schools.
* Encourage your neighbor to do the same.
* Support candidates that promote privatization of universal K-12 education.
* Organize with your neighbors to support all measure that cut off funding to these Marxist government indoctrination camps.
From its very inception, the philosophy that underlies government schools is socialistic. The purpose of government education is the creation of pliable and easily manipulated masses.
Also, government schools and the First Amendment are utterly incompatible.
* As for colleges and universities, conservatives should open new colleges and universities.
* If conservatives give money to existing liberal/Marxist colleges and universities they should pool their gifts together. Large gifts can have big thick strings that demand reform.
* And...Finally, Charles Murray is right. We should move to credentialing and credentialing exams and organizations. Very little of the work done in the U.S. requires a college education.
The above is an exerpt from Lind's article and implies that Marx was "brilliant." Not in the least.

Okay....So?..What is the real underlying problem here?
Answer: Marxism.
It is the goal of the Marxist movement to demoralize and undermine Western Culture. They have slowly eating away at the foundations of our culture for more than a 100 years.
Marxism is our nation’s most serious threat. Schools are the Marxists’ most important and powerful weapon.
However I find it hard to believe that the world would be better off if the white man had never left Europe.
Consider if you will the state of Africa or Asia today , which by the way were drug into the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries kicking and screaming by Europeans.
True, we did introduce firearms to them, but eventually someone, somewhere would have figured it out.
Thank God Almighty that my ancestors where greedy, adventurous pioneers because I get to live in the greatest nation the WORLD has ever known.
Whenever I argue this point with my liberal friends/co-workers they always change the subject because they have no rebuttal, public school and all ya' know.
FLAME AWAY TROLLS.
Dittos on that!
Didn’t China introduce firearms to us? Although granted we heavily improved on their original.
The BIGGEST problem is the ennemy from within and its endless self-denigration-hatred against “western civilization”.
These enemies from within are the best allies of the islamic barbarians...
Therefore it is urgent to locate that enemies and FIGHT THEM AT LAST...
GWBUSH obviously failed in that fight and it paved the way for the OSAMABAMA’s hijacking of USA
My comment refers to the assertion that Marx was brilliant. Do you agree with this opinion? I don’t know who William Lind is (pity me) and that probably won’t change.
