I’m ahead of the curve. I’m dirt poor and I know what’s important.

I've been there friend. No way to go but up!

Honestly I think I prefer being poor. I just wish I didn’t have to struggle in the process.

I have faith God is setting about to humble our Nation for His purposes.

Hard to disagree with that, knowing that Obama or Romney will be our next president.

There were native indians all over Texas. We just call them “hispanic” now.

Um, you know that the Indians native to Texas pretty much have nothing historically in common with "Hispanics," right?

A personal liberty platform would work wonders. Of course, that would entail diminshed numbers and influence for government, so the Geriatric Old Plotters are NOT going to go in that direction.

Unfortunately conservative evangelicals are almost as bad as liberals in their small families and high divorce rates.

That's odd, because conservative Evangelicals actually tend to have more kids on average, and have lower divorce rates than the national average.

My problem with the article - Hispanics are mostly genetically White. Once this is recognized as a truth - it changes everything.

You sure about that?

People on welfare may want less regulation, but not lower taxes or less benefits.

Third world dominance over white America will mean far more than the death of the Republican party. The “flash mobs” robbing stores, increasing black attacks on whites; third world stupidity precluding the Third Worlders from earning money, thus increasing the envy they feel. The aforementioned all presage the violence to come. Tragically whites now exhibit a total physiological inability to resist the assaults and demands of blacks and other Third Worlders. In short, we are passing out of history and probably in a generation the few remaining whites will be violently shoved out.

Compromise destroyed the GOP long ago. It’s in its death throes.

Thank you. You expressed my thought 100%. Perfect.

Not. There are American Indians and Indians from M exico and Central America. The former have a largely asiatic genesis, as opposed to the latter.

Yep, stupid self hating whites who can only think to apologize after they’ve been raped. Truly mind boggling people.

‘Hispanic’ was a term coined by the Nixon administration as a way for the GOP to a ‘have’ a group that could rival African Americans. As a member of the Nixon dam, Buchanan is very familiar with this concept.
Hispanics can be of Native American origins, African, Spanish or Portuguese descent, Asian or a mixture of the above. The best strategy is breaking people of this mythical mentality of being Hispanic. What we need is a movement that de-emphasizes race and ethnic origin.

Much of this started with the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 (Hart-Celler Act, INS, Act of 1965, Pub.L. 89-236) which abolished the National Origins Formula that had been in place in the United States since the Immigration Act of 1924. It was proposed by United States Representative Emanuel Celler of New York, co-sponsored by United States Senator Philip Hart of Michigan and heavily supported by United States Senator Ted Kennedy of Massachusetts.

The 1965 act marked a radical break from the immigration policies of the past. In order to convince the American populace - the majority of whom were opposed to the act - of the legislation's merits, its liberal proponents assured that passage would not influence America's culture significantly...Edward Kennedy, hastened to reassure the populace that the demographic mix would not be affected; these assertions would later prove wildly inaccurate. [excerpted from Wikipedia]

Can't put that toothpaste back in the tube...nation is irreparably and permanently changed.

The answer to Presidential elections is simple.

At the state level, change the apportioning of presidential electors from a winner take all system to the selection of individual electors from individual congressional districts.

It’s already being done in Nebraska, and in some states would dilute the disproportionate influence of large cities over the balance of the population.

Consider how ballot stuffing in Chicago now overrides the vote of rural Illinois, how Gary overrides rural Indiana, how Detroit overrides rural Michigan, and how a different electoral structure would re-balance that. Then look to key swing states like Ohio and Pennsylvania, and see what a different country we could become with a few small changes.

The comparison is apt.
Barbarian populations grew to be much larger than that of Rome itself, to the point where it could field a competent army against its foes.

In California the GOP has been immigrated out of existence.

A process helped along by assorted dimwits in charge of the Stupid Party.

And thank you for the post. It’s good to know that there’s at least one other person out there in accord with me.
