Immigrants used to be come Americans. Now that has changed.

Oh, come on now. Second and third generation immigrants literally freak out their parents. How many Sushi cars have you seen in the last week with a big ole muffler going, "Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"? Big mac or two, a bit of pop music, denim, and they become Americans. I spent way to much time in Vancouver BC. There was a MASSIVE Hong Kong immigration wave in the late 80's and these Chinese kids all look like they're Samoan, if ya know what I mean.

The last group that tried to use brutal and savage total war on the American civil population was the American Plains Indians. They were able to take advantage of the US lack of troops on the frontier during the Civil War. Once the war was over, the US concentrated on the Indian problem. Payback was brutal. Islamic fanatics take heed to this part of US history. If Americans are brutualized, they can be very brutal. Ask the American Indians if you do not believe that.

Here's a link to the Weekly Standard article: How We Lost the High-Tech War of 2007.

I searched for the author's name on Google and found a presentation by the guy to AFCEA (?) Argentina: Sometimes the Dragon Wins. I haven't read the whole thing but he discusses the WS article in detail.

Thanks for the links.....Stay Safe !

Materialism and obesity is not assimilation.

But, man does it ever fuel capitalism! I'm second generation and I'm FAR more patriotic than any friends or co workers. Stop, actually, I'm first generation, 9 months old when the airplane dropped us off from Sverige.

So when are the Canadians going to add the next 3 or 4 most popular foreign languages to all consumer products? People think traffic is bad in Seattle...

Actualy I never considered the English, Scottish, Germans or Europeans as barbarians. Did I miss something?

[mikegi]

I think our elite lack the will to fight, though.

Bush, Rumsfeld, and crew are different than the elite. My father is an excellent judge of character and he has plenty of faith in them, especially Bush (and we are normally cynical people). I doubted his judgement on this after 9/11 but the war in Afghanistan was fought cleverly.

Still, as I've said since 9/11, I want to see us sending out hit squads to kill the AQ and their supporters (bankers and businessmen). Totally deniable but done in a way that let's everyone know that they're being hunted - ie. leave a gruesome calling card behind by carving the bodies a certain way, etc. Use every dirty trick in the book to terrorize the terrorists.

The Romans did.

Insanity! Just today, I volunteered at my church's bishop's storehouse to pick food and deliver it for the needy. Since I'm a regular, I noticed the products were changing. All of the canned goods used to be from the US canneries of my church but now there were local Canadian brands. It turns out the Canadian government BANNED my church's products just because the cans lacks labels in FRENCH! I was shocked and annoyed, these products aren't sold but given to the needy for FREE. So now, my church has to pay four to six times more for the same product that it gives away for FREE, just because of an idiotic requirement. If my church complies and changes the label to include French, the recipient won't have the nutritional information label. Why? Because there's no room!

If my church discontinues its welfare program, many will either go hungry or be a greater burden on the regular welfare program of the government. Brilliant, non?

One way to rapidly diminish the influence of those leftists wishing to destroy America would be to assassinate reporters, journalists and editors who are giving aid and comfort to the enemy in times of serious threat to the survival of the nation, when they create reports designed to sap America's will to win. After a few dozen takeouts, the rest of the leftist media elites will take note and will cease producing materials that are destroying the nation.

Another option would be for the president to declare martial law and round up and execute all those who are striving to destroy the US and the constitution during a life-and-death struggle to survive.

I just love the two ferry boats in Tsawassen. What, a billion spent? Never to be used? Ah, Canada.

The country is a shining example of what happens when the loony left has full control.

[John Lenin]

This plan can only work if we have a weak commander in cheif who is afraid to use a few nukes on high impact targets, like Syria, Iran and than the threat if they don't stop, Mecca.

[Edward Watson]

So true. Now the latest is they're going to increase the price rates because the subsidies of the current old ferries for the unprofitable routes is getting out of hand. They're STILL talking in the billions. Why they don't just put a bridge and tunnel system in I'll never know.

[ASOC]

OR

We were winning until they unleashed the hellstorm of enhanced radiation weapons, killing all - innocent and gulity alike - but leaving the resounces untouched.

As I write this, I am the last of my race, the remaning true believer, dying of radition sickness and cursing the day my Mullahs were born....

even stranger ending 'eh? We are talking fiction here - right?
