Patrick JDJJoNJkJjobJulyJunejoinjust. Buchanan has proposed in several books, particularly in: "The Death of the West," and "State of Emergency," that one of the greatest problems facing the USA (and the entire Western world) is the reduction to minority status or even eventual demographic genocide of the USA's founding European population, through mass Third World immigration. Moreover, he holds that this "inevitability" need not be inevitable, if we begin to acknowledge (as a country) that massive immigration from the Third World is more of a drain on our society in socioeconomic terms, than it is a gain. He also makes the point that multiculturalism (what he largely calls the "culture war") is a fashionable leftist device to demonize white Americans and establish a cultist fetish of reducing us to a minority by 2050 or sooner, as a means of absolution for our past "racism."
I propose, that for the Republican Party to succeed in the future it must open work to preserve a white majority in this country and not cower in the face of charges of "racism," when doing so. It is not inherently wrong to wish to do such a thing; in fact it is inherently good, when one considers that most countries that do not have a stabilizing majority often devolve into conflicts and chaos over resources and political power. Please keep in mind, that this country was from 1776 through 1985 never less then 80% white. It was only after the amnesties of the 80s and 90s for illegal aliens and the ever increasing drive to allow greater numbers of Third World immigrants to enter this country legally, that we have dropped (in just two censuses, mind you) to about 76% of the population in 1990 and 69% of the population in 2000.
Today in 2008 where are we at as a total of the population? Is it something like 65% or 64%, or less? If this is "good," you must find a way to explain it to yourself first and then me, but please do us both a favor and avoid all the "diversity is our strength" nonsense. We are more diverse now than we have ever been and look what it has gotten us, an extremely liberal and inexperienced fool elected as President of the United States, simply because he was black and gave "inspiring" speeches about "hope" and "change."
If that is not an ironically macabre example of multiculturalism and electoral affirmative action in action, then I do not know what is!
While what I write may shock and disgust some, it needs saying. The fact of the matter is, there is a reason the Republican Party appeals to whites more and not to those of other racial backgrounds; whites are steeped (culturally and traditionally) in the Western concepts that made Europe great and the USA greater still. These being individualism and freedom, not excuse making and governmental handouts.
If the Republican Party refuses to grasp this since it represents the former and not the latter, it is doomed to failure by mid-century or sooner. If things do not change we will be a country that is soon at greater then 400 million people and highly overpopulated, with only a minority of about 45% or less that believes in anything close to hard work yields tangible rewards.

Charles, I have one. Seal the Mexican border with a 2000 mile Duncan Hunter style fence, and limit legal immigration to 100,000 annually. Accept only those who speak fluent English and have job skills.

It's the kind of thinking on display from apathy that will doom the Republican Party, and indeed, America itself. It is a neo-conservative LIE that America is a propositional nation. We are not a nation built on "ideas." We WERE one people with one language, one faith and one culture. We were bonded together not but vague notions of liberty, nice as they are, but by blood, faith, and history.
Charles
JohnPM, do you have a proposal for how to maintain the white majority?
apathy
The spirit and heart of America is based on ideas, not colors. The white population can drop to ZERO for all i care.
cbeadel
Oh, and JohnPM, you are assuming that those who are not white are uneducated and unable to make choices based on logic and reasoning. You are completely missing the point.
cbeadel
Agree, dankoba. This stinks of an underlying racist tone. American society is continually evolving and those who are white may not be the majority later on. This would destroy an already sinking political party.

"whites are steeped (culturally and traditionally) in the Western concepts that made Europe great and the USA greater still. These being individualism and freedom, not excuse making and governmental handouts."
perhaps if whites had recognized everyones individualism and freedom we wouldn't need to rely on whites to carry the republican banner.
dankoba
This is beyond stupid. I wish we could give negative votes to ideas.
