This just in: Pat Buchanan hates immigrants
Can Diversity Destroy Us? <-- yeah I know Pat starts big but trust me it gets better :rofl:

It was in their unity, not their diversity, that the strength of the colonies resided. So Patrick Henry believed, as he declared, "The distinctions between Virginians, Pennsylvanians, New Yorkers and New Englanders are no more. I am not a Virginian, but an American."

National identity must supersede state identity for America to survive

America was settled by colonists from the British Isles. In 1789, two centuries after Jamestown and Plymouth Rock, we were 99 percent Protestant. Until the Irish came in 1845, there was almost no immigration. Even during the Great Wave of 1890-1920, the number of immigrants was a fraction of the 38 million here today. And all had come from Europe. By 1960, we were almost 90 percent European and more than 90 percent Christian — of one nationality, American, one language, English, and one culture.

That America is gone forever.

Last week, we learned that in the last seven years 10.3 million people, almost all from the Third World, entered the United States, more than half illegally. The nation that was one-tenth minority in 1960 is now one-third minority. European-Americans will soon be a minority in the nation, as they are today in California, Texas and most large American cities.

And when that day comes, what then will unite us as a people?

1. No he does NOT!! You take that BACK!!!!
He likes ENGLISH and IRISH immigrants JUST FINE!!! So long as they're of the caucasian persuasion, that is!!! AND Xtian!!! Don't forget that key cultural identifier!!!

He'll put up with light and bright Italians, Germans, and even Frenchies, if he has to, so long as they can speakee ze ONG-layz--but he'd get a bit short tempered over the Portugeuse or Spanish, I'm thinking! See, they remind him too much of those fence jumpers!!!

2. Pat doesn't seem to understand either our history or our lofty goals
He also doesn't seem to understand that people WANT to come here because we are a nation of immigrants

3. He's one of those idiotic "Change is Always Bad" types. Stuck on Stupid!
One thing I will say for him, though, is he's consistent. Consistently stupid, but damn, he is consistent!!!

5. Why does he hate America?
America is essentially a nation of immigrants. It started around 1620.

6. "Until the Irish came in 1845, there was almost no immigration."
Another thing that Pat doesn't seem to understand was that there wasn't much to move here FOR back then and there was certainly no one willing to pay you TO move here as happened in industrilal revolution.

Why is this man published?

7. Buchanan espouses the narrow view of the U.S. of the 1920's, 30's and 40's.
