To anybody who came of age in America before, let\u2019s say 1990, it\u2019s always maddening to hear the views of Millennials on the subject of Western History.\u00a0 They are completely convinced that the world would have been a paradise if only the evil Europeans hadn\u2019t interfered with all the good people everywhere else.\u00a0 So, because the settlers dispossessed the Indians and used slave labor for agriculture and used the advanced weapons and tactics that they invented to conquer the whole world this must mean that the Europeans were morally inferior to the peoples they defeated.\u00a0 The fact that history and archeology show that humans everywhere and at all times have waged war against their neighbors and made slaves of their defeated rivals is as clear and understandable as any other law of nature.\u00a0 The Khans of Mongolia conquered most of Eurasia and committed atrocities that rival anything that Hitler or Stalin committed.\u00a0 Empires in India, the Middle East and Meso-America conquered and enslaved their neighbors whenever the opportunity arose.\u00a0 The tribes and nations of Sub-Saharan Africa even in modern times have committed genocidal attacks on their enemies that have stunned outsiders by their cruelty.\u00a0 Man has been a terrifying enemy to his neighbors for as long as he has existed.\u00a0 In fact, it is ignored that the English were the ones who ended slavery inside their vast empire in the nineteenth century with the United States following their example shortly after.\u00a0 It was Europeans (the Swiss and the English and their descendants) who first resurrected democracy after a lapse of thousands of years since the end of the first attempts back in ancient Athens.\u00a0 And with respect to women\u2019s rights, England and the United States, once again, were in the vanguard of that movement.<\/p>\n
But none of this registers with Millennials.\u00a0 They\u2019ve been proselytized and brow-beaten by their teachers from kindergarten to graduate school and beyond to acknowledge the hereditary guilt of belonging to a civilization that virtually alone has created the modern world that everyone lives in.\u00a0 And to atone for the \u201csins\u201d of their ancestors they desire to hand over the country to anyone who desires to come here to live.\u00a0 They think it would be better if America belonged to the world.\u00a0 \u201cAfter all,\u201d they think, \u201cwe stole it from someone else, we should give it back.\u201d<\/p>\n
What they\u2019re too blind to realize is that if they indeed gave it to the world, it soon wouldn\u2019t be a place that the world would want to live in.\u00a0 It is true that many people come to America to get free stuff.\u00a0 They see a gravy train and figure on getting as much of what is being handed out for as long as it\u2019s available.\u00a0 They typically send the money they get back home to their families and intend to return when it gets to be a big enough nest egg.\u00a0 But there have always been people who come to America because they\u2019ve heard that things are done right here.\u00a0 If you live in a country where the local strongman can take your property or even abuse your family with impunity then it doesn\u2019t matter if you are relatively well off.\u00a0 A lawless society is a violent and chaotic place where only the strongest survive and even they know a stronger man will eventually come along to supplant them.\u00a0 Whether it was German peasants fleeing religious wars or Southern Italians fleeing poverty and the cruel intimidation of the Mafia people came to the United States because for the most part the middle class here were able to negotiate a sane existence where their children could live a decent life and maybe even better themselves over time.<\/p>\n
But as the older population knows, every time a new wave of immigrants arrives and crowds the slums of the old cities, it creates crime and poverty and resentment between the older inhabitants and the new immigrants.\u00a0 At that point, in the past, immigration is halted. \u00a0Then it takes fifty years for the new immigrants to assimilate and blend into the American way of life.\u00a0 And normal life resumes for the bulk of the inhabitants.<\/p>\n
But if the Millennials (and the Democrat leadership and the corporations who need cheap labor) have their way, then there will be no halt to the influx of immigrants.\u00a0 Eventually we will reach a tipping point where the new arrivals will swamp out the cultural Americans and it won\u2019t be America anymore.\u00a0 Once enough people will sell their vote for some short-term economic benefit, all the things that made the United States unique, things like the Bill of Rights, will be legislated away and we will live in the same lawless jungle that all those who came here fled from.<\/p>\n
It took almost two thousand years between Ancient Athens and Modern Europe for democracy to reappear.\u00a0 If it disappears here, it may take that long for it to reappear.\u00a0 We must do what we can to stop this stupid idea that everyone can move to America.<\/p>\n
And it\u2019s unnecessary.\u00a0 The whole world knows what a working civilization looks like.\u00a0 It was the civilization that flourished in Europe during the industrial revolution.\u00a0 It was when man used science and intelligence to improve the way he lived.\u00a0 This can be copied and adapted to the local conditions.\u00a0 It won\u2019t be like America but it will be better than the tribal life that preceded modernity.\u00a0 We don\u2019t need to let everyone come here.\u00a0 We don\u2019t even have to enforce our standards on these more backward countries.\u00a0 But we can insist that if they want to have any interaction with us that they must maintain some reasonable standards of behavior to allow that interaction to be acceptable to us.\u00a0 We can make common cause with countries that have the same aspirations as us.\u00a0 Those that don\u2019t we can ignore.\u00a0 But we don\u2019t owe even friendly nations the right to flood our country and disrupt our way of life.<\/p>\n
So, to hell with the Millennials and their idiot teachers.\u00a0 This is our way of life here and we don\u2019t want to lose it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
