Multiculturalism our Downfall
Friday, June 15, 2007
Multiculturalism destroys the cultural integrity of a free and democratic society and that is why the Bush immigration policy is bad news - but liberals would prefer to call people names rather then deal with the facts.
Take, for example, the current immigration debate in the United States. The US has an interesting term for people who are in the country without the proper paperwork. They're called "illegal aliens". It's a powerful designation. The notion of an "alien", aside from the slightly weird connotation about being from outer space, manages to convey that people are not really "at home" in the country where they're aliens. That's why they're "aliens". They're "strangers", in the old King-James-Bible-usage of that word.

But the more powerful word in that phrase is the word "illegal". They are strangers who are, by their very presence in the country, breaking the law. Nothing could be simpler, more descriptive or more to the point - or more politically incorrect as far as liberals are concerned.
That is why so many liberals in the US, including some in the President's administration, are playing the race card; claiming that opposition to the new immigration law amounts to a de facto form of racism.
Unfortunately, these ad homimen attacks won't help the situation. The fact is the President's new policy will hurt America because the notion that America is the great "melting pot" will disappear if the new bill becomes law. In fact, it is fair to say that his policy will do away with America as we know it entirely. And that's pretty ironic coming from a proud Texan.
In the hands of the illegals, Bush's new policy will be used against America because instead of coming to America to be American, immigrants will come to America to turn it into Mexico - which begs a whole lot of questions like: why did they leave Mexico to begin with?
Liberal critics naturally bemoan such "rhetoric", arguing that such criticism is unfair and unfounded. These illegals are "coming for a better life. They have come to find work, to find a step up from their old world impoverishment and, besides, they provide a valuable labour force."
Now all of this is probably true and it is very understandable too. And I for one don't begrudge anyone who wants to turn over a new leaf and make a better life for himself.
But it really does beg a question: as important as the economic implications of a cheap labour force are, is it really worth sacrificing a nation's cultural institutions and philosophical traditions for cheap labour?
I mean, as important as the economy is, there are other factors to consider.
Take Canada for example. We don't have an "illegal alien" problem, but we do suffer from something just as bad. A form of Anglo-Saxon self-hatred. We call it multiculturalism. This is the politically correct way of saying white, English-speaking culture is bad.
Of course, Canadians are too polite to say this, so we state it in the negative. In Canada multiculturalism means that the only thing any culture or religion can't say is that it is intrinsically, historically, or in any objective way superior to any other culture or religion.
Translation: anything but Anglo-Saxon culture will do, thank you very much.
This has led to a situation where the federal government subsidizes new immigrants to retain their old-world culture and customs, and then wonders why the old-world rivalries of Sikhs versus Hindus or Tamils vs. Spaniards keep being played out in Canadian towns and cities.
And because Canadians have been taught to "loathe" the Anglo-Saxon heritage, hostile forces and alien traditions, including terrorism, have been able to flourish in Canada.
Remember, the largest terrorist attack originating on North American soil before 9-11 was the Air India bombing in 1985, which had its roots in the Sikh/Hindu conflict in India. The people charged in this case - most of them were acquitted - were models of Canadian multiculturalism; seemingly upstanding members of their Sikh communities on the west coast, fully Canadian in the politically correct sense of the word, and yet still deeply mired in their old-world conflicts and thought processes.
And that, among other reasons, is precisely why multiculturalism and the President's immigration policy is so dangerous. Both fail to "assimilate" the immigrants whose values and customs reflect their old world but who have come here for the benefits of the new world without adopting its values and customs.
Which is why, if America looses it's "melting-pot" attitude, not only will America give way to Mexico; the North America continent will give way to alien cultures much more maniacal and much more hostile to our traditions of freedom and democracy.
So do all the name calling you want. History will prove me right. Multiculturalism will not work, you can bet American and Canada on that.

Stop the Presses!
by Joseph Farah
"Stop the presses!" You've heard newspaper editors shout that phrase in old movies. Joseph Farah was never a newspaper editor in the movies - he was one in real life. But he no longer works with ink, presses and newsprint.
A decade ago, Farah founded WorldNetDaily.com (WND.com) and became a pioneer on the New Media frontier. Today WND.com is the largest independent news service on the Internet. Stop the Presses! is not just Farah's story, but that of a new wave of media superstars who have forever changed the way Americans get their news and express their views.
Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Matt Drudge...these are just some of the New Media names that old-school media like ABC News has acknowledged "rule our world." This revolution has shaken the foundations of the mainstream media, eroding its ability to control the flow of information...and with it, the power to control the lives of millions around the world.
The New Media revolution's beginnings have never been told - until now.
