Diversity is perilous

It’s not diversity as a fact with which I have a problem, it’s diversity as a policy.

We are undoubtedly a diverse nation and are becoming more so thanks to changes in immigration policy. The policy of diversity marches under the banner of tolerance when, in fact, it’s blatantly intolerant. It is sociopolitical liberalism and enforced with an iron fist driven by political correctness, the most dangerous device for stifling freedom of speech and political dissent ever created.

Bless President Trump for seemingly being undeterred by the oppressive threat resting at the nucleus of political correctness. He insists on marching to his own drummer ignoring all the blame rhetoric dished out by the “tolerance” crowd. Any nation has the right to control its borders and determine who may or may not enter.

Article I, Section 8 says the government will repel invasions and Article IV, Section 4 says the government shall protect the states from invasion. What we have coming up from the south is an invasion and the Constitution says the government shall protect the states from it. By doing so it protects the taxpayers of this nation from being exploited by those who seek the “freebies” and “goodies” we taxpayers have to offer.

Any Republican accused of racism, regardless how specious the charge, is expected to surrender immediately. This applies to other violations of political correctness: homophobia, Islamaphobia, xenophobia, sexism and any number of other prejudices because there is no defense against irrational prejudices which is what the “phobias” really are.

The goal of diversity is to diversify the demographic makeup of the American population to a majority of people of color rather than a majority white population. The goal of this change is the notion these people are more likely to utilize services of the welfare state and therefore more likely to vote for the Democratic Party, the main promoter of the welfare state. So, it is really an undercover play for political power on the part of Democrats, i.e. the so-called progressives.

On October 12, 1915, President Theodore Roosevelt had some very unkind things to say about diversity even though the term was unknown at that time: “There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans – Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all. This is just as true of the man who puts ‘native’ before the hyphen as of the man who puts German or Irish or English or French before the hyphen.

“Americanism is a matter of the spirit and of the soul. Our allegiance must be purely to the United States. We must unsparingly condemn any man who holds any other allegiance. But if he is heartily and singly loyal to this Republic, then no matter where he was born, he is just as good an American as anyone else.

“The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic.”

We have all seen pictures of mobs holding up some nation’s flag rather than the American flag, spitting on the American flag, burning the American flag and other such nonsense. If these people feel so strongly about the country from which they come or to whom they feel they owe allegiance then they should go back. If it’s so wonderful then why did they leave?
