Bully Pulpit

The term "bully pulpit" stems from President Theodore Roosevelt's reference to the White House as a "bully pulpit," meaning a terrific platform from which to persuasively advocate an agenda. Roosevelt often used the word "bully" as an adjective meaning superb/wonderful. The Bully Pulpit features news, reasoned discourse, opinion and some humor.

Brownshirts are marching toward a Brown America

The increasingly lawless behavior of the pro-immigration forces in America is both informative and telling. It is a clear warning of precisely what these forces stand for as well as what they hope America will become. For the problem is not that America is being invaded by millions of semi-civilized aliens with no cultural or historical ties to American traditions and liberties, or respect for them, but that America is being transformed by these invaders.

As Umberto Eco pointed out in his 1990 essay entitled ''Migrazioni,'' there is a crucial difference between immigration and migration. In the case of immigration, it is the immigrant who is transformed. This was the case in historical immigrations from Ireland, Germany, Italy and Scandinavia, where the immigrating generation quickly adapted to the language and culture of its new land and the second and third generations were all but impossible to distinguish from Americans who could trace their roots back to the original colonies.


Vox Day

This article does a nice job of indirectly rebutting the moderate-to-liberal appeal to "compassion" with regard to immigration. It is not compassionate in the long run when, as Vox points out, the end result of Brown America will be the same hellhole we were compassionately allowing them to flee. As has been pointed out repeatedly by Mark Steyn and others, the multiculturalist agenda is a smokescreen for anti-nativist forces. The underlying message of multiculturalism is that the native culture is somehow inferior. Oviously, this is not the case since Americans aren't fleeing to Mexico in droves. Assimilation is a far more compassionate approach since it has been proven over more than two hundred years of American history to result in the most satisfactory outcome for its subjects.
