The thing that I worry about with minorities being the majority of the population is who is going to pay their bills. Who will do the working in this edenistic society that the libs embrace. Already 43M people do not pay taxes in this country and the number will no doubt go much higher when the politicians who embrace the ethnic vote pander for more votes and the non-tax paying members of our great nation look to the government for more and more of what working people EARN. We have the most outmoded and unfair tax code on the planet, preying on the working people to pay other peoples bills. How long can this last? Apparently until 2042.

Well, well, the truth comes out, as it always does:

ANWR could become the fastest way to generate hundreds of billions of dollars of new oil. But laws need to be changed to fast track the leasing (there are 11 litigation choke points) and to create special courts to expedite environmental issues, as recently proposed by Rep. Michele Bachman (R-Minn.). Under current laws, it could indeed take 10 years to produce oil, compared to two or three years for the actual drilling and pumping. Additionally, leasing is done slowly, thanks to laws written when oil was plentiful. Such laws were designed to gain maximum upfront money for the government, not for speed. For example, BP recently paid $1.2 billion for a new offshore lease, some 400 miles East of Canada’s Alaska’s Prudhoe Bay. The cost and distance gives some idea of industry expectations as to the extent of oil reserves.

Its reserves are estimated at 10 billion barrels by the U.S. Geological Survey, compared to 32 billion nationwide, almost a 33 percent increase. At full production, ANWR would add a million barrels per day to U.S. production. At $100 per barrel, this would equal over $36 billion per year that would not need to be spent on foreign oil. It would also create some 700,000 well-paying jobs, according to a Wharton Econometrics study [pdf].

Why do the libs hate you?

The founding fathers may have been almost exclusively English but that is merely a result of their refusal to acknowledge all the native tribes who were clearly here first. In fact, once a sufficient number of European immigrants arrived from England, France, Ireland, Germany, Spain, Portugal, etc., the surviving natives of now long-forgotten and noble tribes such as the Mahican, Pequot, and Creek — to name but a few — indeed became the United State’s first true minorities. Nowadays, these once proud peoples are relegated to such menial tasks as owning and operating major casinos for the benefit of a nation of conquerors with nothing better to do with their spoils than risk them all in a game of chance. For that, the minorities are grateful but they will never forgive the white man for the needless slaughter of the bison. After all, that other red meat is just a bunch of bull.

Your heart is in the right place on this one and I honestly wish you were correct but I am also a realist. What other countries have managed to long survive such diversity?

I fear for all of our progeny (regardless of ethnicity) because a country without a solid ethnic majority will become extremely unstable and hopelessly “Balkanized” with all of the terrible consequences thereof.

I believe that the Olympics have lost their appeal to many in the United States due to a lack of proper advertisement. I remember getting all excited, in my younger years, at the very prospect of watching the winter Olympics every time I heard that announcer on ABC — or was it NBC or CBS — make that perplexing puzzler of a proclamation, “…the thrill of victory or the agony of de feet.” I would stay literally glued to the black and white, waiting and watching and wondering. Who’s feet will be in agony and how will it happen. It was several years later before I learned that the announcer was saying “defeat”. Needless to say, I was saddened and somehow strangely relieved at the same time.

Well, I could just as easily blame it all on the space program. If they hadn’t kept yelling “abort, abort” before just about every single attempted launch, who knows where we might be today. Some said that it was due to the process that had been in effect since its inception but a few disagreed with that view. So, here we are today still in need of immigrants just to fill all the vacant houses. That problem alone seems to be one of Olympic proportion and certainly worthy of more air time.

“There are many credible members of the scientific community who have questioned the theory of global warming, and now we have some scientists actually suggesting the earth’s temperatures may be entering a period of dramatic cooling,” said Doherty, R-Warren and Hunterdon. “With this growing level of scientific uncertainty, it makes no sense to enact a new set of economically damaging regulations prompted by the global warming hysteria of recent years.”

Any normal person sees suicide bombing for what it is, a depraved act of futility, mindless evil in it’s foulest form, so why do the libs at the AJC/Jihad seem so fond of it?:

The woman blew herself up in a group of pilgrims resting on the side of the road in Iskandariyah as women were cooking dinner, men were praying and children were playing nearby, a witness said. Last month, three other female suicide bombers struck Shiite pilgrims in nearly simultaneous bombings in Baghdad, killing at least 32 people and wounding more than 100.-AJC/Jihad

They dwell on these atrocities they way a normal person would look through a photo album.

This was last week, there were two of them at once!

Why not denounce it as the degeneracy that it is AJC/Jihad?

There are two kinds of people in the world, those that speak out against suicide bombers and those who encourage them.

Guess which side the AJC is on.

Only Japan is slightly higher overall, though if you are silly enough to base a corporation in California, Iowa, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, or other states with high corporate levies, your tax rate on business income is even higher than in Tokyo. For the first time, the U.S. statutory rate is now 50% higher than the average of our international competitors, continuing a long-term trend as the rest of the world keeps reducing corporate tax rates

The libs keep whining about lost jobs and the declining middle class but then they turn right around tax the major employers like they are some blood sucking ghouls.

And you wonder why they leave the country?

Insane, isn’t it?

Second, it includes an Apollo-like project to get 85 percent of our cars and trucks off petroleum-based fuels in the next 20 years. Finally, the proposal contains a robust federal commitment to conservation. The New ERA proposal addresses the fundamentals of supply and demand by increasing production here at home and making a serious investment in conservation and alternative energy sources.-AJC/DNC

Wonderful, now we have a “bipartisan” commission on mindlessness, or is that a bipolar commission?

Considering that federal regulations add 8 years on to the two year oil drilling production process, what would be the most efficient means of relieving our “addiction” to foreign oil right now?

Twenty years of new unintended environmental disasters like ethanol, or removing governmental roadblocks from the drilling process?

If the Democrats really wanted to cut the profits of Big Oil, they would vote to…increase the supply of oil! Oil company profits are so high because the price of oil is so high. The price is so high because demand is so much higher than supply. Allowing oil companies to drill for more oil will increase supply, which will lower prices, which will lower oil company profits!

Who is really in the pocket of Big Oil here — the party whose policies would reduce oil company profits, or the party whose policies are keeping huge oil reserves confined underground, thus keeping oil companies rolling in record amounts of cash?

Duh.

By any historical standard, Mr. West argues, the average U.S. grunt is the model of humane professionalism and, when challenged in open combat, ruthless military efficiency. It enrages him that defeatist American critics seize on isolated incidents such as the Abu Ghraib prison fiasco and civilian deaths in Haditha to portray American soldiers as war criminals. “No nation,” he writes, “ever fought a more restrained and honorable war.”

Our soldiers should be lauded as the heroes that they truly are but the left instead harps on the one or two acts of the few, trying to turn our troops into monsters and liberal boogeymen.

Why do they hate them so much?

As to “mr.” bookman’s allogation that ” Today’s U.S. citizens may look less like the Continental Congress and more like a general session of the United Nations, but they are no less American than…”, I think he is dead wrong.

Today’s citizens are gutless and spineless…they have no moral courage to stand up for what is right nor the willingness to defeat evil. What is evil: Look at the fools the public elected to the Clayton County School Board, look at that idiot mayor in Lithonia, look at the Federal bailout of the mortgage crisis, look at the selfish corporate “leaders” raking in tens of millions of dollars a year while playing golf out in Augusta, look at the State of California in general.

On diversity you are 100% correct. The implied reasoning for NBC coverage, however, is a bit off. Phelps is getting coverage and becoming the face of the Games because he is on the verge of doing something that has never been done before. At the same time, as a network interested in ratings, NBC has to put the events that garner the most interest on prime time. Some of the very worthy competitors you mention simply do not participate in those types of events. Finally, Tyson Gay only started his competition today in Track and Field. Its somewhat difficult to cover an event and medal winner when the competition has not yet been run. We all should be proud of all of our competitors regardless of race, ethncity, or sex and also regardless of whether they win or not. That said, when someone, like Phelps or Edwin Moses from a few years ago in Track and Field, are on the verge of a athletically historic feat, we need to recognize it and enjoy what we are seeing. It does not happen often.

Paul, I think the comments doohickie was broken, earlier—I tried posting and got 404’d.

You really think this is a dull topic? Here, let’s dig a bit—I’ve got a USA Today article on the Census report that, probably, inspired Jay to write this column.

A taste follows:

Racial and ethnic minorities in the USA will become a majority in 2042, but the working-age population — those 18 to 64 — will cross that threshold three years earlier, the projections say. By 2050, minorities will make up 55% of the working-age population. The share of the population that is working-age will drop steadily, from 63% to 57% in 2050.

“Not only are we going to have a relatively small workforce, but also one that’s more diverse,” says William Frey, demographer at the Brookings Institution in Washington. “We need to become very concerned about getting the proper education track for those in the pipeline.”

In 2050, the working-age population will be 30% Hispanic, 12% non-Hispanic black and 8% non-Hispanic Asian. Today, the breakdown is 15% Hispanic, 12% black and 5% Asian.

Mark Mather, who studies U.S. demographic trends at the Population Reference Bureau, a research group, says the greatest concentration of minorities now is in the group younger than 18.

Not to speak for Paul, not a boring topic, boring posts.

Intersting that a majority of the working age population will not be of the Caucausian persuasion. I guess that answers Mr. Rascist’s comments earlier about whose going to pay for the deadbeat minorities welfare checks, huh?

President Bush’s popularity has tanked, but boy can he still bring in the cash.

He’s raked in close to a billion dollars, the political fundraiser in chief, during his White House tenure. In all, Bush has personally raised more than $968 million for the Republican Party, GOP candidates and his own re-election campaign and inauguration during his two terms in office. And he’s not finished.

*Bush embraced McCain as the party’s next standard bearer in the Rose Garden in March, saying, “I can help raise him money, and if he wants my pretty face standing by his side at one of these rallies, I’d be glad to show up.”

Since then, the only time they have been seen together in public was after a fundraiser on May 27 in Phoenix. The two men shook hands on the airport tarmac and smiled and waved at reporters before Bush boarded Air Force One. The goodbye lasted less than a minute.

These days the White House is being careful not to step on McCain’s message or schedule back-to-back events in the same city. Bush advisers aren’t saying - and might not know - whether the two will appear again together between now and Election Day.

Still, McCain knows he needs the cash Bush can provide to keep pace with Obama, who is setting fundraising records. Bush can raise money directly for McCain only until the Republican National Convention, which starts Sept. 1 in Minneapolis. After that, McCain’s decision to accept $84 million in public funds in the fall will leave him reliant for additional cash on money raised and donated by the GOP. But Bush can help there, too.*

and now you know the rest of the story.

Thanks to open borders, unmitigated visa issuance (especially H-1B workers…taking American jobs), allowance of the illegal invasion, the incessant drive for Marxist spawned “multiculturalism”/”political correctness”, the push for the North American Union, NAFTA & CAFTA, etc…our Constitutional Republic is becoming the socialist dystopia/”Brave New World” long hoped & strived for by the Globalist Elite & their innumerous shills (like “Bacrock Obummer” & “Juan McAmnasty” the Manchurian candidate)!

I agree. I’m an Anglo-American and I don’t feel threatened by any of this.

What I really dislike is the current wave of hatred towards immigrants to America, particularly immigrants from Mexico, Central America and South America.

All through our history, we’ve had various waves immigration, and a backlash of hatred and xenophobia, and this is just the latest one. But, Americans, America works no matter who moves here and puts down roots.

The current generation of unwanted immigrant underclass will give rise to future generations of loyal and patriotic American citizens. This is as it has always been.

I love the ideal of America, and I welcome those from outside who want to participate in what makes this country great.

Andy,

I like the way you grasp on something, ANYTHING, to further your political view(s).

You sure work hard. Real hard.

To Wheat Williams:

I know your comments are sincere but name me other countries who have managed to long survive such immense diversity “as a democracy”?

I fear for all of our progeny (regardless of ethnicity) because a country without a solid ethnic majority will become extremely unstable and hopelessly “Balkanized” with all of the terrible consequences thereof.

Just look at today’s headlines regarding Russia/Georgia. A tyrannical government can sometimes hold the pieces together but a democracy is set up to self-destruct.

I pray otherwise. Time will tell.

Illegals coming in from south of the border are doing so because their countries are so screwed up they can’t live there.How is this group going to enhance the American way of life?It isn’t.It’s going to bring it’s way of life here and deteriorate America.

Legal immigration.Legal.Is that so hard to understand?

Wow, Corporal… it’s seldom that a conservative is willing to so openly state their distrust (and dislike) of democracy the way you have.

I salute your courage, if not your intelligence.

I thought we would have a solid ethnic majority. It just wouldn’t be white. HHMM.

I know this may be hard for you to understand but our country started out as a “Constitutional Republic” but has unfortunately evolved these past 200+ years into a weird combination of a “voting masses pure democracy/judicial oligarchy”. Neither of those two forms of government bode well for our future. A “pure democracy” is set up to eventually self-destruct. Once the masses realize they have the power to “vote in” their monetary support from the government it has passed the point of no return. Our grandchildren and great-grandchildren will be the real ones to suffer.

P.S. I enjoy honest debate but let’s be civil.

“The Corporal” @ 13:00 - Outstanding overview and points good sir! It’s refreshing to see other Americans with the facts on our Nation’s history. We have long need to return to the roots of Constitutional Republic roots, but we’re constantly undermined (at every turn) by the Globalist Elite/”shadow government”/kingmakers who’ve steadily taken the reigns over the past several decades. You are all too correct that our children/grandchildren will greatly suffer greatly from this continued push for a quasi-socialist dystopia (marching towards a One World government). The Founding Fathers would be turning in their graves to see the treachery allowed by the traitors on “Crapitol sHill”!

If our minorities, who (often as products of their environment) are born out of wedlock in disproportionate numbers and statistically more likely to be poor and less likely to be educated, become the majority, what will this mean for America? What does it mean for any country where the majority of citizens are poor and uneducated — regardless of ethnic origin or skin color? ‘Cause, hey, our population in general — skin color aside — is slacking off. We’re just sitting around watching TV, reading celebrity trash instead of thoughtful books, listening to pundits and talk radio hosts call names and yell at each other in what’s supposed to pass as political discourse, eating fast food and getting fat, cussing at our spouse and kids, and blaming schools because our kids (products of their environment) aren’t excelling in school and instilled with lifelong love of learning. If this is you, and you want America, regardless of its racial makeup, to survive with our freedoms and ideals intact, maybe you should clean up your act. A country is only as strong as its people, and we get the government we deserve.

I don’t think there are any others. The United States of America is unique. Wonderfully unique. We’ve been the best example of democracy in the world since our founding in the late 1700s. There have always been injustices and problems with our country, but I still wouldn’t want to live anywhere else, and I’ve seen much of the rest of the world.

My high school American history teacher (circa 1981) told us, “Throughout history, America consists of whoever happens to be living here at the time.”

It has worked, and it will continue to work. But the America of a generation or two in the future will no doubt be quite different from the one of today.

My parents, who are deceased, grew up in the Great Depression and World War II eras, and life in America was certainly much different then than it is now. I’m sure there’s a lot about life in America today that they would not appreciate.

Change is inevitable, and it’s uncomfortable, but the United States of America has weathered all these changes. I’m cautiously optimistic.

Racist answer to Ray at August 14, 2008 5:56 PM: Thank God for Asians!

Rational answer: Every ethnic or racial group has a lot of people that want to work for their living and some that don’t. If we go under, it won’t be diversity that does us in. It will be statism, which messes up the economy, pits people against each other, and encourages parasites.

I agree! So maybe the proactive thing would be for the United States to provide critical foreign aid to the peoples of Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador, so the people would not be so desperate to try to cross over into our country. We could build infrastructure for clean water, sanitation, health care, irrigation, seed for crops, and fertilizer.

“An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”

I bet we could afford to do this if we weren’t pouring all our economic might into that other country—what’s it called—Iraq?

I’m not saying this would be easy, but it might be more effective than building border walls and running ICE deportations.

I would encourage everybody on this thread to rent the 90-minute documentary Wetback presented by National Geographic. You can get it at Blockbuster or other rental outlets or through NetFlix.

You will see a side of this issue that you have not seen presented before.
