“Arabs and Muslims do not primarily hate America because it supports Israel althought that is a subsidiary reason. They hate it because it is Christian,wealthy and democratic, believes in religious freedom, and gives rights to women, Jews and minorities.”
Vaemar, Arabs dont give a damn about west (well at least they didn’t before 50′s). But how should they respond when u kill them in millions, take their land, support brutal dictators and destroy those who are not ready to kiss your ass.

McConnell’s assertion that “For the record, I think America will survive quite decently without a white majority, though this isn’t the course I would necessarily have chosen” pretty much encapsulates the uselessness of conservatism in the face of accelerating white dispossession. First, there is the ostrich-like denial of a looming catastrophe. What is the evidence that America will survive quite decently without a white majority? Has Detroit survived quite decently without a white majority? How about Camden New Jersey, Washington, D.C., Atlanta, Birmingham, and Oakland? Second, there is the passivity. McConnell might not have chosen a non-white future for America. Of course somebody did choose to set us on that path. But it would take a revolutionary, not a conservative, to contemplate reversing that course. Those whites who are interesting in securing a future for their posterity need to start reading The Occidental Quarterly and American Renaissance. The trouble with McConnell’s conservatism is that it doesn’t conserve anything but the mistakes made by liberals.

Vaemar: Although you are partly right in your assessment, some of the countries you mentioned have had troops in Afghanistan. Spain, Australia and Britain have had troops in Iraq as well. So, it is not all “simply” because these are Christian, free, rights-giving nations that they are targeted by Muslim extremist terrorists. It has mostly to do with intervention in Muslim affairs which gives these terrorists the excuse to attack. This is obviously where support for Israel comes in. American, et. al. intervention, makes it easier for terrorists to recruit new people who now in recent years have seen a foreign presence of troops on Arab soil. It makes it easier to get these recruits to kill people through brainwash and lies that they are doing this for God or their people. Many Arab nations are very wealthy because they are oil rich but if this is part of the reason many Arabs hate America, then they should turn on their own corrupt governments that keep most of the oil money for themselves. American needs to change its foreign policy and start worrying about domestic affairs.

There have been Muslim bomb attacks all round the world from Spain and Britain to Argentina, to Australia (in Bali), directed against countries that have little or nothing to do with supporting Israel, simply because they are Christian, democratic and have civil rights for minorities.

“White people” are always worried that other people are going to take over. American-hating Arab terrorists are all going to come over in vessels, ships, even bathtubs and magically take over America so we should stay in the Middle East. One black family moves into the neighborhood and right away, “the blacks are taking over.” You people need to relax because you’re still the majority for now anyway and stop this paranoia. These hard economic times and more blacks/ Latinos going to school may mean they start having less children as well. This country did originally belong to non-white native Americans anyway and the white population doesn’t have the God-given right to this land like some think they do. I am half white and not against my own people either but I think you people are a little ridiculous with this topic while Israel Jews may actually be very justified with their situation.

Adam Rurik,
You are correct that whites in America are too heterogenous to constitute the “nation” that white nationalists desire. There is still enough commonality though that they could desire to live in a predominately white country, just as Europeans have enough in common to think that allowing Turkey into the EU would diminish its European character. I would disagree though that the U.S is a country of tribes: most of its “ethnics” have been deracinated enough that they feel little connection to their ancestral nations. Intermarriage rates are probably the best measure of that sort of thing.

It never fails to amuse me, hearing the fearful whispers about “whites” no longer being the majority in America, for those murmurings are coming from people who, for reasons known but to themselves and God, view whites as a monolithic group!

The U.S. is, more and more, a country not of races, nor even ethnicities, but, rather, tribes. If you doubt this, ask a few Irish-Catholic Americans what they think of the Brits. Ask some Polish-Americans how they feel about Russians and Germans. Ask Americans of Basque ancestry their opinions of Spain.

I guarantee you shall receive more than a few “politically-incorrect” replies.

There are millions of white American and Europeans who are not racist in any meaningful sense of that world, who have no problem interacting on equal terms with non-whites both professionally and personally, but who nevertheless as a practical matter want to live in a white-majority nation, and STRONGLY insist on living in a white majority neighborhood and sending their kids to a white majority school.

As long as the elite consensus is that minority status for whites in America and Europe is a fait acompli and caring at all about this outcome is an act of indecency, then reasonable people will be drawn towards the BNP, American Renaissance and the Occidental Quarterly.

In fact, it is NOT a fait acompli. We can secure our boarders and change our immigration policies in a way that would preserve a white majority, while at the same time ensuring that non-white here already as citizens are accorded dignity and equal rights under the law. The main obstacle seems to be the idea that this is somehow an immoral goal. It isn’t.

Some J-Streeters are anti-Zionists actually pushing for a unified state with one-man-one-vote. I think that’s ridiculous, but that’s how it is.

Philip Giraldi is right: J-Street is just AIPAC lite.

In his 2009 book on European immigration, “Reflections on the Revolution in Europe,” Philip Caldwell asks: “Can you have the same Europe with different people?” and answers the question with a resounding “no.” The same is true of both Israel and the United States.

I love the United States that had a white majority, and think its loss is a heart-breaking tragedy. I have great sympathy for Israelis who wish to preserve a Jewish state.

Is there a single Western tradition? Do the ancient Greeks and Christians belong in the same narrative? Sorry to sound like a deconstructionist (which I’m not), but talk of “reclaiming the Western tradition” strikes me as a little windy.

At least I think the newly arrived latinos accept the first principles of the West, and if they don’t, McConnell, et al. are in a good position to change that, especially since they run a journal of opinion that’s designed to change people’s minds in ways that make them more amenable to Western thought.

McConnell’s point deserves more attention than it’s gotten over the years. It’s the Israelis on the Zionist left, the “peace camp”, whose primary argument over the last decade has been explicitly ethnic: that the occupation must be ended so that the Jews can preserve their position as the Staatvolk. The arguments by the Israeli left against the occupation are outrageously racist according to Western standards.

I see it as another sign of Israeli health as opposed to European and American sickness, that the Israeli left is warning against the disaster of their ethnic group losing its position of dominance. It’s taken for granted by almost all Israeli Jews that they must remain the Staatvolk in Israel. They’re just a bunch of racist Buchananites.
