Multiculturalism Elbows Anglo-Americans Out
[UNZ] America is "a society that is and always has been multiethnic and polyglot," burbled David Frum, in a 2016 exposition. It's a refrain repeated by centrists like Frum and French (also David), by all lefties and by well-trained faux rightists.Such dissembling about America having always been multicultural are no more than post hoc justifications for turning the country into a veritable Tower of Babel. Early America's colonies were founded by Englishmen in periwigs, speaking different English dialects. They were joined by Irish, Scottish, French, Dutch, German and Swedish Christians, who quickly adopted English as lingua franca. Not even the woke Wikipedia denies that, "Nearly all colonies and, later, states in the United States, were settled by migration from" one colony to another, with "foreign immigration" generally playing "a minor role after the first initial settlements." In other words, population growth was organic, a result of the settlers themselves multiplying and being fruitful, not of a flood of immigrants. This so-called "multiethnic" dispensation saw early Americans publicly debate and come to a broad agreement on some highly complex, abstract matters of political philosophy, an impossibility today. The colonial community had to be pretty tight to arrive at the Articles of Confederation, followed by the Constitution. Try as he might, not even the sainted Barack Obama got away with claiming, as he did, that, "Islam had been woven into the fabric of our country since its founding." Beyond their heavy involvement in the slave trade and in the Barbary wars‐and contrary to Obama's modern myth-making‐Muslims were most certainly not enmeshed in America from its inception. Moreover, and almost to a man, the learned Founding Father, as chronicled by Laura Rubenfeld of PJ Media, held a dismal view of Islam and its vampiric prophet. Posted by: Besoeker 2019-11-09 |
