#2 But the conclusion is the operative quote:

As I said, time is short. The Hun is at the gate. In the case of most European countries, in fact, the Hun, the hesperophobe, is inside the gate. We can dream on for a while, dream that our cultural superiority, our technological superiority, our political superiority, will preserve us against all assaults. Perhaps we should remember that the Huns were cultural illiterates, technological ignoramuses, and political incompetents. It doesnï¿½t take much in the way of culture, technology, or statecraft to deliver a crippling blow to a weary, sybaritic, over-governed civilization that is near the end of its allotted span and has lost all faith in its own founding values. Time is short.

#3 Nimble, immigration to Europe from elsewhere wouldn't be nearly the problem it is if the institutions there weren't leading purveyors of hesperophobia themselves.

#4 Huns were cultural illiterates, technological ignoramuses, and political incompetents.

Brilliant, yet wrong.

#5 Islam in no way is the relative equal of the Huns.
