Over in "General" discussions, we have a thread going . . .
I've noticed, over the last couple of years (with some alarm, I might add) that we have, as a culture and a nation, been infiltrated by people from foreign lands and foreign cultures. These "other nationals" and "other culturals" set up house, refuse to assimilate, and tend to cluster together in communities, one neighborhood at a time, until they make up the majority of the population for their community, area, burrough, city, county, region, and so on.
It's incremental and it's deliberate.
So . . . what if . . .
What would stop a group of like-minded, culturally coherent, nationally consistent folks from deciding to deliberately populate an area, bringing with them the trappings of their culture, with the express design of eventually achieving a majority voting bloc?
Politicians have already shown that votes mean more than principles. What could be better than an environment where politicians could run on constitutional principles AND still get the vote?
As Americans, we find ourselves distracted by the dollar and by ever-better "opportunity" and forsake our roots, moving to culturally hostile regions for the sake of a "standard of living" while forfeiting our rights so as not to rock a boat.
Consider the alternative. Imagine for a moment that we, the defenders of this nation's constitution, were willing to endure the kind of inconvenience that other cultures have shown they can, and took our various skills and knowledge and, most importantly, our culture and mores, and stuck together as other cultures do?
Now, instead of griping that "those [Eastern] dudes only hire from their own culture" or that "you can't get a job once the [nationality here] move in," we establish our very own brand of "prejudice" by clearly announcing "NOT AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER" and exhibiting a clear bias in favor of constitutional integrity -- specifically with regard to the Bill Of Rights -- in choosing to hire.
The town would actively encourage gun ownership. Schools would eschew federal funding, and would teach gun safety. The school rifle team would be a point of pride. The town would host a professional training center resort, a la GunSite, and it would be a desirable destination. Gunsmiths would be encouraged to set up shop. Manufacturers would be courted.
Easy? Heck no.
Sacrifices? Heck yes.
Opposition? Count on it.
Overnight? Not likely.
Decades? Perhaps.
Worth it? Absolutely.
I know that I, personally, would take a serious pay cut and change careers to become part of a town that wanted me for who I am and what I believe and support as opposed to what university gave me my degree.
. . . that made me think a bit.California Refugees: Oregon or Washington?
