I recently watched a two hour documentary on Apache Helicopter pilots during the “surge” of the Iraq occupation. These were brave men who saw a lot of action. Two-thirds had Southern accents. Sad. Trump talked a good game and many of us were desperate to hear the message that he gave. We were betrayed more blatantly than any other constituency in U.S. history. We should have paid more attention to his character and career. He has become a dangerous clown. He tells the U.N. that he might obliterate one of its member countries. What could be more arrogant and inappropriate—the absolutely wrong place to do such a thing? Yankee bad manners. The Republican mainstream for years did everything in its power to block and undermine Trump. Now that he really deserves opposition they are silent or supporting his bad actions. The Republicans are simply an election machine without any principles or goals. Most are on the Israeli payroll. Have you noticed the number of foreign names that keep showing up in Congress—Mexican, Indian, Chinese, Persians, Sudanese, etc. As recently as the 1990s nobody could have imagined this. The Democrats are also mostly on the Israeli payroll, but these newly in power minorities are the only people who are actually opposing Trump’s destructive craziness. The Republicans will accuse them of being “socialists.” An old party theme that no longer has any relevance. Subcontinental Indians seem to continue to proliferate in cities I am familiar with. They seem to have taken over IT, 7-11 type stores, and small hotels. I cannot spend a normal day without encountering several. You have probably seen the picture of an Indian horde at the University of Texas football game. A good illustration of a dying America. So some are smart. Not necessarily so, but if they are, they are the top 1% of the top 1% of a huge population. It is criminal and inhumane for the U.S. to deprive poorer countries of its smartest citizens. Study Hinduism. Nothing could be more repulsive to a healthy Western consciousness.

Dr. Wilson, I wanted to just post this to apologize for my past nasty, hateful remarks. They were cruel and uncalled for. We may still have some disagreements, but I consider you a champion and great spokesman of the southern cause. I even own a few volumes of the Calhoun papers you helped to edit. I hope you accept my apology, and you had great insights on this post

Brian, I have no idea who you are or what remarks you are referring to. I prefer to deal with people with real names.

Jean Raspail's dystopian novel of the inundation of the White West by the mud deluge,"The Camp of the Saints," has reappeared in a timely manner.

Yes, as recently as the 1990s, this would have been unthinkable. I recall as a boy how hearing a foreign language anywhere in my community was borderline shocking. Now, a three-mile trip to the nearest soccer fields turns me into a minority.

When a man as crude, as ignorant, and as wicked as Donald J Trump can ascend to the highest political office in the land, a country has certainly lost its way. Of course he is not the first to have these ignoble characteristics. Think one of Trump’s heroes, the execrable Abraham Lincoln.
