Regular readers understand that The Economic Nationalist does not shrink from discussion of the practical implications of ethnic diversity in America. However, the news cuts both ways; the blog reports good news, too. (more…)
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. If I heard the clerk’s voice aright, live by audio feed from the Senate floor, the cloture vote was 46 to advance the bill, 53 to block it. God bless America.
Thank you for pressing your state’s senators so ardently to block the horrible immigration bill. Not all of you agree with every view this blog espouses, but we all joined together as U.S. patriots and stopped Congress from taking a large step toward dissolving America as a nation. On behalf of my children and grandchildren, with warm regards for your own, accept thanks from the bottom of my heart.
The battle for the nation is far from over, but today at least we can cheer.
Huzzah!

Donald A. Collins and Dick Lamm get it. Mr. Lamm:
If you believe that America is too smug, too self-satisfied, too rich, then let’s destroy America. It is not that hard to do. No nation in history has survived the ravages of time. Arnold Toynbee observed that all great civilizations rise and fall and that ‘An autopsy of history would show that all great nations commit suicide.’
Every economic nationalist will want to read Steve Sailer today. More importantly, every free trader should read him. (more…)
It is an article of faith among conservative American traditionalists that western civilization—Graeco-Roman civilization softened and strengthened by two thousand years of western Christianity—is superior to any other. If western civilization is indeed superior, then one would like to believe that any people, anywhere in the world, given only a chance, could and would adopt it. In the 1960s, I think, most Americans did believe that any people indeed could and would. Our current president plainly still believes, but it seems to me that fewer and fewer of the rest of us today do.
Wolf Blitzer lost last evening’s debate. Mike Huckabee won.
Mitt Romney outlines his foreign policy recently for the Council on Foreign Relations:
[E]ven the most committed neoconservative recognizes that any successful policy must be grounded in reality and even the most hardened realist admits that much of the United States’ power and influence stems from its values and ideals.
In political journalism, few things are more common, or more tiresome, than the journalist who asks the candidate, “You don’t really think that you can win, do you?” Such questions are rude, unilluminating, unclever, small-hearted and all too typical among today’s unworthy press establishment.
