I know a lot of people laugh at this, but hey, look around Southern California...and elsewhere.

How much has already happened?

...The Reconquista Movement Takes Hold

At its core, the claim of the Reconquista (“Reconquest”) movement is that the United States stole large sections of the southwestern United States from Mexico in the 1800s. Mexicans and other Hispanics making these claims seek to reconquer this territory by taking the land away from the United States and returning it to Mexico. The goal of the Reconquista is to “reconquer” these “lost” or “stolen” territories for “La Raza”—the race indigenous to Mexico.

How will the Reconquista be accomplished? Today, millions of Mexican illegal immigrants are pouring into the United States. None of these illegal aliens are checked in any way. They live in the United States while swearing their allegiance to Mexico. By their sheer presence and numbers, those in the Reconquista movement believe that a time will come when they can take political control of local communities where Hispanics are the majority. The ultimate dream of the Reconquista movement is that political control can be gained in one or more southwestern states. Reconquista activists plan that the states controlled by Mexican immigrants would secede from the United States and join Mexico, much as the southern states seceded during the American Civil War and formed the Confederacy...

Hate to say it, but we must look at ourselves. One of the Reconquista advocates states what is a major element in this situation.

"We are millions. We just have to survive. We have an aging, white America. They are not making babies. They are dying. It’s a matter of time. The explosion is in our population."

Demography is destiny and the future belongs to those who actually reproduce. Same is true in Europe with the Muslims.

Why Americans and Europeans refuse to have children is quite amazing given how wealthy we both are, but I see it as indicative of the same death wish which has characterized American foreign and military policy since WWII. Vietnam was the apogee of that surrender policy and Barack Obama is its best representative since we began to deflate as a national power, once proud of its heritage and convinced of its high purpose.

This inability of the West to believe in itself, to defend itself, was well documented in James Burnham's excellent 1964 work, "The Suicide of the West", in which he sets forth the underlying tenets of Liberalism and their inevitable consequences. Good precis here, if you have never read it: http://www.chiltonwilliamson.com/books/t...f_the_west.html

Am I a pessimist about the West's and America's future ? You betcha, but I also have faith in God and that somehow, maybe after some needed chastisement, the American people will eschew the worst evils of the land (#1: abortion) and get back down on their knees and then He will heal the land.

That is my hope and that is the end of my sermon.

God bless America and may she deserved to be blessed.
