Western civilization will not survive 'suicidal empathy'
'The barbarians are not at the gate; they're inside. We let them in'

I recently saw the wonderful 1962 movie "How the West Was Won," which dramatized the westward expansion from the Erie Canal to the closing of the frontier.
The cast included trappers and homesteaders, prospectors and railroad men, sheriffs and outlaws.
Imagine a movie that celebrated white men bringing civilization to a savage land. How hateful! Quick, somebody call the Southern Poverty Law Center!
Americans were optimistic then – a big, brawling, confident lot who lived in an eternal spring. Now, winter is closing in fast. British historian Arnold Toynbee observed, "Civilizations die from suicide and not by murder."
The barbarians are not at the gate; they're inside. We let them in.
The foreign-born population of the United States is now 14.8% of the total, the highest ever recorded. This includes millions who invaded under President Biden, aka, the Welcome Wagon lady.
