Entry: Jonah Goldberg Takes on Ron Paul Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/jonah_goldberg_takes_on_ron_paul#11702 Post contents: @Spartacus, Yes, of course, Spain, England, and France all claimed the area that became known as the Carolinas, but any--any--historian knows that there were NO Spanish settlements that lasted above St. Augustine. I was speaking, if you will go back and read my original message of where I live (NOT Florida, NOT New Orleans)--North Carolina. And except for Indians, there were NO Spaniards settled within 500 miles. So, yes, I wish you a blessed Advent also, and good reading in American history. By the way, I must insist once again, I am by no means anti-Hispanic. My doctoral work was in Spain, I spent four years there, and a year teaching in Argnetina. I am fluent in Spanish and have travelled in Latin America, where I have friends. But North Carolina has never been a Hispanic colony, and frankly I do not want to to become one. For me it is not a matter of what religion Mexicans may profess; it is a matter of the culture that I am part of hinc et nunc. Sent at: 2008 07 06
