Entry: Further Notes on Nationalism Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/further_notes_on_nationalism#23549 Post contents: Daniel McCarthy simply ignores much of American history, from Federalist 2 to the first Militia law to the Chinese Exclusion Acts to the 1924 Immigration law. And as to America being an ideological nation, one would have to as, compared to what? France was truly an ideological nation, seeking to spread its Revolution. It is not true that America did the same -- even the Monroe doctrine was more of a defensive measure than a support for revolution in the hemisphere. The Westward Expansion was, until very recently, treated as the expansion of Anglo-Saxon and Celt and closely related peoples (the Germans and Scandanavians who settled much of the upper plains) It was only when the victory of that nation was complete -- Indian wars done, Asian immigration stopped, very little hispanic immigration , that it could be magnanimous and open up its polity -- internally. Of course, the last 40 years of unprecedented immigration, in terms of numbers and place of origin, have undone that. But what we have is not some sort of new nation forming, but the old nation retreating (settling in, say, the great basin or the north west). The question is, why did this happen? Part of the answer is quite frankly Jewish ideologues -- as Kevin McDonald has shown. Part of the answer is that American Americans were simply to comfortable. But now we are beginning to see the backlash. However much you decry white nationalism its coming. Sent at: 2008 10 13
