So, if each one of the 6,000 National
Guardsmen was on patrol an average of, say, 21 hours per week (which is
1/8th of the 168 hours in a week), that would provide one soldier per 2.6
miles of border.

Richard
Lynn's Race Differences in Intelligence
|

|
4/23/06
|
|
A common stratagem, I've found, is to assume that IQ differences matter
only if they are genetic in origin. Since no decent, civilized,
right-thinking person could possibly believe that racial differences in IQ
have any genetic basis, then racial and national differences in average IQ
can't possibly exist. Except — whatever their cause, they do exist and
do matter.

Danes and Muslims don't agree on the basics of social organization and

|
|
In that harbinger of the American future, Southern California, once the
Promised Land of the middle class, unskilled labor has become so plentiful
that now a common weekend sight is people who are paid to stand on corners
and try to catch your eye by randomly wiggling brightly colored
directional arrows, typically pointing to real estate open houses. It's
the 21st Century equivalent of the Depression-era advertising practice of
hiring unemployed men to walk around wearing sandwich board signs saying
"Eat at Joe's." And it's just as depressing.

Last summer, when Alberto Gonzales's name was first floated as replacement
for Sandra Day O'Connor, Bush lashed out at conservatives for their tepid
response. Sounding like a cross between Don Corleone and the narrator of Green
Eggs and Ham, the president bristled, "I don’t like it when a
friend gets criticized. I'm loyal to my friends. And all of a sudden this
fellow, who is a good public servant and a really fine person, is under
fire. And so, do I like it? No, I don't like it at all."

It’s supposed to be an attack on my

The French have traditionally tried to do

cultural assimilation, education in civics theories, monolingualism,
meritocracy, separation of church and state, and all the rest. This may
seem ironic, because nobody in Tikrit hates anybody worse than the neocons
hate the French. But that's the way it usually turns out with ideologues:
it's their nature to burn at the stake those heretics who deviate the most

should have allowed other pundits to force her to hire their relatives as
her authors. Or, in the manner of the U.S. Government's Diversity Visa
Lottery, she could have let randomly chosen opinion mongers write her
book. But, no, she chose the best essayists she could find. Why
shouldn't we do same with immigrants?

For our fellow Americans who actually are
laborers, it’s no longer such a happy day—or year, or career for that
matter—because the Immigration Tax falls most severely on their wages.
I'm not the most sophisticated political philosopher (as last week's
column no doubt showed). But somehow I don't think any philosophy could
justify sticking your fellow citizens at the bottom of the ladder with the
biggest bill.

The truth, however, is that Rove's minority

describes her failed prediction: "We felt [in 1988] that this country
would become more Latinized. However, with the exception of food and

not seen the kind of widespread influence that we anticipated." How

Since conquering Iraq, the Bush
Administration has been acting towards it with a timid indecisiveness
disturbingly reminiscent of the Carter years. Rather than declaring
martial law and immediately demonstrating to Iraqis who is in charge, the
White House adopted a hands-off, laissez-faire policy. This seems based on
the assumption that Iraq's looting louts, clamorous clansmen, mad mullahs,
and café conspirators were as ready for self-government as would be, say,
American Republicans. Conversely, under Rove, the Bush Administration has
treated American Republicans as if they were a treacherous conquered tribe
that must be ruled with a rod of iron. Clearly, the ideal solution would
be to ...

liberal immigration policy supposed to ensure against anti-Americanism?
Why aren't all those elite foreigners educated in America trumpeting our

As a movie critic, I see lots of films
featuring one of the more common bits of Hollywood hokum: the
multicultural criminal gang. You know, there's a white guy, a black guy,
an Asian girl, a Sikh, a Lubavitcher, an Amish farmer, a whatever. Do you
remember "The Truth About Charlie", "Femme Fatale",
"Don't Say a Word", "Atlantis", and "What's the
Worst that Could Happen?" You don't? Well, neither did I until I
looked them up. And, heck, I reviewed all of them within the last two
years. When you see a multiracial gang, you can be pretty sure the overall
movie is forgettable.

The demographic headline on the 2002

minorities." Instead, non-whites played an anticlimactic role. The

politics: the white electorate.

that building a high-tech security barricade from the Pacific to the Gulf
of Mexico would be a bargain: only $3.6 billion.

Perhaps Michael Barone has a Machiavellian plan in mind to use heavy
immigration to drive whites out of the Democratic Party and into his
Republican Party. Personally, I'm leery of this kind of political
polarization along race lines. It may be inevitable, but shouldn't we try
to explore ways as a nation to head this off? Democrats want the GOP to
commit suicide chasing the chimera of conservative-voting minorities. As I
predicted last January, the only minorities the GOP's diversity outreach
effort had a good shot at picking up were Arabs and Muslims (by easing
anti-terrorist rules). That ploy has of course proved a mistake.

In response to the atrocities, supposedly
post-nationalist Americans united in one vast surge of that most
unfashionable of emotions, patriotism. Watching 350 firemen run into the
collapsing World Trade Center towers to die heroes' deaths, we born-again
patriots instantly grasped - after a decade of low dishonest assurances
that we should put our trust in multicultural sensitivity or UN
Conferences or foreign presidentes or globalized markets - the
simple but stern law of national survival, "We must love one another
or die," love one another enough to sacrifice for our nation, even
unto death.
