Comments on: What is a Culture?

A wise man said culture is the interaction of tradition with experience. When tradition is respected and experience changes slowly, cultures become strongly fixed in the populace. Erosion of respect and rapid change of circumstances imperil a culture. That is precisely the aim of Cloward-Piven.

Our republic was founded by faithful Christians in a time of choosing. They chose opportunity for individuals through freedom, at great risk, by escaping the Crown and the established mercantile and class structure of a growing imperial Britain. The fruits of their courage and sacrifice were a burgeoning culture of individuals who chose to cooperate and the first government in human history created to serve the will of the governed.

For every republic in human memory, success has led to empire, and empire led to vitiation and collapse. Between 472 BC and 1453 AD, Roman culture grew, evolved, waned, recovered, and finally collapsed. This must be the longest lasting social and legal cooperative to exist. The collapse of Roman society has shocking parallels in today’s America: maintenance of empire at the sacrifice of the homeland; debasement of currency; social disintegration; eroding morality; and economic polarization – none of which prevailed when the founders cobbled together our way of life.

It is very difficult to see how the invaders will not conquer our land.

In reply to gleion.

When I read Ms. Wolf, I feel the same way. She is finally seeing the obvious, but fails to bring the picture into coherent focus.

I think she still believes the older leftist lies about the fantasy “propositional nation.” She most likely thinks of “equality” as sameness of both being (ontology) and economic outcome rather than impartial protection from crime and injustice (equality before the law).

Reading her articles always makes me think, “Well, duh!” And she is obviously an intelligent woman.

I was in an emergency room last night in Toronto, Canada last night and it was like being in a third world hell hole. There were third world people from all over the world. Women in sub-Saharan clothing with tattoos on their hands, Arabs, Asians, all over the world.

It was no longer the city I grew up in and loved. Why are white peoples denied the right to maintain the integrity of our cultures? Why must we allow ourselves to be overrun by cultures and people who don’t have anything in common with us?

No other cultures or countries in the world would allow this – to completely allow themselves voluntarily to be erased from existence.

The future is here and it is Hell. Our politicians and leaders completely undermined us. Why?

Unfortunately, Ms. Wolf is too blinkered to understand that it has been she herself and her fellow travelers on the Left who are responsible for both the barely restricted immigration policies and the “all cultures are equal” stance that has produced the misery she now hates. Further, she gives no credit to the societies in the West that started from a far better place than this culture she declines to identify, You want to talk about women’s status at the birth of this country? Fine. Women may not have had the right to vote or own property—but there was always a certain deference expected of men toward women that is wholly lacking in that other culture she is describing. Moreover, the gains that women have made in the West have been largely through peaceful means. Does she contend that women might be able to do that in this other culture? To Ms. Wolf’s credit, she does seem at this late age to finally understand and be able to articulate the cultural norms that we take as our birthright—and she can clearly see that that way of life is seriously threatened. It is too bad she is not capable of enough self reflection or honesty to own up to her contribution to this grand mess in which we now find ourselves. Welcome to the party Ms. Wolf.

A kind of modern variant of the urge to commit treason. And Dr. Wolf should read, if she has not already done so, Nonie Darwish’s book, Now They Call Me Infidel.

”The guard discusses the fact that illegal aliens are purchasing and operating motor vehicles without having licenses;”

I bet you think that they are purchasing those vehicles from individuals, right? Wrong, some of the car lots in Charlotte,NC advertise on La Raza Radio that they sell cars even to people who have no license.
We need a “” Dram Shop”” like law to stop this stupidity.

Dram shop
A dram shop act is a law that holds bars, taverns, and other alcohol-serving businesses liable for serving alcohol to a visibly intoxicated person or a minor who causes injuries to another person. Learn the definition, examples, cases, and processes of dram shop cases in the U.S. and how to prove them.

Gee, one might think it’s not all just one big coinky-dink but, instead, is intentional and certainly not meant to benefit the U.S. Oh, and did you know that there are rest camps for these invaders, oops, I mean migrants, in Panama at the north end of the Darien Gap where they can rest up after traversing the gap? I almost forgot to mention that the Chinese have their own areas in the camps that are fenced off from the rest and reporters are not allowed to speak with them and that we had about 23,000 (i.e., about a brigades worth) Chinese “immigrants” last year come across our southern border and have nearly equalled that number so far just since this past October? WTF is going on here?
