From The Great Gatsby:
“Civilization’s going to pieces,” broke out Tom violently. “I’ve gotten to be a terrible pessimist about things. Have you read “The Rise of the Colored Empires’ by this man Goddard?”
“Why no,” I answered, rather surprised by his tone.”
“Well, it’s a fine book, and everybody ought to read it. The idea is if we don’t look out the white race will be—will be utterly submerged. It’s all scientific stuff; it’s been proved.”
And here’s Mark Steyn, approvingly quoting L. Paul Bremer.
It is a fact of history that Europe is based on Judeo-Christian values. But Europe seems unwilling, or perhaps afraid, to acknowledge this reality…
European countries have a large, and in most places, growing Muslim population. […] Europe also faces a demographic time bomb. The population of every major European country is falling. This will place unsustainable burdens on the elaborate and expensive welfare programs built up over the decades. As the Muslim populations grow in proportion to overall populations, it is vital that Europe find a way to integrate peaceful Muslims while defeating extremists.
Uh-huh. So let me get this straight.
The man who was the Bush administration’s viceroy in Iraq, the guy who was handpicked to wield complete dictatorial control over one of the largest Muslim countries in the world after the United States bombed, invaded, conquered and occupied it, the guy who then promptly reduced the place to a nightmarish, zombies-walking-the-streets hellhole — turns out to be a Tom Buchnanesque asshole who frets publicly about the Great Brown Hordes irrevocably staining the lily-white tapestry of Europe.
Pretty easy to see why it all went so well over there, isn’t it?
