Two big stories have been coming out of California. The
first is that the state has abruptly ceased to be America's
special Land of Opportunity. Its power supply is collapsing
under the weight of those who are already there, and even
they are paying out-of-sight prices for it.
The second big story out of California is
that it now has a majority of non-whites and non-Anglos
for the first time in a century and a half.
No one is allowed to say this, but the two
stories are related.
As soon as a person crosses the border from
Mexico to the United States, his wages explode upward
by several times. We are required to believe that this
is the result of Magic. There is a Magic Formula that
makes the United States what it is.
Liberals say that America is built entirely
on some liberal formulas. NATIONAL REVIEW, representing
respectable conservatives, says that America is based
on five words: "All men are created equal."
( Please see October 24, 1998 article, Five Words and Emma Lazarus).
What you are not allowed to say is that
the difference between the United States and Mexico is
a product of the PEOPLE who inhabit the United States
and Mexico. (Please see May 15, 1999 article, WORDISM).
Only a heretic like me will say what everybody
knows to be true. The major reason that Mexico is so poor
relative to the United States is because Mexicans do such
an awful job of governing themselves.
Mexican politics has historically been a
seesaw of revolutionaries who promise to right all wrongs
and military dictatorships which impose stability after
the revolution.
So as Mexicans come into America, they will
enjoy the American standard of living for a while. But
eventually they will take over, and the United States
will begin to enjoy Mexico's standard of living. The California
energy shortage is a first step in this process.
The environmental kooks took over California
and forced both parties to accept their program. This
program has caused the state, despite its enormous growth,
to stop the building of all power plants for the last
twenty years. That is liberal policy, and everybody agrees
that, if you want Hispanic votes, you have to appeal to
the left.
After all, America's left is just like the
politics of Mexico: liberalism makes enormous promises,
and what it does never WORKS.
Revolution after revolution promised to
give Mexicans a high standard of living. No country has
ever been given a higher standard of living by a leftist
regime, but particularly foolish people keep supporting
them. What happens next is that, after the revolution
fails again, reactionaries take over again.
Then the revolutionaries promise that, when
they overthrow the ruling reactionaries, everybody will
be well off.
And so on, ad infinitim.
People who will fall for that will fall
for anything.
And they do. That's why their side of the
border is poverty-stricken.
Liberals say, for example, that the first
generation of anti-Castro Cubans voted conservative, but
their children are voting "more traditionally Hispanic"
-- meaning liberal Democrat.
Liberal Democrats now dominate everything
in California. The minorities put them in power and will
keep them there.
Republicans have two simultaneous arguments
to make about this. First, they say that multiracialism
is a holy cause, and racial differences are not important
to anything. Secondly, they say that, while conservative
policies make sense and work, you simply will never sell
them to brown and black folks.
And no one ever asks if this is not just
a little bit racist. The only people who would be allowed
to point this out are liberals, and they won't say anything
because liberals like that kind of thinking.
This explains why Republicans adopted disastrous
liberal energy policies in California. They take on leftist,
sound-good policies that appeal to the brown and black
electorate, as well as to white liberals. So environmentalists
were in charge even when Republicans held power.
What happened to energy in California was
that, until the collapse came, everything that led to
it and sounded good was OK. That is third-world thinking.
So California now looks third world, and
thinks third world. Respectable conservatives will be
the first to lynch anyone who says this, which is why
it is both true and unmentioned.
