[Comment continued]: No one in public life, whether conservative or liberal, Republican or Democrat, ever dares to openly reject the one-worldist belief system. Mr. Buchanan stands alone as the singular exception. Until a mass movement arises which openly, and proudly, advances an alternative position to this belief system, the march of fragmentation and diversity will continue. --despite the fact that a huge part of the population, perhaps even the majority, is unhappy with the results.

Yes, "we" (meaning the populace of the U.S., legal and illegal) are losing any real sense of shared culture, values, and identity that could hold us together.

"Diversity" is actually a core tenet of a belief system to which virtually everyone in American public life today subscribes. That belief system, which, for lack of a better term, can be called one-worldism, also includes tenets such as: the march toward a single integrated world economy is both inevitable and beneficial; anyone who comes to America and at least purports to espouse tolerance of others deserves to be called an American with all the rights of citizenship; there is no such thing as an inherent conflict between religions or ethnic groups; any concept of "us" and "them," especially when it resides in the minds of the traditionally white, Christian American majority, is fundamentally evil.
