I don't want any special favors from the government, I just don't want them to take away what I've got and give it to someone else. Anyway, the minorities have already taken over the government and, truth be known, they're probably not doing any worse of a job running it than anybody ever has. Government, by its very nature, is clumsy and inefficient, and it's a good thing it is, or else we would all be their slaves by now. What I'm worried about is the minorities taking over the land and crowding us right off of it. They have already done that in the big cities, but that's okay because I don't want to live there anyway.
It's funny how, if everybody went back to the land of their ancestors, there wouldn't be room for them. All the Jews in the world would never fit into Israel, and all the Czechs in the world would never fit into the Czech Republic. This is not a new development either. The reason there was no room at the inn when Jesus was born was that they were taking a census of the Roman Empire and everybody was required to go to their place of birth to be counted. It has been said of Cheboygan and other towns in Northern Michigan that their biggest export is high school graduates. All these kids grow up and leave town to find work and, if they all came home for the holidays at once, they would be standing elbow to elbow, blocking traffic on Main Street.
The reason so many Europeans came to America was that Europe was full and those people had to find someplace else to live. Popular mythology says that the Europeans displaced the Indians when they took over but, truth be known, there are at least as many Indians in America now as there ever was. Before European contact, these guys were hunter gatherers, spread thinly around the landscape by the necessity of their lifestyle. The Europeans just slipped in between them and eventually taught them other ways of making a living. Well, there was that unfortunate fiasco called "The Indian Removal Act of 1830", a government program passed with the best of intentions, but the Indians were not really removed, they were just relocated to different parts of the country, where their descendants still reside. Many of them were shipped to Indian Territory, which later became the State of Oklahoma, Indians and all.
If, as you say, most people like living where they are, then why are so many of them still trying to move to America? I don't think America is full yet, we've got room for more people, but why can't they be people of European extraction? I'm not saying that Europeans are any better than anybody else, only that they are just as good. The Middle Easterners, most of whom are technically White by the way, are in the process of taking over Europe, which was full a long time ago. Where are the native Europeans supposed to go after they have been pushed out? What's wrong with bringing them here where they can live amongst their own kind?
I've heard that Lincoln was not particularly fond of Black people, but I don't know that it was racial prejudice. I think he was mostly worried about all those liberated slaves wandering around the country as homeless people with no job prospects. He probably thought they would be better off in Africa, but he apparently didn't do the math. All the people of African extraction couldn't have fit back into Africa any more than all the people of European extraction could have fit back into Europe.
When I read about Evans I thought at first that the headline writer had screwed up and the article was actually a review of a bad movie. Now you tell me that there is more than one cop like that in Chicago? How can this be when the police are government employees and the government wants what's best for everybody? I find it hard to believe that Democratic politicians would tolerate a situation like that. Republicans maybe, but not Democrats! Have the Republicans slipped in and taken over your fair city? Have you bought that fast boat yet?
