hollowness of the artificial Americanism that first suppressedrnthe authentic European cultures that had held on in this AmericanrnHesperia—French and German, Southern and Midwesternrn—and now is attempting to turn the United States into a PacificrnRim economy with a black and Mexican underclass, arnnightmare Erehwon, in which we are free to take drugs, molestrnchildren, and kill ourselves whenever keeping our carcass alivernbecomes too costly—to do anything but good, to be anythingrnbut European Americans.rnI ean Raspail sees us perhaps more clearly than we do our-rnJ selves. He is like his own creation, the retired professor inrnCamp of the Saints, who watches the savages as they land.rnMany decent Americans who read the book reacted with fear:rn”Disgusting—what if it happened to us?” But there is a farrnmore frightening scenario to be played out, when de-EuropeanizedrnAmericans lead their Third World comrades in an assaultrnon the last bastions of our civilization.rnSouth Africa. Bosnia. New Orleans. Then on to St. Petersburg,rnto London and Paris, and to Rome, where even now anrnItalian government is being forced by ordinary Italians to turnrnback the invasion of Albanian Muslims. The Italian press, itrngoes without saying, is playing out the script that M. Raspail hasrnwritten, and the Lega Nord’s Umberto Bossi is among the fewrnpolitical leaders to speak the truth. Gianfi-anco Fini and the exfascistsrnspend their time getting even with Bossi and winningrnpoints with the leftists who own Italy as their friends own thernUnited States.rnIt is time to draw a line in the sand, dividing those who willrndefend Europe and America from their enemies: multiculturalistsrnon the left flank and corporate multinationalists on thernright. The multiculturalist flank attacks openly, replacingrnShakespeare not with Cervantes but with courses on black Chicanarnlesbian writers. The multinationalists are more powerfulrnand more subversive. Speaking the language of liberty andrndemocracy, they dream of a global society populated by facelessrnworker-consumers who never learned the names of their grandparents.rnIf Attila were at the gates of Paris, they would be sellingrntheir daughters to the Huns and haggling over the price.rnIn taking our stand as American Europeans, we must avoidrnthe god’s eye view abstractions put forward by neoconservativerndefenders of a “Euro-American” civilization that has never existed.rnWe are not generically European, any more than we arerngenerically white. Generic Europeans do not write villanelles,rndrink beer, or eat pasta. They do these things as Frenchmen,rnGermans, and Italians. This neonationalist vision of a Euro-rnAmerican Union has the harsh, mechanical smell of anotherrnartificial union manufactured in Brussels, not the honest stinkrnof Hampshire, Normandy, or Calabria.rnThe best way to defend Europe in America is to preserve therndistinctive regional and ethnic cultures that Europeans createdrnon this continent. “Oh,” say the neonationalist neoconservatives,rn”that means dividing the nation.” Nonsense. So long asrnwe have common enemies, we can never overlook the commonrnfoundations that underlie the cultures of St. Martinville,rnLouisiana, and Martinsville, Virginia.rnQuite apart from the political task that confronts us—limitingrnimmigration, taking back our schools and imiversities fromrnthe vandals with Ph.D.’s and Ed.D.’s who have destroyedrnthem—we must never forget that our primary task is to exemplifyrnthe civilization we are trying to defend. Before they succumbedrnto barbarism, the people of Paestum constructed a setrnof temples which even today make their town one of the mostrnbeautiful spots in Italy. It is up to us—Louisiana Cajuns, VermontrnYankees, Minnesota Squareheads—to preserve and repairrnthe odd bits and pieces of civilization that our hometownsrnrepresent.rnOnce upon a time America was the land of Romantic Babbitts,rnwho dreamed of making Zenith City more beautiful thanrnanything their social superiors would see on the grand tour ofrnthe Continent. Depression, war, and over a half-century ofrnMarxist bureaucracy destroyed that dream, and the currentrncrop of anti-European race-baiters and self-hating whites arernbusily pithing our frontal lobes and implanting false historicalrnmemories to keep us stupid and servile. We have become arnrace of serfs and helots with no recollection of who we were andrncould be again.rnLiving well, so the saying goes, is the best revenge, and ourrnmost terrible vengeance against the system is to have childrenrn(our rulers hate life) and to teach them the love of liberty and arnproper contempt for the alien political system that is robbingrnthem of their birthright. crnC 0 M I X G !rnThe Rockford Institute’srnFirst Annual Summer Schoolrn(OPEN TO STUDENTS OF ALL AGES!)rn”R edefining thernAmerican Right:rnFrom Aristotle tornPat Buchanan”rn%00^’ir-rn27 TuLY-1 AUGUSTrnAPRIL 1998/13rnrnrn
