“The colonists were WASP supremacists. Without moral qualms, they drove the Indians over the mountains and established a society of white and Christian men and women along with African slaves. Catholics were unwelcome. Priests were put back on the boats that brought them. Virginia had been named for the “Virgin Queen” Elizabeth, who was determined to complete the work of her father, Henry VIII, who sought to end religious diversity in England by eradicating Catholicism. America was largely settled by colonists from the British Isles. Nearly two centuries after Jamestown and Plymouth Rock, when Washington took his oath as president, the thirteen states were 99 percent Protestant. In 1790, U.S. citizenship was opened up for “free white persons” of “moral character.” No others need apply.”

The Left affirms this but denounces it as the greatest evil.
The “Right” (so-called) denies it and denounces it as the greatest evil.
Where are all those who affirm the reality of Buchanan’s statement as well as the positive goodness of it?
Now before someone goes off the rails hyperventilating about what a “racist” I am (sorry … went to the concert and got the T-Shirt already) ask yourself if it would be wrong to complain about the Japanese having a Japanese Supremacist country in their Japanese nation or the Chinese (Han people) having a Han Supremacist country in their Han nation? If that is too complicated ask yourself if you in your own household should hold to a (fill in your family surname) supremacy. The only people who would think that are those who believe in their own supremacy to the degree they want to knock down the supremacy of those they are kvetching about.
That Buchanan is correct is seen in the Founders own language;
“We the People of the United States, in order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.”
The founders wrote, signed in session, and then ratified collectively in the several states, a document that was intended for White Anglo Saxon Christians and their posterity. There were no other people who were present at those conventions and so no other posterity is included as to why they wrote the US Constitution.
Of course, all of these simple and obvious observations are anathema to both left and “right.” They are anathema to the left because of their inherent philosophy of leveling undergirding their egalitarianism. They are anathema to the putative right because this violates their cherished principle of propositional nationhood. The neo-cons can’t accept any notion that this country was based at all on what nations are normatively based upon and that is blood. So, anybody who observes that propositional nationhood is bunkum in terms of our American history must be put down.
That the neo-cons hate this reality of America having a foundation in blood and not propositional nationhood is seen in Sen. Ben Sasse’s bloviating,
“It would be a grave mistake to reduce … the universalist principles of the Founding [for an] ethno-nationalism.”

Foreigner talking heads chime in with Sasse supporting this lie;
“There are many liberal democracies, even Republics in the world today, but no other country from its outset believed in the idea of openness and the mixture of people as central to its founding. America is a nation created on the basis of its diversity of race, religion, national origin, and there are efforts to change America, There are plans for religious and ethnic tests and to bar immigrants and even visitors and also to track visitors and immigrants when they are in the US. There have been calls to deport people, even American citizens. There are proposals to monitor houses of Worship. These ideas would fundamentally change America, tearing at its founding DNA. It would make it much more like the rest of the world. Making it one more nation in which certain ethnic groups and religions are privileged and others are outsiders. A country in which diversity is a threat to National Character rather than a strength.”

And yet the founders did not agree with this Sasse-ian and Zakarian nonsense;
“Providence has been pleased to give this one connected country to one united people, a people descended from the same ancestors, speaking the same language, professing the same religion, attached to the same principles of government, very similar in their manners and customs, without which a common and free government would be impossible.”
John Jay
Federalist #2
“The United States have already felt the evils of incorporating a large number of foreigners into their national mass; by promoting in different classes different predilections in favor of particular foreign nations, and antipathies against others, it has served very much to divide the community and to distract our councils. It has been often likely to compromise the interests of our own country in favor of another.”
Alexander Hamilton
The first step in liquidating a people — and a step that Sasse and Zakaria understand — is to erase its memory. Destroy its books, its culture, its history. Then have somebody write new books, manufacture a new culture, invent a new history. Before long the nation will begin to forget what it is and what it was. The world around will forget even faster.
Also when it comes to supremacy the Biblical Christian is duty-bound by His allegiance to His God to be convinced that Christian people build cultures that are significantly superior to other non-Christian cultures precisely because the God they serve is supreme over all other gods. If culture is religion externalized then those cultures which are a reflection of the one true God and His religion are going to be those cultures that have the supremacy. Just as not all Gods are equal, so all religions are not equal, so all cultures are not equal, so all peoples are not equal. Some peoples are superior to other peoples and those peoples should be humbly convinced of the superiority of their culture because they are convinced of the superiority of their God.
“The PROBLEM, of course, is that now we have a great deal of illegal immigration. We HAVE IMMIGRATION LAWS THAT NO LONGER FOLLOW THE OLDER PATTERN AND CONCENTRATE ON EUROPEAN COUNTRIES. We allow many, many peoples in who have nothing in common with us, who are Moslems or members of other religions and it appears that there is an effort to break the Christian heritage and character of the United States.”
