re: If you aren't born here, you really shouldn't be allowed to hold public office.

Local and state level should be allowed.

But in the White House on a federal level, maybe not

All I know is that the tolerance of the United States is going to cause the descendants of the white men who built it to lose power and influence on the world stage - eventually to the point of insignificance.

Women and (current) minorities are going to vote white males out of power at every turn as the decades go by and ultimately control the resources, innovation, and military might of the nation that probably still will be maintained off the backs of white men. And once it’s gone, it’s gone.

Many years ago I used to live in Selma, AL., a major location of the Civil Rights era. A man named Joe Smitherman (a white man) was the mayor there from 1964-2000.

In 1965, the white/black population was about 50/50. By 2000, the white/black population was about 30/70 and Smitherman lost the mayoral race to a black man. A black man has been the mayor of Selma ever since and with a white/black ratio that is now easily 20/80, that will never change.

This is a microcosm of the future of the USA regarding white people and current minorities in general. Minorities breed like crazy (even strategically) and they are hungry (women too) for the power that the white man has had for a long time now - and we are gradually giving it to them.

Maybe you consider that a good thing - or maybe not. I’m just telling you what’s going to happen. “Brown and black” countries and communities don’t give a frick about diversity, and they will only care about it here until they become the majority.

The founding fathers were all immigrants

Shouldn't be able to buy land either.

white landowning men should be the only one to vote.

I hope this is sarcasm...

if you look at the first 21 years following 1788 (ratification of the Constitution) would've been very problematic in finding office holders "born in the USA"

Are blacks all minorities?

The poster gave a long screed about Selma. Most of those minorities there sure are.

No

I'm not tied to any particular policy "solution" to what ails us

But clearly an open-border country where you don't have to look, speak, worship, believe or act in any given way (or within a range of ways) is barely a country at all. People will act like saying that is controversial and pretend that's not the case here, but it obviously is.

There is no creed you have to agree to, no language you have to speak, no God you have to believe in, no general mores/customs/etc. you have to subscribe to in order to be an American per a big swath of the country. That swath dominates academia and our government bureaucracy. Entertainment. Journalism.

It's insanity. It's like going to an airport and the first 10 people you pass are the ones you have to pool resources with and live together for the rest of your life. It's dumb.
