With respect to the &#034;proposition&#034; part, sir, I think you make a good point.

From what I have seen of America and its people, to be &#034;American&#034; requires accepting, at a very fundamental level, the founding principles of America: freedom as the substitution of internally rather than externally imposed discipline, adherence to and acceptance of an ultimately Christian code of morality, and a keen fear and loathing of overbearing government. There is obviously quite a bit more to it than just these things, but that is what I would consider a starting point for what it means to be &#034;American&#034;.

The problem for the &#034;magic dirt&#034; types is that most of the &#034;huddled masses yearning to breathe free&#034; will completely fail to agree with any of these propositions when examined closely.

Ultimately the &#034;proposition&#034; of America is a worldview that is quite unique, and which binds the people of this country together- a belief in an actual, geographically and culturally distinct nation called America. But a nation, by definition, cannot also be &#034;magic dirt&#034;.]]></description>

And that&#039;s one of the areas where Vox and I differ.  I&#039;ve stated my position on VP often enough that there&#039;s no sense in going after it every day.  I&#039;d end up doing nothing else.  But there is a difference, an important one and true, between magic dirt theory / proposition nation, which means, as practiced, a 100% proposition nation, and a real nation that has some element of proposition to it.  I&#039;m pretty sure Vox understands the difference but is engaged in rhetoric for the benefit of the great unwashed.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Vox and I have our philosophical differences, of course, but I think the most profound thing he&#039;s said was to the effect that savagery means the inability to link cause and effect.  I think that, could those 200 or so have been rounded up and crucified in public that it would have done a lot to reduce the level of savagery and increase the degree of civilization.]]></description>

Well that presumes that there are enough whites around with the will and the means to take things back. That&#039;s going to increasingly become a challenge as whites become a racial minority in their own land.]]></description>

&#034;Magic Dirt&#034; theory is rapidly running out of credibility. I don&#039;t think it will be too long before whites start gunning up in sufficient numbers that black predation upon them will become more dangerous for the predators than their intended prey.

When that happens... look out below.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[One of Vox&#039;s and Stefan &#039;s comments last night on the podcast was how people from different intellectual walks were coming to largely the same conclusions. Sure, Sarah Hoyt is less nationalist and still buys into the magic dirt theory, to oversimplify (and to be honest, given my parentage, I understand - THIS is my home, I&#039;ll never fit in back in the &#034;home&#034; country, but I also know how rare I am within the family and others like it) - but while she doesn&#039;t push as far, she, Eric Raymond, and even to a degree Correia, plus Milo Y, Stefan, Anonymous Conservative, Dalrock, Colin Flaherty, etc. have all been coming to the same general neighborhood of conclusions on a number of issues. Watching Eric state at one point that he is no longer sure a liberal society that pushes equality for women as he and his wife would like it is one that will survive to continue to do so was... interesting.  ]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Sad thing is, if someone were to snap and kill some of these diversity hires in self defense, they would find themselves in prison for life. White people need to leave cities en masse and settle in small communities in flyover country. When the hindus-n-dindus eventually kill each other and burn it all down, we can buy it back for pennies on the dollar, or just take it free.]]></description>
