After warning that a decline in the white birth rate will lead to the demise of American culture, Eagle Forum is now attacking racial and religious minorities for supposedly trying to tear down traditional American culture and undermine Americanism. As Kyle noted yesterday, Roger Schlafly (son of Eagle Forum founder Phyllis Schlafly) is taking a page from Bill OReilly in blaming President Obamas re-election on Democrats who have been badmouthing traditional American values and increasing government dependence. Schlafly, who earlier claimed that people should fear that immigrants do not share American values and will not be voting Republican, writes that Republicans and WASP culture are the last bastions of traditional American values against non-whites, non-Christians, and non-marrieds.
America was founded by WASPs -- White Anglo-Saxon Protestants. They had nuclear families, attended church, and believed in the Protestant work ethic. Republicans are seen as believing in traditional American values.
Democrats campaign largely by badmouthing traditional American values, and convincing various demographic groups that they are outside the Republican base, and hence better off voting Democrat. So non-whites, non-Christians, and non-marrieds vote Democrat out of group identifications. That is, they see it as being in their group interests to tear down traditional American culture.
Democrats never persuade voters based on reason or logic. They gain voters by increasing government dependence and by promoting changes to immigration policy, family law, and schools that increase the population wanting to undermine Americanism.
We used to have independent voters who decided elections by voting for who they thought were the better candidates. This election has convinced everyone that now elections are determined msinly(sic) by demographics.

I have to say I get some serious schadenfreude from seeing, these nuts come unglued. America is changing and there is nothing they can do to stop it.
