Sid, what are your credentials. Exactly what credentials does one need to be a race denier? Most are social scientists who are embarrassed by the stubborn facts of hard science.

To me it sounds like you have a PhD in Sophistry from PC University.

Nonetheless, let me be educated: Pray tell, Dr. Wilson, Red, et al.: If “race” is so self-evident to "universal observation", then the number of them most be equally self-evident, yes? Then just how many “races” are there? Here are your choices:

1. three? – the view of Gobineau, so risible that every other scientific racialist rejected it at once, including Francis Galton, Houston Stewart Chamberlain, George Schönerer, and Adolf Josef Lanz, and ol Adi himself, because #2 infra replaced it. Or find me, please any scientific racialist/racist who still believes in three races. Hell, find me any scientific racialist.

2. Several hundred? – the view of Georges Vacher de Lapouge, William Z. Ripley, Madison Grant, Joseph Deniker, and Alfred Ploetz. Even the groupings Teutonic, Celtic, Slavic, Italic, Bantu, Nilotic, Khoikhoi, Khwe are, for this view, just collections of races. If this view is true, then I wish to make a shocking and wondrous revelation to the world: I myself am a product of "miscegenation". For I am a Borderer/Backcountry (misnamed “Scots Irish”; we are neither), we have our origin on the Borders of Scotland and England, we go back at least a millennium, and we are mixed.

Our “race” first was most likely the (1) aboriginal Britons, the folk that built Stonehenge. Then came the Celts, and that Celtic race that mixed with us the most were the (2) “Britons”, pushed to western England later by the West Teutons. Another Celtic race, (3) the Gaelic speaking Scots, invaded Scotland from Ireland, drove out the Picts, and mixed with us as well. The West-Teuton (“Anglo-Saxon”) race that next mixed with us were the Angles, specifically those Northumbrian Angles called (4) the Bernicians. In time (5) the Mercians, the (6) East Anglians, and (7) the Saxons (East, South, West) interbred with us. Then came the North Teutons: First the (8) Viking Danes of Danelaw, then the (9) Normans. In the reign of James I of England, some of us were moved to Ulster, a process that was accelerated by William of Orange (thus we’re called “hillbillies” to this day), and we mixed with (10) the local Irish. We started coming in droves to America c. 1717, and went straight to the Southern Piedmont and Northeastern Backcountry, and we’ve been moving west ever since. Some “indentured servants” of the VA Cavaliers, originating in (11) southwest and midland England, fled from the Tidewater to the Backcountry, and interbred with us. Then (12) Aboriginal Americans (“Indians”) interbred with us too, the Indian Removal Bill notwithstanding.

Go to an SCV meeting and look around. Dixie’s army was overwhelmingly Backcountry. Survey your SCV camp as to eye color, hair color, body-build, facial shape, head shape, height, and whether they turned to lobsters in the sun or to Indians. Result: We’re all types. If if these traits aren’t “race” then what the hell is race?! Skin color? With the eye at the camp you will see a skin variety from ghostly pale to swarthy. So, were one to follow this numbering of “races”, these folk would be mulattoes.

3. Six Billion? – the view of anyone who is a professional molecular biologist, since this is the most tangible and observable category, and thus the most scientific. It is also the view most in harmony with Personalism. Each person is his own race.

4. One? – the logical consequence of #3.

I subscribe to ## 3 and 4. If you subscribe to 1 or 2, please present first your credentials with respect to molecular biology, and thus to organic chemistry, and thus also prove to me that you have Mendeleev’s Table memorized. Any "competence" in Craniometry doesn't qualify you.

From what I see and read of what is going on in the Throne City, the American Empire is not going to be Brazil with delusions of grandeur. A closer analogy would be Argentina, but on a much larger scale. The unsustainable burden of entitlements will see to that, and quite soon. (Make no investments in US companies that will mature past 2020; you heard it here first.) The delusions of the leadership cadre will be brought crashing down about 90 seconds after the Red Chinese decide to call the trillion or so dollars in US Treasuries they own.

Concerning the motley collection of GOP candidates: the American commonoriate recognizes the difficulties it faces, at least subconsciously, and is looking for a candidate that will give it the sense of security it craves. The problem is that there is no such candidate out there---the political system is not designed to produce one. McCain's position on immigration is but a small part of the problem; he has no platform that addresses the real difficulties the country will face in the future. In my opinion, Giuliani is ahead in the race for two reasons: his perceived "toughness" immediately after 9/11 and the desire on the part of many Republicans (even the so-called "social conservatives") to abandon what they see as the political albatross of abortion. The average rank-and-file GOPer sees a pro-life stand as being morally right, but politically wrong. Perhaps the front-line Republican Party reptiles are finally coming around to the fact that they live in an essentially libertine, anti-Christian milieu.

As to the Constitution; the entire notion of limited government was repudiated with America's entry into World War I. Statists of both parties, having tasted military and political victory in 1917, were able to embark on a program of expanded government and "hollowing out" of other intermediating institutions, until today we have the centralized, top-heavy Imperial state that plies our elderly with "entitlements" while it suffocates their working relatives with murderous taxes.

The American character has been denatured, Dr. Wilson. The elites have tasted real power, wealth and (especially) control and become even more corrupted than they traditionally have been. The commoners have gone from being individual, whole people to being soft and pampered employees who all too easily defer to their corporate and bureaucratic masters. The Boston Tea Party would not be possible today; it might cause someone to miss the next episode of "American Idol" or damage someone's self-esteem. God knows we can't have that.

Alas, I do know how it is spelled: TIVOed.

I would suggest that you are making the wrong distinctions with regard to race, and I do not believe Red's characterization of race has any meaning that leads to Nazism. Neither is the state in and of itself a creation of Signore Machiavelli, but it should take reams to address what is the state and what it is not and who created it. Arguably Plato's conception of the State in Republic is more totalitarian than Machiavelli's.

It is one thing to say that ascribing positive and negative qualities to someone based on race is a form of racialism, or that denying them rights and/or personhood is a form of the same. However, to claim that race has nothing to do with a person's make up or has no contributing factor to their culture I find rather silly. I studied under Dr. Crosby and have a healthy appreciation for Personalism, even as a Bonaventurian, though I have some disagreements. Yet I fail to see how identifying race as such does such violence to the human person. It certainly is not everything, yet neither is it meaningless.

Now, more importantly, to actually react to Dr. Wilson's article, I should say it is odd that Giuliani, or Romney should be as popular as they are, since most Americans are frustrated over the Iraq war, most are tired of it and want it to go away, yet those who supported it all along, and even support attacks against Iran such as those named supra, are still at the top of the polls. I think the real reason is the fact that 50 years of television has rendered the average American incapable of cognitive thought beyond what is for dinner and what in the world is going to happen now that the Sopranos is over? They fit into a mold, Republican good, Democrat bad, or vice versa, or a healthy disgust for the whole system and refuse to vote. No one seems to gauge that a third party may in fact succeed if it was begun at a grass roots level, with a clear and obvious platform of limited government and well divided property, protections for American businesses and workers. First elections could be held locally in several states, before energy and money was to be burned off on a national campaign slated for failure before it is off the ground. Then with seats in local legislatures, state legislatures, and some congressional seats, then the party has recognizability beyond a tv ad, especially if candidates are appearing at the local level and not depending on expensive TV ads which will only be "Teeboed" (I have no idea how that is spelled, I don't own a tv and have never had the need for such a device!) Then it might be possible to put forth a presidential candidate, after working for several years toward that end.
But it is probably too late, we're out of time. We'll go to war with Iran, gas will be $12 a gallon, all our jobs will be outsourced to slave labour in China, the economy will stagnate and slavery will be proposed as a means to keep things running (under such nice names as service), the compassionate way to keep people alive, and as Belloc predicted we will return to the slave economy of the classical world. Oh well. I'm too cynical for such an endeavor, but if anyone else is game!

-- slavery and the slave trade ("Sketch of a Negro Code"),
-- Catholic Emancipation in Ireland ("Tract on the Popery Laws", "Address on the Gordon Riots", "Letter to a Peer of Ireland", ""Letter to Richard Burke on Protestant Ascendancy in Ireland", "Letter to Hercules Langrische",
-- India and Warren Hastings ("Speech on Mr. Fox's East India Bill", "Speech on the Nabob of Arcot's Debt", and selection from speeches impeaching Warren Hastings)
-- taxation and capitalism ("Thoughts and Details on Scarcity", "Speech on American Taxation", "Conciliation with the Colonies")

He wished to change things too. If Burke's a "liberal", then the word now has no meaning. Soon I'll be hearing that he's a Jacobin. And he rightly feared than a small slip would soon have an bloody end, the very point of the "Reflections". And Paine indeed said that he had "the mindset of a fanatic".

Of course Burke lived before the day of scientific racialism, and thus, not infected by that virus, he judged Africans, Catholics, Irishmen, and Indians as equals.
