France for the French is the cry being heard across Gaul as a never ending tide of immigrants washes up on the shores of the Riviera. Pat Buchanan writes that nationalism is what is working for Russia, India, Poland, Hungary, and even here in America, stating that “nation-states are created and best suited to protect and defend a separate and unique people, with its separate and unique history and culture.” Pat writes (abridged):
Western elites may deplore the return of nationalism. But they had best not dismiss it, for assertions of national and tribal identity appear to be what the future is going to be all about.
Some attendees at the CPAC conclave this past week were appalled that Britain’s Nigel Farage and France’s Marion Le Pen were present.
But Farage was the man most responsible for Brexit, the historic British decision to leave the EU. Le Pen is perhaps the most popular figure in a National Front party that won 35 percent of the vote in the runoff election won by President Emmanuel Macron.
And the most unifying stand of the NF appears to be “Let France be France!” The French people do not want their country invaded by unassimilable millions of migrants from Africa and the Islamic world.
They want France to remain what she has been. Is this wrong?
Is preservation of a country, the national family one grew up in, not conservative?

Why are European peoples who wish to halt mass migration from across the Med, to preserve who and what they are, decried as racists?
Eighty-five percent of the white folks who lived in Rhodesia, prior to “majority rule,” are gone from Zimbabwe. More than half of the white folks who made South Africa the most advanced and prosperous country on the continent are gone.
Does anyone think Angela Merkel looks like the future?
Nationalism sustains Vladimir Putin. Nationalism and its unique identity as a Hindu nation unites and powers India.
Here, today, it is “America First” nationalism.
