Well, there you have it.

According to the Pew Research Center, America in 2050 will not only be a much more populous country (450 million), it will also be a country consisting of minority populations. Hispanic, Black, Asian, and White minorities will have to learn how to get along in a parliamentarian way, I suppose. Diversity will no longer be the order of the day, for we shall already be there. Multi-culturalists will no doubt celebrate the occasion as the dawn of their new day. Now the question is, what will it all mean for us all? Will the famous "Melting Pot" analogy still apply? It doesn't appear so, does it?

To help speed the process along will, of course, necessitate the electing to national office of the Liberal Left. For it is they who champion open, porous borders. It is they who see no harm in even fewer numbers of working Americans supporting greater numbers of dependent Americans: The elderly and the children; those who can't or won't work; the infirm and the disabled; and let us not forget the political Elite.

Will this be an America defined by it's Founders Constitutional protections? Will, in fact, our Constitution be an amalgam of foreign thought? Will there even be a Constitution? In short, will there be an America?

If the Pew scholars are correct, then we have a lot to think about in the next 42 years. Remember, time flies. Why just 40 plus years ago, President Johnson and Soviet Premier Alexei Kosygin met in Glassboro, New Jersey. The place was called Hollybush, the home of Glassboro State College's president. I was there coordinating the video feed for all major tv networks. The point is, I remember that day as if it were just yesterday. Time sure flies.

No, this coming presidential election is not about race, or gender. It is and should be about ideals, American ideals. We should care less about foreign thoughts of us, and more about what we think of ourselves. We should stress our principled belief system, such as it is, to our young, and to ourselves. We either believe in freedom and liberty, or they shall perish before our eyes. We either hold to the tenets of a lawful society, or fall to anarchical tendencies. We either believe in our benevolence, and that of a loving Creator, or we lose our national sense of purpose.

In the end, it truly is about belief, isn't it? Ask yourself, "What do I believe in"? The answer, if forthcoming, may indeed surprise you...
