youth for western civilization

This past week, there have been fliers across my campus promoting "YWC: Youth for Western Civilization": a group whose national mission statement aims to encourage "support of Western history, identity, high culture, and pride and opposition to radical multiculturalism, political correctness, racial preferences, mass immigration, and socialism. [www.westernyouth.com]." They also want to enable the conservative movement to act on a local, campus level instead of being focused on larger politics.

Cool. I'm pro-Western civilization. I think a Great Books curriculum should be taught at UNC, I like The Constitution and all that has come from it, ice cream, and technology. I really think that this one has the most potential to give the most people their freedoms (although, someone could argue otherwise with me on that one and I could be swayed).

However, I'm not about to join a white supremacist group (and honestly, I recognize that despite good public intentions, this could turn out to be an all-white-boys-club)--so, I was going to protest the protest of the YWC meeting.

However, I did a bit of googling first. Turns out that the Vanderbilt chapter of this organization (and yes, when you join a national group, you are responsible for what other chapters say) says the following about the subversion of Western values: "Mass immigration without regards to assimilation. Illegal immigration. Affirmative action. And multicultural ideology."

Okay, guys (yes guys), you have it wrong. Western civilization isn't about dressing the part, it isn't about speaking English or going to church. A good example of Western civilization is The Constitution--it's freedom, independence, and basic rights (in the life, liberty & the pursuit of happiness sense). Illegal immigration nor immigration erode at Western civilization--instead, they are the force behind Western civilization. I promise you man, your average immigrant has the ideas behind the Founding America far more squarely in his head than the smartest college student.

So, YWC. I believe in your right to assemble, to discuss without feeling threatened or endagered as a group (although I somehow suspect that many of you will feel validated at the turn-out in the protest). I was about to protest-your-protest. But you're threatening me and your existence as a group endagers my livelihood in this country. You are pointing a gun at my head on May 9th of my senior year of college telling me that I have to get out of this country, you are the reason why I cannot work here, why it is so hard to find a job and eke out a living in the country that was founded on the principles I most agree with.
You got it wrong, man. You're not preserving Western civilization and its valid cultural values, and the beautiful foundation of America. I doubt you'll succeed, honestly, but if you did, this is what you'll save: your pale white skin, your churches, and your bland boring food.
