Solutions to Balkanization
I think the prediction of the coming multicultural, multiethnic, Balkinization of the United States, which Robertson wrote about years ago, and Buchanan is now beginning to write about, has a different solution than either of them suggest.
Robertson said, let them go, let us create or allow devolved ethnostates. No, Buchanan says, we are one nation, make them all assimilate into English speaking Americans.
I say, give the states far more freedom and independence, as the Constitution prefers. Let each state be unique, even ethnically unique, then protect the freedom of the states in the federal nation. Some say this sounds more like an empire, but I see it as the United States affirmed in the Constitution. This requires a Revitalized Conservatism, it need not be radical.
