Falling into a suicidal universalism

...Historically, Christians understood that while they had duties to outsiders, their principal duties were to those closest to them. No sane person would trust a mother who claimed to love all the children in the world as much as she loves her own. Nor should anyone trust a politician who claims to love all the people of the world as much as he loves his own...

Tribal behavior is what makes human beings human. Take it away from “man” or “humankind” and what you get is not “pure man” or “liberated man” but dehumanization and, from that, tyranny.

If Europe and the United States were simply to let in everyone who wanted to come, as the Biden administration is more or less doing along the United States’ open southern border, both places would soon be populated primarily by recent arrivals from Africa, Asia, and Latin America. The United States and Europe would thus be completely unrecognizable to the great geniuses who made Western civilization the envy of the world, as well as the generations of ordinary Europeans and Americans who naturally imbibed what those geniuses created.......

If American politicians still knew that their primary responsibility was the welfare of their fellow Americans, not the global economy.”
