I have read his article on survival of western civilization. Actually this story might be more on topic than we know

While this guy makes some interesting points, I think he makes some generalizations that I find naive in their pedestrian nature.
A few of points as an example here:
*He lumps all "rap" music into the same category here - savage music that does nothing but promote violence, drug use, and sexual misconduct. While some of what is considered "rap" does this, it is far from all-inclusive. There are plenty of other musical genres that include music along the same vein of content (ever heard of sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll?)
*He also goes on about video games that do nothing but trivialize human life. Perhaps he never played cops & robbers or cowboys & indians as a kid? Perhaps GI-Joe? Last I checked, these same games were about killing your opponent. What he seems to miss here is the ability of normal people to distinguish between reality and fantasy. Yes, there are those who have a problem doing this, but the game is certainly not the cause.
*Last I checked, the Supreme Court has no power to "create new laws", only the power to interpret existing laws and the constitutionality of those laws.
He goes on to talk about how diversity is not a good thing... that diversity in culture only serves to divide a people. While it can do this, I sincerely disagree with the notion that this is all that diversity accomplishes. He seems to highlight the worst historical problems as simply issues of diversity. Adaptation to a society's culture is not a denial of diversity, as his argument seems to suggest. Adaptation is a learning process, a way of understanding your role in a new culture, and adapting what you have to the way an existing culture works. It doesn't mean forsaking the your ancestral traditions from generations past and forgetting about it. American culture reflects these traditions, whether they be from English, German, African, Middle Eastern, Asian, Jewish, Native American, or any of the multitude of other cultures of the peoples that have chosen to find a new life here.
Then again, someone who calls his blog "A Voice of Sanity in an Insane World" seems to already have communicated to me his naiveté.
