Such melodrama! DEATH of Europe!
What logic is there in calling the ebb and flow of cultures 'death' of anything?
Change is a constant through history.

However what is undeniable: The mass migration, especially of Muslims, into the heart of Europe has severely destabilized it.

Despite my lack of sympathy with cultural/racial chauvinism, I do agree that when things can be managed with sensitivity to the liklihood and dangers of a big backlash, that's a good idea.

Hillary and John Kerry are now lecturing Europe on the negatives of mass immigration.

Who says that is what they are doing? What's the evidence?

The Quartet, by Joseph J. Ellis. A discussion of the efforts involved in and odds against enacting the US Constitution.
Ellis has quickly become one of my favorite authors. He has a novelist's style and a scholar's approach to history. In the past year, I have read his biographies of Washington and Jefferson, as well as Founding Brothers, and American Dialogue, the Founders and Us. American Dialogue is, I believe, his most recent. He looks as current issues, such as racism, income inequality, and international relations in light of the issues faced and the ideas advanced by the Founding Fathers. He has an especially cogent criticism of the intellectual dishonesty of the originalist theory of law espoused by Scalia and his ilk.

Author Tony Horwitz just passed away here in DC while on book tour - one of my favorite authors. Some of his great works include Blue Latitudes, Confederates in the Attic, Baghdad Without a Map, Midnight Rising. RIP, sir. You gave me many hours of enjoyment.

Confederates in the Attic was a nice read.
