Peter Brimelow writes: Merry Christmas from my family to yours! To me, VDARE.com readers are a family—I’ve been emailing with them (always behindhand in my case) since VDARE.com went live on Christmas Eve, 1999. As with my own family, I brood about what the future is

I've always argued that candidates need merely mention the issue of patriotic immigration reform to give the highly emotional Treason Lobby enough rope to hang itself.
