American patriots have same DNA?

In Mestizo Leaders = "Scrub Stock"? a pundit took Pat Buchanan apart for comparing Latinos to a breed of animals. But a helpful reader brought another of Buchanan's phrases to light:

This IS Your Father's Pat BuchananIt's not the "dip" into an "obscure racist phrase" (in TPM's words) that is so disturbing--it's the use of three phrases and the ideology behind them, tied together in one article, that rise to a level I've never witnessed in recent mainstream political discourse: "blood-and-soil," "scrub stock," and "(m)ost Americans remain visceral patriots. It's in their DNA."

This rises to a level that would likely, ironically, put Buchanan in prison in today's more enlightened Germany, but might have earned him an officer's commission in the SS in 1938, the year he was born.
Comment:  Gee...American DNA. I would've thought the multiracial nature of America was obvious by now, but I guess not. I wonder which Americans the white Christian Buchanan could be referring to.

Let's see...Americans Indians have always been here--since well before the beginning of recorded history, at least. They've always loved their land and their people. They've always defended America with every ounce of their blood. They're extraordinarily patriotic by definition, so it can't be them.

Hmm. The WASPs who opposed, conquered, and killed the American Indian patriots can't also be patriots, can they? No, I don't think so. If they had been, they would've upheld the supremacy of the US Constitution, with its recognition of tribal sovereignty and treaties. Instead of trampling the Constitution and the concomitant Indian rights.

I guess Buchanan is pro-Indian after all. Either that or he's a big fat racist. You make the call.

For more on Buchanan's racist ignorance, see Buchanan:  Helping Indians = "Pigout" and Pat Buchanan on Jamestown.

The Homeland Security 1492 would be a good illustration for this...
