La visio¤  n de una Ame¤  rica deslatinizada por propia voluntad, sin la extorsio¤  n de la conquista, y regenerada luego a imagen y semejanza del arquetipo del Norte, flota ya sobre los suen‹  os de muchos sinceros interesados por nuestro porvenir† Tenemos nuestra nordoman|¤a. Es necesario oponerle los l|¤mites que la razo¤  n y el sentimiento sen‹  alan. The vision of an America de-Latinized of its own will, without threat of conquest, and reconstituted in the image and likeness of the North, now looms in the nightmares of many who are genuinely concerned about our future† We have our USA-mania.
