Uhhh, I guess I'm a little dense.
Buchanan and his people are populists - they are social conservatives and international isolationists.
Persoanlly, I like some of Buchanan's stands and disagree with others. I think he's really a closet anti-Semite.
Wjile I don't believe the U.S. should be the world's policeman, I believe we have a responsibility to protect our own best interests. The destruction of militant Islam is in our best interests as they are out to destroy us.
I believe illegal aliens are threatening our borders and destroying our culture, which has long been and still is, primarily Anglo. People who come here should acculturate and accept American values and language and social mores. Its fine if they bring parts of their culture and integrate it into own as long as there is no conflict with our essential values.
Frankfurters, pizza, Chow mein, Christmas Trees, opera, Spanish music, banjos, etc. are all products added to the Anglo culture which have enriched America. Bilingual program and affirmative action programs have not, nor have old-world attitudes towards basic American rights like the Seocnd Amendment improved things here.

I've travelled around, and I've never been isolated because I spoke English. English is the WORLD language. Believe me.
When I see the "We'll all be speaking Spanish" crap around here, I don't laugh anymore. It's so stupid so that it shouldn't be accepted.
One can go to any storefront in Malaysia, Kenya or Moldovia and conduct vital business in English.
That being said: if any of these aggrieved Freepers were smart, they'd be learning Spanish and pursuing economic or cultural opportunities with their new neighbors.
