America no longer white, united, English-speaking

Must be you are reading a different version than mine.

[William Terrell]

Most latinos are brown. Those that come from Spain and are European are white.

[Keltik]

God Bless Pat Buchanan!

[cynicom]

Those that desire to wave the "racist" flag will read into it what they want to see.

[cyborg]

If he wasn't so alarmed why would he talk about Asians? If he is just worried about illegal immigration from Mexico, then why mention that? I think Pat has a chip on his shoulder. BTW, what culture? The culture of everyone knowing their place? Today is better than yesterday and personally I have no desire to return to the good ole days.

[dljordan]

Why is he a racist? Because he points out problems with unlimited immigration? Because he wants to protect the Republic? Because he doesn't follow the Fuzzy Wuzzy, PC, multi-cult party line? Just curious.

[Arthur McGowan]

The elites want to destroy self-government. They harness the power of the "victim groups" by dangling government money and special rights in front of them.

Government goodies (especially free "education" in government child-warehouses) and all group rights need to be abolished. A free market encourages integration, learning the language, assimilating to the dominant culture.

[cyborg]

Pat Buchanan is a racist. Believe what you want. He's a anti-semitic horse's ass to boot who was against the war in Iraq. Does that satisfy your curiousity?

"He's completely wrong. It doesn't matter if we become factionalized, hyphenated "Americans"."

I am not sure that you are be facitious or not.

So, jsut in case your are not, I think you need to re-read the following paragraph composed by Pat Buchanan.

This is the crux of the matter:

"Much of this mass immigration is illegal. Vast numbers are coming here only to work. They are not assimilating. They do not want to become Americans. They are concentrating in states bordering Mexico, which is their country and a nation with a historic grievance against us. They are holding on to their language and culture, creating a Hispanic nation within our nation."

If the immigrants are legal and wish to assimilate, I would suggest that most current citizens would have not problem with Mexican immigrants.

[Cronos]

By countries of origin, America will be a Third World nation.

What crap is this? Pat's going more and more ga-ga...

[Cronos]

We worshipped the same God,

Which world were YOU living in Pat? in the 60s there was still talk that a Catholic was being elected, and you know, Catholics (like YOU Pat), don't believe in Jesus Christ....

[wardaddy]

Aside from Japan and a few Pacific rim nations, can you think of any other "Non-White" "First World" nations aside from maybe Bermuda or Cayman?

I'm really not here to fight with you at all but there seems a disconnect around here sometimes between reality and paltitudes.

The fact is that aside from the few nations I just mentioned, there are no non-white First World nations at this time and those that once where and where whites have lost power are backsliding. That's the reality.



I think Pat misses the boat here by emphasizing race rather than culture which is the relevant key to me. Productive culture is not always race or ethnicity defined.

Regards.

Pat seems pessimistic that anybody but white Europeans can make good Americans. How shocking. I wonder if he knows that only 20% of third generation Hispanics in the US speak Spanish as their daily language at home. Pat probably doesn't care, even if he knows. They're brown (except of course the ones that are not); end of story.

Pat also bemoans that the Asian population by 2050 will be as large as the black population of today. What do you think of Asians Pat? Worried that your grandkids won't be able to compete with them. Oh, I forgot, you don't have kids. What kind of example is that for preserving the white European face of America, Pat?

I like Pat. He's so good for target practice.

[Cronos]

because we all know that only white people can run a first world country.

Yes, those Japanese and Koreans and Singaporeans are really white folks.....

[cynicom]

Have to love it when people trot out the "racist flag" then tag on the "anti-semetic flag" when they have no way of refuting the facts.

[janetgreen]

Tower of Babel of squabbling minorities that is falling apart

California - invaded by millions of illegal aliens from failed, third world regimes, lured by the guarantee of endless freebies paid for by Americans. California is now bankrupt, but the freebies for illegal aliens continue.

This is one issue that Buchanan has always been right about.

[k2blader]

What does being white or not have to do with it?

That's my main problem with the piece.

[iconoclast]

We have groups of hyphenated Americans who prefer not to be plain Americans. They want their own cultures to predominate.

Yes, but the Pat-bashers are blind to history and lack even common sense. You could say "Pat" Boone in their presence and they would go off in the tirade that automatically follows their knee-jerk reaction to the letters P-a-t.

They've been totally conditioned to this response by the same people that hijacked their party.

[Torie]

Maybe we should start of list of white non first world countries. I'll start first. Argentina. Your turn.
