Yes, but by then Rome had moved to a better neighborhood.
For what it's worth, "I am become death, the destroyer of worlds," is from the Bagavad Gita and was spoken by J. Robert Oppenheimer.
Excellent article. I think we need to send a few copies to Chirac.
But, the question is, is the fall of France the same as the fall of the West, as Buchanan seems to imply? That depends on what is done, or not done, in the capitol of the West in the next few years. Europe, except for the former Soviet slave states, is sitting on a park bench, talking about the events of its youth.Ouch!
The only energy for freedom left on the planet is right here, in the U.S.A.<sigh> Yep, and there's no rest for the weary...
ROTFLMAO!!!
Is this writer lazy or what? It was Oppenheimer, and he was quoting the Baghavad Gita.
Yes, and in the American Heartland--Bush Country--the last great bastion of Western Civilization on earth--but enough! It's still ascendant.
The Leftist enclaves of America are as decadent as fourth century (A.D.) Rome and are detested, as such, by the energetic, freedom loving, and liberal Americans of the Heartland.
Today my wife and I browsed through an antique store filled with exquisite French pieces, including may religious statues and other works of art.
"Next week," the dealer said, "I'm getting in an enormous shipment of priceless antiques from France."
"You mean, the French garage sale has begun?" I asked.
"Yes!" she said.
"I hope they get as much of it over here as they can before the Muslims blow it all up," I replied.
The American Heartland will be still ascendant, still liberal, still powerful, still optimistic, still alive, and still demanding and defending liberty long after darkness has descended upon the decadent and uncivilized hellholes of the world!
This is where the American Dream will live on! And those who live in centuries to come will bless us for preserving our heritage.
Can Chirac read?
Buchanan is right. But then Larry Leonard is taking only a short term view of the situation. Buchanan is talking about the next 50 years or so, and about Hispanic immigration from the south without integration into US Society.

Larry is right for the wrong reasons? Reasons are important
if we are to secure our borders North and South, and ask all immigrants to integrate by learning to speak English, for example. Cultural diversity as a political philosophy just bit the bullet this last week in France. We know where it leads.
fer shure!
And to women. Millions, billions of women and in fact is a huge industry. How much of the GNP of Frahns is fashion related?
What does it mean?
I figured it means "tongue that licks stamps."
"I figured it means "tongue that licks stamps."
Or some kinda fancy-pants french noodle or sumpin' lol.
Originally, a language for Mediterranean traders -- a mix of various European (Frankish), Arabic and other languages. Now, it's any language that people speaking various different languages can use for communication. In most of the world today, that would be English. Esperanto was an attempt to create a universal lingua franca, which would have no political baggage. Pidgin is another example. When I think about it -- the way things are going in Eurabia, lingua franca might make a comeback.
Can't argue with George W. Bush.
Thanks. And I thought I knew everything. ~S
Oppie.
