If any freeper says Pat's wrong - that's a freeper who hasn't visited Los Angeles in the last 5 years. LA is Tijuana North. Coming to your city next. But ignore it - and keep on lambasting Pat. Your children and grandchildren will thank you for defending Bush's open borders policy (NOT)
Pat Buchanan is still a nut.
It figures, Neville, that you'd jump on the Pat Buchanan bandwagon. Anything to advance your hate Bush agenda.
"I was supporting the Teddy Kennedy/George Bush open border policy because it was unpatriotic to criticize Bush."
"So Grandpa, I have you to blame for the death of the Republican Party because massive Mexican and Central American immigration gave the Democrats a permanent majoriy, and I have you to blame for Mexican-style Socialism took root in the U.S.?"
"Be quiet, child - or me and some of my freeper friends will call you a Nazi, the way we smeared Buchanan back when he was criticizing Bush""
Already in my city of Aurora, CO. The North Aurora schools are now 60% to 80% Hispanic (figures from greatschools.com). The public schools are bursting at the seams.
MacArthur Park is in the Ramparts Police Division, one of the poorest areas in LA, probably. I was dressed in business casual and obviously lily white, but I got smiles and headnods from the locals - whereas in a poor neighborhood of native-born African Americans I usually get sullen stares and the occasional jibe.
The streets were bustling with thousands of Spanish speakers and crowded with dozens of small businesses.
I noticed a mural painted on the wall of a hot-sheet motel two blocks from the park.
The mural depicted a young man of Mexican heritage in BDUs kissing the girl he had obviously left behind when he went into combat.
The only flag I saw in that picture was the US flag, and the whole scene as depicted was an unironic, completely sentimaental celebration of courage and triumphant return.
I hope my children and grandchildren live in a vital community where people paint murals celebrating the return of our victorious troops rather than live in a depopulated, demoralized, self-hating dead end of a place like some communties I've seen on the Eastern seaboard - communties where patriotism is a dirty word and you're more likely to see two men antiquing together than a man and wife out for an evening walk with their five young children.
Hard to believe but some LA suburbs are even worse with local government controlled by Mexican proxies.
Visit all of the West and Midwest and see what you come up with!
Pat is probably right on this issue, but even a moron can be right from time to time.
LOL.
Truth to Tell, Pat is not a nut, he is simply that voice on the shoulder of the Republican Party, that whispers both nothings and substance into its ear. Nothing much has changed on where he is right or wrong, and of course Time wants to brand all Pubbies as nuts, which is why they ran him.
"The country I grew up in was culturally united, even if it was racially divided. We spoke the same language, had the same faith, laughed at the same comedians. We were one nationality. We're ceasing to be that when you have hundreds of thousands of people who want to retain their own culture, their own language, their own loyalty. What do we have in common that makes us fellow Americans? Is it simply citizenship?"
This is the real question, how can you exist as a nation state if there is no national identity. Times has changed immigrants no longer gets assimilated. I belive that this will lead to increased political corruption and racial politics.

American Airlines does the safety presentation on the planes before takeoff in English and Spanish now.
Blew me away when flying to NYC yesterday.
The balkanization of the US continues.
Try 20 years. However, riddle me this: where is some of the most expensive real estate in the US located?
Ever watch the novellas (Mexican soap operas) on the many SoCal TV stations? They portray a lifestyle enjoyed by upper-crust Mexicans.
The pyramid scheme that exists in Latin America is being recreated here. It ain't so bad when you're on the top.
Could it be maybe that the generous welfare state voted in by white Californians shouldn't have been put in place to begin with?
The "Blood and soil" slogan has already been used. Blut und Boden
No, I think he's right on illegal immigration, and possibly on the culture wars (though I'm not quite as pessimistic as he is). But I'm reminded of blind squirrels and acorns...he's so far out there on so much else. He's a borderline anti-Semite, and he's staking out a space next to Mother Sheehag on the cut-and-run stage.

Yep, he's right on this. And you're right about LA.
Somebody's gotta do it --
So I'll be the one to stick up for Buchanan. The guy just lets fly and speaks his mind, which is a rare thing today.
Do I agree with him? Very rarely. Is he entertaining? Absolutely. And we need more people who follow his lead, if not his thinking.
I may be voting for a Pat type in 08. Actually, I'll almost certainly be voting for a Pat type in 08.
