Yet, U.S. elites are pushing to bring Ukraine and Georgia into NATO, which would require us to send our 82nd Airborne to defend Tiblisi.

No, Pat. It is the U.S. elites in the bowels of the Pentagon, State Department and Justice Department who leak secrets and undermine this country at every turn, and the U.S. elites in the media and academia who are the villains in this play.

And US isolationism will allow the Chinese to lead the world.

you both are right. But, pushing Ukraine and Georgia into NATO is only a tiny objective of a much bigger picture. Dahoser, you are on target. They are doing this through the CFR and in England, RIIA. The Bankers and industrialist run the government literally, and we are heading for a signficant change of life toward the end of 2007. The elites; do control all that you say......

Why should China abandon a trade policy that has given her 9 percent growth for 20 years for a U.S. policy that has given us the largest trade deficits in history?

That deficit is denominated largely in U.S. dollars, which lose value to inflation. If the Chinese displace us, as Pat contends, their little stockpile will be devalued so quickly it won't be funny at all.

Old Europe is reveling in our misfortunes.

Old Europe is also gasping for life as it's slowly choked to death by invading Muslims.

America may yet be the world's strongest nation, but our dominance is detested, our leadership is no longer wanted and our people are weary of playing Atlas.

Then, dear Mr. Buchanan, please explain why everyone in the world STILL! wants so badly to come here that they will risk life, limb, and everything just to set foot on our shores?

. . .

Mr. Buchanan has been smoking the crack that the MSM has fed him for far too long. Yes, things aren't perfect, but it could be much much worse.

Pat Buchanan, the eternally optomistic isolationist, has written about his most fanciful wet dream. An America which vibrates no longer to lead the world p[olitically, socially and economically. China did not build herself. We helped her. We do not expect thanks, but we do expect reciprocity in trade and a floating of the yuan, which is now artificially pegged at too low a value.

We do not seek to run the world, but when Islamofascist prigs fund raise from our own Islamic citizens , and then use the money to fund a plan which flies 3 planes into US buildings, killing more men women and children than were killed in Pearl Harbor, then we will go after the POSs until every last one of them is pushing up daisies, or whatever infernal flowers grow in the deserts where these rats are to be found. As usual Pat, you are the anti-grist. The person who grinds away at what America is, perhaps that is your only talent, to remind us in direct opposition as to who we are, and who you are not.

Interventionism has failed us. Americans are groping toward a new foreign policy that puts America first and a trade policy that puts Americans first... We don't have to run the world. Divestiture is an option.

How vague. People should know the Devil is in the details. It seems to me any study of history demonstrates that Americans have suffered when they've tried to shut out or ignore the rest of the world. Does Pat think that MADD will protect us against numerous Islamic missiles, the potential of numerous Latin American missiles? Not to mention the danger of biological WMD? In today's world I don't believe a castle wall can be built that is strong to keep those dangers out. Further, it seems to me that a world that is not propped up by the tactical and strategic use of American money will turn to militarism as a way to employ and feed its peoples. And the day always comes when hungry people grow tired of robbing each other and start eyeing that "shining city on the hill".

Unfortunately, when the world has lent you some 40 TRILLION dollars...you're expected to do more than just lay back by the side of the pool, with a margharita and Tivo....an crticize the rest of the world.

Carefully look out your window...do you see that man watching you? He is in contact with the black helicopters and the UFO that is coming to abduct you.

Be afraid...be very afraid!

There should be a special place set aside in Hell for those traitors.

We are living in a dream world.

No, Pat, you're the one in dream state, now roll over and go back to sleep.

Given that Pat can't run a campaign to win one good conservative state, maybe he should give up world or even national topics and try a topic he knows, like sucking money out of fools on TV and the Media.

Interventionism's a**! You want to sit back and let the Nazis have it, Psycho? Oh wait. Pat baby probably does. Oops. I'm sorry. Did I just accuse the great Pat Buchannan of favoring the current re-surgence of Nazis? Perish the thought oh fellow freepers. But ask yourself this. What would be the difference if he was overtly cheering on the Islam-o-nazis? Well, to Pat's great credit he stands forthrightly against the mighty neo-con. Not worried about the opinions of others. No. He cares not that his aversions to policy postions that might benefit both the U.S. and Israel, (i.e. stopping terrorists), is closely matched by those of..... Well you fill in the blank. Pat's motivating principle is not what is good for America. But what is indifferent or worse towards Israel. If it harms America, but leaves Israel in the cold, Pats for it. If it helps America and also helps Israel, Pats steadfastly against it. Don't believe me? Read his lovely magazine. Two words. Justin Raimondo. 'nuff said. There are other authors, but I can't talk about them. I haven't had breakfast yet.

We can hide under the bed and wait for the bombs to drop!

No wonder Pat is the darling of the America hating leftist media.

If there was a defining moment in 2006, it was "macaca" and Mark Foley's instant messages to teenagers. That's all we heard, over and over. The election of 2006 had little to do with Iraq.
