"Republican Party Falling Apart"
The Post Chronicle ^ | May 22, 2007 | By Basil Harrington

Posted on 05/22/2007 9:29:44 AM PDT by SittinYonder

"The Republican Party is falling apart," said one insider to me recently. "The GOP has become the party of neoliberal corporate globalism, not the party of conservatism," said another. Perhaps election 2008 will be the last hurrah. Other than Tom Tancredo, Ron Paul and Duncan Hunter, the GOP presidential candidates are a joke. The rest are all neoliberal, interventionist globalists.

Look how we've derailed..."

Iraq is a huge mistake, a neocon experiment in utopianism, and we are paying the price. Bush's foreign policy is not conservative. It is Wilsonian nation building. The transformation of the Middle East to liberal democracy is Jacobin, not conservative. And it is because of the neocon war machine in the Middle East that we are hated.

If we really want to end terrorism in the U.S., then we should completely disengage from the Middle East. We should (1) completely withdraw from the Middle East, (2) end foreign aid to all Middle Eastern countries, (3) deport all Muslims from the West, and (4) end all immigration from the third world.

Many fail to realize it, but terrorism is more an immigration issue than Middle Eastern issue. If Seung-Hui Ch? had not been allowed to immigrate hither, the Virginia Tech massacre would not have happened. Three of the terrorists recently nabbed in New Jersey (plotting to attack Ft. Dix) were illegal immigrants who entered the U.S. from Mexico. And almost all previous terrorists, including those on Sept. 11, were either legal or illegal third-world immigrants.

As Jean Raspail said in Camp of the Saints, "the greatest piece of conservative fiction ever written," there is a third-world invasion of the West taking place. We are under attack. And we can either make a stand against the third-world hordes, or we can watch the West crumble.

We must address the problem now. We need deportations, attrition, employer sanctions, and all immigration (legal and illegal) to end from the third world.

But many seem not to care. Many politicians and corporations are supporting this invasion. Why? Either for cheap votes or to drive down American wages.

Failure to address this invasion not only is a dereliction of duty, but it is a form of treason. And many of the presidential candidates are guilty of treason? Rudolph Giuliani, John McCain, Sam Brownback, Tommy Thompson, Mike Huckabee - and let's not forget Barack Hussein Obama, Hillary Clinton, and John Edwards. Traitors, ever last one of them.

And then there's free trade, which is destroying our economy and undermining our sovereignty. But the neocons / neoliberals have their heads in the sand, wanting to take free trade to its logical conclusion in some perverse suicide pact.

The Democratic Party, which in the 19th century was the conservative party while the GOP was the left-wing party, betrayed the U.S. decades ago. And now the GOP is going the same globalist route? neoliberal wars, mass immigration to drive down American wages, and suicidal free trade pacts.

Do not stand for this nonsense!

If Tom Tancredo, Ron Paul or Duncan Hunter does not get the GOP nomination, then vote third party. Refuse to support the neocon / neoliberal globalist machine. If the GOP continues down this path, it is doomed anyway and, hopefully, out of the ashes a true conservative party will arise, perhaps the Constitution Party or the America First Party.

Or perhaps a new party will form, hopefully one modeling itself after the British National Party, Front National, or Vlaams Belang - all conservative parties in Europe, and conservative in the true sense of the word: the conservation of Western man. Not the phony neocon nonsense we have in the U.S.

As nice as this sounds, the author needs a reality check

I have problems with this "third world" horsesh-t.

1. Latin America is a "child" of the west, as Jeane Kirkpatrick has pointed out, among others. You have countries with a very heavy indigeenous influence (southern Mexico, Bolivia), and those with a heavily African influence (Brazil, Puerto Rico), but the political institutions and social mores are "western." This is NOT the case with the Chinese, Arabs, Pakis, etc.

2. Euro-peons aren't exactly producing children, nor are they showing much initiative in anything other than producing bloated aircraft subsidized by the taxpayer.

3. Better an Indian with a brain and a knowledge of capital formation than a pedantic Frenchman anyday of the week.

Build a fence, AGGRESSIVELY enforce labor laws on businesses, and deport when possible, to say nothing of ending family reunification. No amnesty, no race baiting (on EITHER side of the issue).

Basil Harrington, is in denial if he thinks either Tom Tancredo or Ron Paul even have a chance, flee if you must Basil, maybe you can find someone to attach yourself too ...like Pat Buchanan, or Ross Perot. If you were a liberal you could attach yourself to Dennis Kunicich. Extremes will never make it from either party, you come off looking like Kooks.

So that is what this is? Makes a lot of sense now.

The piece makes some good points, but the isolationist foreign policy is a recipe for disaster. We can’t disengage. It’s too late. We’re stuck to the tar baby. If we leave the Middle East, we leave a vacuum that will be filled by Wahabbist terrorists and Shi’a fanatics.

We’re going to end up having to bludgeon down a significant portion of the Islamic world, I’m afraid, before we can think about reducing our commitments in the Middle East. That, and find ways to wean ourselves from their oil.

With this one sentence, Basil proves himself to be a mo-ron.

Yea, a real one. You're not paranoid if they really are out to get you.

The English language desperately needs a sound effect for eye-rolling.

I might agree with his headline, but not some of his reasons. The idea that we have no place in Iraq and it's utopian for there to be democracy in the Middle East is Bob Novak style isolationism

But I predict (I am well aware my predictions are small potatoes) that the GOP is heading for extinction. The GOP leadership is brain dead, they aren't leading. GWB is trying to protect political capital he doesn't have any more.

Maybe Thompson can bail out the GOP.

You might (and I stress might) come close to ending "terrorism". However, you will ensure a more-"conventional" military attack on the US because the Islamokazis are now aware of our presence, and they'll be left completely unchecked in their quest to acquire the military means to make America part of their worldwide caliphate.

I don't endorse Basil, just posting for discussion, really. But I think he's got a stance that can be argued ... certainly doing away with slavery - the founding goal of the Republican Party - was a progressive effort and the Democrats - on that issue - held a more conservative position. Of course, overall, Jackson's Democrats were populists.
