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.
On Western Civilization:
“We are the last best hope of Western civilization. And so all of the theories that go behind our activities subsequent to these nuclear attacks going off in the United States, they go out the window because when -- when we go under, Western civilization goes under.”

Fred to the rescue!
As nice as this sounds, the author needs a reality check
Smells like conspiracy theory to me......
They’re defenitely in full scale meltdown.
Looks like the makings of a DU/Libertarian thread.
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.
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.
If Tom Tancredo, Ron Paul or Duncan Hunter does not get the GOP nomination, then vote third party.
Already there.
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.
If Seung-Hui Ch? had not been allowed to immigrate hither, the Virginia Tech massacre would not have happened.
In spite of the author’s passion, the piece comes off as an unfocused rant.
Sorry. The facts show otherwise. Protectionism is a far bigger danger. Also, this idea of a third party just plays into the hands of liberals and allows them to take over completely.
What is going on right now with the immigration issue shows that we do have power over elected officials when we get off our duffs and let them know.
What exactly is “conservative” about: high trade barriers, public ownership of businesses, large government budget deficits, or government subsidies for special interests? Those are all things neoliberalism is against — classical liberalism for that matter.
The term “liberal” doesn’t mean the same in the U.S. that it does elsewhere. (Or at least used to mean.) The term was co-opted by socialists in the U.S. Of course, the new American definition of “liberal” is spreading to the rest of the world — so it’s just a matter of time before no one remembers a time when being a “liberal” wasn’t all bad.
BTW, “liberal” and “libertarian” are not synonymous.
I agree precisely. Feed them some of their own Chinese dog food.
And with this line, the credibility of this piece whirlpools down the the bottom of the toilet and is whisked away...
