HANNITY RADIO Pat Buchanan Talks Balkanization Of America: U.S. Is In Decline (audio)
RealClearPolitics ^ | October 17, 2011 | RealClearPolitics

Author and commentator Pat Buchanan appeared on Sean Hannity's nationally syndicated radio program Monday afternoon to promote his new book.

In his book, "Suicide of a Superpower," Buchanan says the politics of race, culture and tribalism will be the largest problem civilization will face.

"Christianity is dying in the West," he declared on the radio. Buchanan says there is a "long plan" by Marxists to rid the nation of Christianity.

Buchanan doesn't think much holds us together as a nation anymore. "[The]disagreements are so profound," he told Hannity.

"Cultural Marxism has succeeded in transvaluing all the values in society," Buchanan said among other views he has of the Left hurting what he believes is traditional American culture. "The America that is coming is going to be unrecognizable to our generation. "

I can’t disagree with that. Good to see Buchanan is learning things over the years, as we all are.

Can a Red State Blue State Civil War be far off? I am being to think not.

Buchanan has a knack for driving the crazies into slobbering fits with simple statements of fact.

I know you have two general groups that oppose each other. They are so opposite, they are 180 degrees out of phase. One favors America as it was and should be where it is up to each of us to make it on our talents and skills where the sky is the limit. The other wants a womb to the tomb government that redistributes wealth and becomes a nanny state. There is really no middle ground for reconcilliation so there could be a point to where both sides will have at it.

Possible CWII ping.

Sadly, Pat is right.

And, despite what they claim, guys like Hannity, Boortz and Limbaugh will NOT “outrun” what’s coming. In fact, they’ll be some of the first folks to fall under the sword.

And I’m not disparaging their efforts to turn things around. It’s just that their attempts have missed the mark by avoiding substantive discussions of the very real fixes for the problems the Founders left is in the Constitution for fear it would cost them listeners.

I personally think that is the only thing that will save at least a portion (maybe up to 1/2) of our United States, will be a Civil War II or secession, to divide the country into Red & Blue states. Believe me, the socialist commie pig Blue states absolutely do NOT want this to happen, because they know that socialism is unable to survive on its own.

Conservatives just need to stay locked & loaded. I think(?) that most of the military would side with us, but in the case of police forces, many of whom are public unionized and especially the police in larger cities, I think they would probably side with the dimTurd socialist lefties.

I'm following the dots & it sure looks likely at some time - not quit yet - as the 2 sides are so opposite & entrenched.

I think Rush will be zooming out on EIB-One to Parts Unknown if it happened and Boortz will follow in his Cessna 172 clone. Hannity, dunno.

Yeah, it is a touchy subject to talk about and there is still a stigma where if you bring it up, you're seen as a kook and they fear that. Still, to use an H. Ross Perot example, "it is like the crazy aunt in the attic," you cannot keep hiding her and not dealing with it. I think we do need to discuss it in order to hopefully avoid this or at least to prepare people for it.

I’ve had this discussion with a few close friends of mine, and for the most part we agree with your assessment of the military and the police. The only thing I would add, after 23 years in law enforcement, is most cops, in my opinion, will do whatever they are told, until their own families are in danger. At that point most of them will abandon their uniforms and do whatever is best for themselves. I could see many in the military doing the same, considering we are talking about a shooting war on American soil, where nobody is going to be safe.

When the divergence of ideology has become so great now between conservatives and the Left that it has produced a mutual hatred more intense than would be expected from a serious foreign existential threat, we know that we have arrived a point of inevitable decline. I have no doubt that your average Leftist would rather have seen Bush asassinated than Bin Laden killed. Right now, most conservatives would not prefer obama’s death to Bin Laden, but that could change as the Left becomes increasingly and openly hostile to conservatives. The only thing holding conservatives back, for the time being, is their adherence to traditional moral principles.

But how much of the population fits into these two groups?

How much of the population is willing to go to war over political differences?

I get the feeling most people do fall somewhere in the middle. Some strongly support one side or the other, but they aren't at the extremes.

...The U.S. is moving toward a system in which the government presides over a number of different social groups, some of which have their own language and type of education. This approach undermines social unity and allows construction of a multicultural society, which is the very opposite of America’s previous practice. The government aims to supervise these different groups and keep the peace by redistributing income from one to another.

Thus the utopia of multiculturalism involves a bureaucratic class presiding over a nation divided into a variety of ethnic nationalities. That, of course, looks awfully like the old Soviet Union. Such a system cannot work, and its failure is likely to inflict great damage on the people, their traditions, and their liberties.

— Lady Margaret Thatcher, former British prime minister, 1999

He's right. We are no longer one nation, under God.

The first thing we need to do is have a moratorium on immigration. We are importing poverty and Balkanizing this country.

The U.S. adds one international migrant (net) every 36 seconds. Immigrants account for one in 8 U.S. residents, the highest level in more than 80 years. In 1970 it was one in 21; in 1980 it was one in 16; and in 1990 it was one in 13. In a decade, it will be one in 7, the highest level in our history. And by 2050, one in 5 residents of the U.S. will be foreign-born. Currently, 1.6 million legal and illegal immigrants settle in the country each year; 350,000 immigrants leave each year, resulting in net immigration of 1.25 million.

Since 1970, the U.S. population has increased from 203 million to 310 million, i.e., over 100 million. In the next 40 years, the population will increase by 130 million. Three-quarters of the increase in our population since 1970 and the projected increase will be the result of immigration. The U.S., the world’s third most populous nation, has the highest annual rate of population growth of any major developed country in the world, i.e., 0.963% (2011 estimate), principally due to immigration.
