Pat Buchanan is "telling it like it is." Here is my review of his new book.

“Predictably, Buchanan’s small minded critics on the Left - groups like the SPLC, Media Matters, and ‘Color of Change’ - are distorting his work and charging him with heresy against the hoary old pieties of political correctness, as the Tea Party, the flash mobs, and Occupy Wall Street, not to the mention the mobs in Greece and Spain, arrive as omens of the American future.”

Doesn’t Pat Buchanan work for his “small-minded critics on the Left” ? Last time I checked, ol’ Pitchfork Pat was a commentator on PMSNBC.

I think it’s rather curious, don’t you ?

First, America is disintegrating into a balkanized landscape of racial, ethnic, cultural, and religious enclaves - a secession of the heart, as Buchanan describes it - that disagree with each other on the most profound and fundamental questions that unite a people.

So what are the solutions? If the strain of keeping the USA united is unworkable, then let's get the breakup over with, so normal conservatives can group together and govern our own nation-states. Then let's build a real wall to keep the leftists out so they won't dictate their unsound practices on us.

Pat is on MSNBC as the token conservative because the left views him as a racist nut and he is always trashing the GOP.

Nicely done review. Your effort is appreciated. I’ll be picking the book up this week.

That is a very nicely written review. I do wonder if we’re really doomed though. We human beings seem almost hardwired to expect the apocalypse, and when I read something like this I wonder if it’s just the “we’re doomed” instinct talking or if we really are headed for dark times.

Nice review.

To bad he’s not running. I’d support Buchanan over everyone on the current campaign stage.

Rome and Britain were suicides as well.

‘Will America Survive to 2025...’

Probably not.

Nietzsche was right. He saw all this coming over a century ago. Inevitably.

Nice review. I agree with the premise: the Left has taken what was once a genuinely free country and corrupted it with a system of perpetual dependence on the government and decadence. Unless somehow the American people wake up to the failure of socialism and multiculturalism and act quickly, the United States will certainly go the way of Rome.

See James Burnham's "Suicide of the West." (1964) Same ideas, almost exact.
