Pat Buchanan: Even If Trump Wins, The West Is Doomed
The Daily Caller ^ | April 19, 2016

Posted on 04/20/2016 6:22:27 AM PDT by Hojczyk

Buchanan told TheDC, “we don’t have any perfect candidates,” but the other options besides Trump are more frightening.

“Neocons offer nothing more than more wars,” he said, before adding that their support for free trade is “almost a religious belief.”

In 2001, Buchanan released the book “The Death of the West.” He followed this book up with “Suicide of a Superpower: Will America Survive to 2025?” in 2011. When asked if a Trump victory in the United States, and the success of groups such as the National Front in France could offset this demise, Buchanan was not hopeful.

“Do I think those books stand up very well? Yup,” Buchanan told TheDC. “The West is disintegrating. Its faith is dead. When the cult dies, the culture dies and when the culture dies the civilization dies, and when the civilization dies the people die, and that’s what’s happening to western civilization.”

The conservative commentator was especially grim about Europe, Buchanan said, “It’s hard for me to see how the Europeans survive whether they have the will just given the trend-lines in terms of population and in terms of immigrants pouring in.”

He told TheDC, “I’m not a great optimist about the western civilization.”

Cruz has something to say to Pat: The West has always been at her best when she’s lying down with her back on the mat.

If you want to know what the white, Christian world will look like in 100 years, examine South Africa.

Sometimes when you’re lying on the mat you get stomped to death.

At least Trump might pressure then to reverse the immigration.

But we are going to die out from stupidity. No one can figure out to encourage people to have babies?

Well we the people better start peeling ourselves up off the mat. We cannot depend on our gubbamint, they are complicit in the destruction of this nation.

It will be up to America's patriots.

I started reading an article about Yellowstone National Park last night. Seems she’s lighting up and blowing steam, amid some pretty powerful earthquakes all over. Seems it’s much more intense than usual, even old faithful isn’t very faithful these days, If she blows, none of this election stuff will matter and the west will definitely be lost.

To Pat and his ilk a "neocon" is simply someone who supports Israel . . . like he did Rhodesia. He'd have been elated if the United States had sent soldiers into Rhodesia to fight and die for "Western Civilization." But to these people Israel is outside "Western Civilization."

By identifying a "civilization" rather than G-d A-mighty as what he is fighting for, Buchanan shows himself to be an idolator. It's time to end all the tribalism by uniting under the One G-d. But ooooooh no . . . we can't have that!

Yellowstone is always lighting up and blowing steam. Last time I was there, parking was limited to those areas where asphalt wasn’t melting because of hot ground underneath.

It’ll happen, and there’s nothing we can do about it and no way to predict when.

Meanwhile, there are big troubles than we can address . . .

The normal people are not having babies. The beard and burka crowd is popping out babies faster than rabbits, thanks to generous welfare payments paid for by the normal people who have to work to pay the taxes that go to EBT cards for the beard and burka crowd.

And this is by design brought to the Western people by their own governments. Corruption by oligarchs is easier to get away with when a population is fighting each other.

If I wanted to destroy traditional Judeo Christian values, the “beard and burka” crowd is the most effective way to do it

I saw a video about Yellowstone. Old Faithful was going off all the time. Steam was rising all around it. We sure did not see that kind of action when we were there years ago. It looked like it was “raining” from the ground up. Amazing. Then there is that river acting weird.

The Holy Spirit is moving in Asia, Africa and South America.

Christ followers and the subsequent love of liberty that happens when His people stay true to Him will no doubt blossom there!

I still pray for revival in this nation. God is capable of renewing this land.

I wonder if current Yellowstone activity is related to the 1959 earthquake.

Unfortunately you have reverse women’s rights to increase the birthrate. Not a lot of support for that.

Western Europe is committing suicide by Muslim. Our leaders would like to do it here. Its not an option istic outlook overall. America has IMO the best chance to survive because we still have guns.
