While I don't particularly care for Patrick Buchanan, and the title of this piece is rather racist in tone, I'd say this is one of those times when he hits one home.

Taliban Pat up to his usual vile tricks.

His demogoguery falls apart under close examnination because most Latinos are white.

"And America's conservative party, the Republican Party"

Where does Pat get the impression that the republican party is conservative???? The elites own and operate both parties.

[garbanzo]

By countries of origin, America will be a Third World nation.

Of course this isn't racist at all because we all know that only white people can run a first world country. And people wonder why Pat isn't taken seriously.

The whole article is racist in fact.

Paraphrased:

Though a majority of Americans wished to preserve the land they grew up in for their children, the super weapons defeated them.

Most Americans wanted immigration cut back and all illegal aliens sent back. Why was the will of the majority, not reflected in law or policy?













America, 1492

Our cities will look like Los Angeles today. Los Angeles and the cities of Texas, Arizona and California will look like Mexico City.

San Antonio has almost always been a Tejano dominated city. (Not quite, at the turn of the 18 to 19th century there were more Gringos, mostly Germanic but also Scots-Irish, than Latinos, but the Hispanic "flavor" was still evident). In any event, even today when the "Mexicans" far outnumber us Gringos, it still doesn't look like Mexico City. While there are lots of new immigrants, legal and (mostly) otherwise, San Antonio is also known as Military City, USA, and sends a higher percentage of its sons and daughters to the military than most any city of comparable size. We've lost quite a few of those in Iraq, I might add. One was a kid who attended high school just a couple of miles from me.

I think Pat just described the rise and fall of the United States of America. He isn't a racist. He just wants immigrants to come here legally and assimilate. The great melting pot is no longer. We have groups of hypenated americans who prefer not to be plain americans. They want their own cultures to predominate. A house divided cannot stand, or United we stand, divided we fall. The USA will crumble from within in another hundred years.

[Arthur McGowan]

The elites want to destroy self-government. They harness the power of the "victim groups" by dangling government money and special rights in front of them.

Government goodies (especially free "education" in government child-warehouses) and all group rights need to be abolished. A free market encourages integration, learning the language, assimilating to the dominant culture.

By countries of origin, America will be a Third World nation.

What crap is this? Pat's going more and more ga-ga...

[Cronos]

We worshipped the same God,

Which world were YOU living in Pat? in the 60s there was still talk that a Catholic was being elected, and you know, Catholics (like YOU Pat), don't believe in Jesus Christ....

[Torie]

Pat seems pessimistic that anybody but white Europeans can make good Americans. How shocking. I wonder if he knows that only 20% of third generation Hispanics in the US speak Spanish as their daily language at home. Pat probably doesn't care, even if he knows. They're brown (except of course the ones that are not); end of story.

Pat also bemoans that the Asian population by 2050 will be as large as the black population of today. What do you think of Asians Pat? Worried that your grandkids won't be able to compete with them. Oh, I forgot, you don't have kids. What kind of example is that for preserving the white European face of America, Pat?

I like Pat. He's so good for target practice.

Tower of Babel of squabbling minorities that is falling apart

California - invaded by millions of illegal aliens from failed, third world regimes, lured by the guarantee of endless freebies paid for by Americans. California is now bankrupt, but the freebies for illegal aliens continue.

This is one issue that Buchanan has always been right about.

[k2blader]

What does being white or not have to do with it?

That's my main problem with the piece.

[Lazamataz]

Pat Buchanan seems to be wistfully sighing throughout this piece, wishing for the Lily-White America, devoid of anu pesky minorities.

I'd say this article is the clearest example of the racism he's often accused of.

[CyberAnt]

Well .. if that's your logic .. then why does the world hate us ..?? Wasn't the libs' logic that it was because we were white and rich. If Pat says we're no longer that type of country - then what is the problem with the rest of the world ..??

Pat's logic escapes me!

[mikegi]

Pat has a point about illegal immigration and assimilation vs. multiculturalism.

People say that what happened in Beirut was a shame because, in the past, it was a shining example of a diverse, multicultural city.
