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.
So that is what this is? Makes a lot of sense now.
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.
Yea, a real one. You're not paranoid if they really are out to get you.
I like Tancredo’s views on the issues.
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.
I don't endorse Basil, just posting for discussion, really. But I think he's got a stance that can be argued ... certainly doing away with slavery - the founding goal of the Republican Party - was a progressive effort and the Democrats - on that issue - held a more conservative position. Of course, overall, Jackson's Democrats were populists.
