NEW BUCHANAN BOOK DECLARES 'END OF AMERICA'
Sun Nov 25 2007 20:40:15 ET
**Exclusive**
America is coming apart, decomposing, and...the likelihood of her survival as one nation...is improbable -- and impossible if America continues on her current course," declares Pat Buchanan. "For we are on a path to national suicide.
The best-selling author and former presidential candidate is on the eve of launching his new epic book: DAY OR RECKONING: HOW HUBRIS, IDEOLOGY AND GREE ARE TEARING AMERICA APART.
This time, Buchanan goes all the way:
"America is in an existential crisis from which the nation may not survive."
The U.S. Army is breaking and is too small to meet Americas global commitments.
The dollar has sunk to historic lows and is being abandoned by foreign governments.
U.S. manufacturing is being hollowed out.
The greatest invasion in history, from the Third World, is swamping the ethno-cultural core of the country, leading to Balkanization and the loss of the Southwest to Mexico.
The culture is collapsing and the nation is being deconstructed along the lines of race and class.
A fiscal crisis looms as the unfunded mandates of Social Security and Medicare remain unaddressed.
All these crises are hitting America at once -- a perfect storm of crises.
Specifically, Buchanan contends:
Pax Americana, the era of U.S. global dominance, is over. A struggle for global hegemony has begun among the United States, China, a resurgent Russia and radical Islam
Bushs invasion of Iraq was a product of hubris and of ideology, a secular religion of democratism, to which Bush was converted in the days following 9/11
Torn asunder by a culture war, America has now begun to break down along class, ethnic and racial lines.
The greatest threat to U.S. sovereignty and independence is the scheme of a global elite to erase Americas borders and merge the USA, Mexico and Canada into a North American Union.
Free trade is shipping jobs, factories and technology to China and plunging America into permanent dependency and unpayable debt. One of every six U.S. manufacturing jobs vanished under Bush
Sovereign Wealth Funds, controlled by foreign regimes and stuffed with trillions of dollars from U.S. trade deficits, are buying up strategic corporate assets vital to Americas security
As U.S. wages are stagnant, corporate CEOs are raking in rising pay and benefits 400 to 500 times that of their workers
The Third World invasion through Mexico is a graver threat to our survival as one nation than anything happening in Afghanistan or Iraq
* European-Americans, 89% of the nation when JFK took the oath, are now 66% and sinking. Before 2050, America is a Third World nation
By 2060, America will add 167 million people and 105 million immigrants will be here, triple the 37 million today.
Hispanics will be over 100 million in 2050 and concentrated in a Southwest most Mexicans believe belongs to them
Buchanans Recommendations:
A new foreign-defense policy that closes most of the 1000 bases overseas, reviews all alliances, and brings home U.S. troops
A purge of neoconservative ideology and the Cakewalk crowd from national power.
To avert a second Cold War, the United States should get out of Russias space and get out of Russias face, and shut down all U.S. bases on the soil of the former Soviet Union
To reach a cold peace in the culture war, Buchanan urges a return to federalism and the overthrow of our judicial dictatorship by Congressionally mandated restrictions on the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court.
To end the trade deficits and save the dollar, Buchanan urges a Hamiltonian solution: a 20% Border Equity Tax on imports, with the $500 billion raised to be used to end taxation on American producers
To prevent America becoming a tangle of squabbling nationalities Buchanan urges: No amnesty for the 12-20 million illegal aliens; a border fence from San Diego to Brownsville; Congressional declarations that children born to illegal aliens are not citizens and English is the language of the United States; and a timeout on all immigration.

I dont have a hole in the back of my head and I aint hanging from a tree. So, it must be some old dumb-ass jumping the shark. If you can't see what is happening to the country, I wouldn't be surprised if you DO have a hole in your head, or if you are hanging from a tree, and you just haven't had anyone around to tell you.
To: montag813
Yep. They don’t teach real American history or the Constitution in the schools. We don’t know, as a people where we came from and the elites are making sure we don’t know where we are going. I agree that Buchanen is one who has said too often the sky is falling. But just like a blind pig can stumble onto a acorn so he has stumbled onto the truth. I also believe that we will split apart because liberals are so consumed with venom that it will be no longer possible to maintain a poltical unity. If a party continues to believe that it never loses elections but that the vote was rigged, eventually it will separate or commit armed revolution.

At least India only treats 25% of their people like slaves.Their day of reconging may take a bit longer. ...And with The US gladly accepting illegals from all across the earth to pay them SLAVE wages half of what someone here would earn, (have you ever seen those houses where 20 Mexicans rent BEDS in 8 hour shifts?) I guess OUR day of reckoning will come somewhere after India's, right?
BTW, Pat estimates our day will be a little after 2050, probably in line with your estimates for China, and India.
To: End Times Crusader
Immigration is not invasion. ILLEGAL immigration IS invasion.
And if you consider the numbers of Americans losing their lives to illegals every year (a number far greater than the annual loses in Iraq), it is an invasion just like any other in history.
To: Captainpaintball
"But unlike some "of the others" on this board, he is at least prescient enough to see what is going to happen, and is doing something to delay it."You are a breath of fresh air. Pat puts the USA first and that is intolerable to some.

Hang in there. I am really pleased when someone sees the light and comes around to the conservative way of thought. And it does take thought, much more than it takes to be a lib! Welcome!

Anti-anti-Semitism is as stupid as anti-anti-communism.
It is relexive foolishness. Are David Duke and Bin Ladin your friends?
The SPLC is a leftist group, but that doesn't mean that everything they claim is wrong. It just means that you should look for alternative information.
I debated for and voted for Buchanan back in 2000. I know many writers for The American Conservative and respect them. However, Buchanan is unhinged here. He makes unprincipled exception against Israel regarding Isolationism. He is an appeaser, who has fallen into the trap of hating everything that neoconservatives purportedly supports, even if this means allying oneself to the left.

Thank you Porterville...you are my kind of person. I am so sick of these doom and gloom scenarios. It is because doom and gloomers are losers that are only good for mowing lawns and renting so I can pay my mortgage and increase equity. With out doom and gloomers we wouldn't have idiots spending money on stupid books by insane nihilist.

Wishful thinking on Pattie's part. I know it may disappoint pattie, but we are still the only superpower in the world and will be for quite a long time.
Bushs invasion of Iraq was a product of hubris and of ideology, a secular religion of democratism, to which Bush was converted in the days following 9/11
George W. Bush's decision to go to war with Iraq was based on them being a clear and present danger to our country as well as their involvement with the 9/11 terrorists. Of course I wouldn't expect muslim-loving pattie to admit this; after all, he blamed our involvement in the first Gulf war on the "Israeli lobby".
Torn asunder by a culture war, America has now begun to break down along class, ethnic and racial lines.
More nazi/ communist banter from a hater of America.
The greatest threat to U.S. sovereignty and independence is the scheme of a global elite to erase Americas borders and merge the USA, Mexico and Canada into a North American Union.
IT'S A CONSPIRACY!!!!!!!!! More complete nonsense from loonie Pat the Paul supporter. Maybe Pat and Ron can be committed to the same asylum.
Free trade is shipping jobs, factories and technology to China and plunging America into permanent dependency and unpayable debt. One of every six U.S. manufacturing jobs vanished under Bush
Yet I don't see it hurting the economy. America is stronger than ever.
Sovereign Wealth Funds, controlled by foreign regimes and stuffed with trillions of dollars from U.S. trade deficits, are buying up strategic corporate assets vital to Americas security
As U.S. wages are stagnant, corporate CEOs are raking in rising pay and benefits 400 to 500 times that of their workers
Nobody that I know is complaining about financial problems. In fact, they are all doing quite well. What does commie pattie suggest, that we limit the salaries of CEOs and raise the minimum wage yet again? Here's a clue, Pat, America is not a communist country and never will be. Will commie Pat be happy when we are all financially poor?
The Third World invasion through Mexico is a graver threat to our survival as one nation than anything happening in Afghanistan or Iraq
Absolutely reprehensible. Puchanan tries to steer America's anger at his good buddies the islamofascists towards Mexican immigrants most of whom are hardworking, decent people. This is going beyond the typical xenophobic comments into outright treason and scapegoating. Mark my words, once pattie's ilk gets through demonizing Mexicans, Jews will be his next (and I believe his ultimate) target.
Ii>* European-Americans, 89% of the nation when JFK took the oath, are now 66% and sinking. Before 2050, America is a Third World nation
Other than xenophobic racists and antisemites such as yourself, pattie, no one cares what the racial makeup of the country is. It simply doesn't matter. America should welcome all regardless of race, religion, or national origin. We are destined to be a nation of mixed races.
By 2060, America will add 167 million people and 105 million immigrants will be here, triple the 37 million today.
Good. It's the American way.
Hispanics will be over 100 million in 2050 and concentrated in a Southwest most Mexicans believe belongs to them.
More attempts by Adolph Buchanan to demonize Hispanics as anti-American. Hispanics are a vital part to both the country and the Republican party unlike little pattie. Maybe that's why pattie hates them so much: they're welcome in our party and he's not. Conservatives would be wise to denounce pattie and embrace their fellow Americans whether Hispanic or non Hispanic.
Buchanans Recommendations:
A new foreign-defense policy that closes most of the 1000 bases overseas, reviews all alliances, and brings home U.S. troops
In other the wRong Paul foreign policy, i.e. cut-and-run and allow the islamofacists to continue to murder, rape, and pillage throughout the world, not to mention the conquest of Europe by Russian communists. If Pat (or wRong) was ever able to implement such a policy, it really would be the end of America. Nukes would be going off in our major cities weekly.
A purge of neoconservative ideology and the Cakewalk crowd from national power.
And we all know what "neoconservative" is code for, don't we? Come on, pattie, have the guts to come out and say you want to purge Jews from the Republican party and strip them of all their hard earned belongings just like your hero Hitler did. What's next, long rides in packed train cars to the "work" camps?
To avert a second Cold War, the United States should get out of Russias space and get out of Russias face, and shut down all U.S. bases on the soil of the former Soviet Union
Eastern Europe doesn't belong to Russia anymore than Western Europe does. Puchanan wants to literally undo our victories in World War II and the Cold War.
To reach a cold peace in the culture war, Buchanan urges a return to federalism and the overthrow of our judicial dictatorship by Congressionally mandated restrictions on the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court.
Federalism is just a code word for surrendering to the liberals. Pattie wants to surrender American domestic policy to the liberals just like he wants to surrender American foreign policy to the islamofacists and Russian communits.
To end the trade deficits and save the dollar, Buchanan urges a Hamiltonian solution: a 20% Border Equity Tax on imports, with the $500 billion raised to be used to end taxation on American producers
Puchanan's economic policies would devastate our economy.
To prevent America becoming a tangle of squabbling nationalities Buchanan urges: No amnesty for the 12-20 million illegal aliens; a border fence from San Diego to Brownsville; Congressional declarations that children born to illegal aliens are not citizens and English is the language of the United States; and a timeout on all immigration.
There is no way that many people are going to be forcefully deported or pressured to voluntarily leave. Not only would it be further devastation to our economy, it would immoral and un-American to break up millions of families and force them out of their homes. Any attempts to do so would likely result in rebellion and civil war. So not only does pattie want to destroy our economy and let islamofacists attack us unabated, he also wants to plunge our country into civil war (I'm sure pattie is hoping that it will also result in a race war).

Of course not. An end to quotas, etc. and a universal condemnation of race baiters on all sides. Whether by vocal outcry, voting, boycotts, etc. This also includes the news media which fans the flames and presents such issues on a one-sided “victimization” mindset. You know what I’m talking about here, it’s been going on for decades.
I’m just fed up the obsession of race and ethnicity (increasingly) in our culture (politics and media) as it is leading to division. Aren’t you tired of all the whining and excuse making? But as long as people want to sit back and not insist that this stuff stop, it’s only going to get worse.
Hope that clarifies.

Free-trade coyote.
The true racists are the economic liberals, they are the ones who imported the negros for cheap labor. Now they are importing the latinos. Such as End Times Crusader.
To: All
The Democrats (economic liberals) tapped into bigotry to further slavery. The real agenda of the coyotes of today, and the slave traders 150 years ago, wasn't racism or bigotry. They used the engine of bigotry to further the REAL AGENDA:
So if you see an 'economic liberal' using bigotry against someone opposing immigration, or free trade, just remember they are up to the same old tricks their Democrat forefathers used against Republicans.
