NEW BUCHANAN BOOK DECLARES 'END OF AMERICA'

“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 America’s 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
• Bush’s 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 America’s 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 America’s 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
Buchanan’s 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 Russia’s space and get out of Russia’s 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.
Developing...
“It was Bill Clinton who said that Iraq would be a cakewalk.”
I never heard that.
It was said by one Ken Adelman, and he was right...he wasn’t talking about administering Iraq but defeating Hussein’s army.
Unlikely prediction is unlikely.
He calls for a purge of them, lol.
Predictable much?
My sister was once eaten by a Grue. Are they similar?
THere’s alot of truth in what he says. Some of it makes me wonder a little though.
I don’t have a hole in the back of my head and I ain’t hanging from a tree.
So, it must be some old dumb-ass jumping the shark.
This man is taking it ~very~ personal, and it's not personal. It's just business. The nation's business.
Does Pat have a show on MSNBC yet??
Wonder if Pat mentioned his Pali-Muzzie friends want to behead us all. That tends to scare me considrably more than any of his book-hawking terrors.
So I guess only an A-hole with a superiority complex... and a master of never achieving victory would use the word.
but then again, I guess he never used it... :)
"World ends tomorrow. Buy my book today."
Pat shows the ghost of America’s future if we continue on the ‘Sun never sets on our trade deficits or on our world police troops’. The fate of England is the ghost of nation’s past. God Bless us, every one.
How could anyone not see this?
I don’t agree with Pat’s attitude on Israel and other Middle East issues, but he’s right that we’re heading for a disaster.
hell, trade deficits? Last I heard, our dollar is causing the world to crave all things American....while their working schleps have to suck up the slack.
The future is perfect.
Well, people who have been advocating destructive policies -- for example, massive immigration to destroy the core of American, European-derived, Christian culture -- those who have been advocating the maximum amount of immigration -- legal or illegal -- for decades....they might not want to ~~admit~~ to seeing it.
“Problem is, the sheeple don’t notice.”
Indeed. Furthermore, FReepers used to enjoy debate, used to enjoy disecting an argument trying to find a logical analytical conclusion. Seems these days that more and more FReepers resort to name calling and dismissive attitudes than actual logic.
It’s sad to see what this board is becoming.
WE, as in the people of the United States of America, are most definitely in trouble, and the majority would rather stick their heads in the sand and shoot the messenger than bow their backbone and stand in the breach.
I know, it was kind of a rhetorical question.
We’re surrounded by traitors my friend.
Yep, they crave our factories and our Treasuries. Also evidence of America's decline. We are using our seed corn.
