“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...
He also gigs on NPR - PBS— gently knocking heads with lieberals. He is a kind of conservative curmudgeon...sickening at times really.
I understood. I just saw you putting a cinderblock beside a soapbox so I appreciately stepped on the cinderblock and mounted the soapbox!
Good on you, friend.
Find a better site. Problem solved.
Good luck.
Oh, so, with your view, we can’t win for losing.
That is a meaningless point of view.
I believe
I thought Pat died and went to hell!
Pat’s an incorrigible optimist.
We’re not headed for disaster, parts of the country are knee-deep in it already, and have been for a while.
It’s going to get a lot worse before it gets better.
....while their working schleps have to suck up the slack.
Hello China? We need some more of that cheap junk we can put the Made In The USA sticker on.
It never takes long for some idiot to refer to Buchanan as a Nazi.
OK, aside Bush and friends name calling smear tactics to get Buchanan out of the Republican Party primary, just what tangible basis do you have for such an accusation?
If anything the world is becoming America...-—where will it end is the question?
Pat needs to get out more and stop being such a sad sack.
Crybaby.... yesterday, I resorted to name calling.. crybaby, today I resorted to name calling... Crybaby.... and tomorrow I will resort to name calling... whiner....
And if I wanted to debate about Pat Bucchanan, I'd shout at a wall wearing a tinfoil hat, standing in a bowl of cold nacho cheese.... it has about as much meaning.
He obviously doesn’t like US support for Israel. He also favors a Palestinian state and he was opposed to any military action against any Arab state.
Yes. Pat just about nails it.
We cannot afford to continue to dissolve our manufacturing base, our knowledge base and our currency.
The “free trade” people are destroying America.
To line their own pockets.
They manipulate their markets and use slave labor to push product. Their day of reckoning will come.
China is not “becoming America”.
China is *replacing* America.
You are ok with that??
If it comes to that, I'd be in favor of invading Mexico and declaring it a U.S. territory. In fact, we could take everything from Mexico down to Panama. Take their land, take their oil, and tax their people. We can take Canada and Cuba too. It won't be a "North American Union", it will be the complete hegemony of the United States over the continent of North America.
We may have to do that in any case, since Russia and China are busy working to expand their territories and influence against our national interests.
are you saying we torture our citizens and rely on a strong slave market?...
A lot of things seem obvious after we have read them or heard them spoken by others.
I’m saying we are exporting everything we know and make, to China.
At the current trends, China will become what we were: the world’s leader.
And we will become what China was:
Poor and backward. At the mercy of others. Who, unlike us ... have none.
I’m OK with China being almost completely financially dependent on the US. Aren’t you?
