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

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.

• 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

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 America’s 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 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

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.

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

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 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

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).

So newbie, what do you recommend we do with the 13 to 30 million people who have entered our country illegally, committed ID theft, failed to pay taxes, etc. Are you one of those who favors granting amnesty, i.e., legalizing their status here? What kind of message does that send to others who want to come here illegally or legally? What does it say about the rule of law? You seem to believe that we can't enforce our laws because the criminals will start a rebellion. Has this country sunk to that level of impotency that we are so intimidated about enforcing our laws that we accept it as a fait accompli? Where does it end? Should we even bother trying to enforce our borders? Are we no longer a sovereign nation?

If you legalize their status, they can then sponsor their family members under chain migration and family reunification, which means tens of millions more will come in legally shortly thereafter. In 1986 when we had a "one-time" amnesty, the USG estimated that one million would apply. The number turned out to be three million.
