Pat Buchanan: Even If Trump Wins, The West Is Doomed
The Daily Caller ^ | April 19, 2016

Posted on 04/20/2016 6:22:27 AM PDT by Hojczyk

Buchanan told TheDC, “we don’t have any perfect candidates,” but the other options besides Trump are more frightening.

“Neocons offer nothing more than more wars,” he said, before adding that their support for free trade is “almost a religious belief.”

In 2001, Buchanan released the book “The Death of the West.” He followed this book up with “Suicide of a Superpower: Will America Survive to 2025?” in 2011. When asked if a Trump victory in the United States, and the success of groups such as the National Front in France could offset this demise, Buchanan was not hopeful.

“Do I think those books stand up very well? Yup,” Buchanan told TheDC. “The West is disintegrating. Its faith is dead. When the cult dies, the culture dies and when the culture dies the civilization dies, and when the civilization dies the people die, and that’s what’s happening to western civilization.”

The conservative commentator was especially grim about Europe, Buchanan said, “It’s hard for me to see how the Europeans survive whether they have the will just given the trend-lines in terms of population and in terms of immigrants pouring in.”

He told TheDC, “I’m not a great optimist about the western civilization.”

When “Bomb-thrower” Buchanan kicks the bucket, does DONEald take his place as the replacement resident incendiary has been?

That statement was so stupid. If it had been, “We in the West are at our best when our backs are to the wall”, implying being on one’s feet and fighting back, it would have sounded much better.

That was the same wrong fatal assumption the Japs and Germans made.

>By identifying a “civilization” rather than G-d A-mighty as what he is fighting for, Buchanan shows himself to be an idolator. It's time to end all the tribalism by uniting under the One G-d. But ooooooh no . . . we can't have that!

Tribalism is normal, natural, and healthy. The one time mankind united as one people we built the tower of Babel. God wants us to live as separate peoples.

To Pat and his ilk a "neocon" is simply someone who supports Israel

You mean like the AJC? That kind of neocon?

And this is by design brought to the Western people by their own governments.

No Western government made middle class white people use the Pill and get vasectomies. They chose demographic collapse and now they're finding out what it looks like.

“Idiocracy” was supposed to be a comedy, not a documentary.

““Neocons offer nothing more than more wars”

I think war is in the western world’s future. Reasoning with the forces that are ruining our civilization is futile. Lord knows Obama and other Western leaders have tried.

An American family would have a hard time raising a family on one salary. Many women I know would stay home if they could. The economic decay of the American wage structure has harmed birth rates.

I don’t see that happening. Buchanan can write coherent sentences.

It has done that before. But, when the USGS take the earthquake site off line it does not help. They had head people at the U of Utah tell them that he wasnt going to talk about it.

It will happen. So what are we gonna do about it? NOTHING except get out of the way. What will happen if it comes unzipped like the largest blow ages ago? It will be a global extinction event. At least about 3/4s of the worlds population will die.

Dont worry about it, it wont help. The disaster I pay attention to is the Cascadia fault. That one is not a global extinction event, yet will result in massive destruction.

As to Yellowstone, anyone can go to youtube and find all the panic doomsday people on there. Just put in Yellowstone volcano and you can enjoy all of it.

If you insist and really like to be scared, whatch the movie VOLCANO that was put out a few years ago. Accurate and to the point. That movie is also free to streaming on youtube.

“GloBULLism is destroying the US economy. That will hasten socialism and then from their it’s either fascism or communism. Pick your “ism”.”

It certainly is. Not only is it destroying the economy, but nations as well. On the surface, it’s tempting to buy into the naive “can’t we all just get along” mentality of a world without borders, but like you stated, if or when that global one world order is finally in place, one of those ‘isms’ will end up with some fascist individual or small group deciding what’s “best” for everybody. Me thinks when it gets to that point, that one individual will be THE Antichrist, and by all indications, that point in time is drawing very near.

True. But even if
Westerners bred like rabbits, their governments would just increase the immigration levels from the Third World

Soon there will be no Middle Class—only the poor. Then Religion and family will be popular and with it large familes.
