New president, new world
Worldnet Daily ^ | January 19th, 2017 | Patrick J. Buchanan

Posted on 01/19/2017 7:49:14 PM PST by Mariner

“Don’t make any sudden moves” is the advice offered to the new president by Richard Haass of the Council on Foreign Relations, which has not traditionally been known as a beer hall of populist beliefs.

Haass meant the president should bring his National Security Council together to anticipate the consequences before tearing up the Iran nuclear deal, moving the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem or shooting down a missile being tested by Kim Jong-Un.

In arguing against rash action, Haass is correct.

Where the CFR and the establishment are wrong, and Donald Trump is right, however, is in recognizing the new world we have entered.

The old order is passing away. Treaties and alliances dating from the Cold War are ceasing to be relevant and cannot long be sustained.

Economic patriotism and ethnonationalism, personified by Trump, seem everywhere ascendant. Transnationalism is yielding to tribalism.

The greater danger for President Trump is that the movement he led will be abandoned, its hopes dashed, and the agenda that Trump rejected and routed will be reimposed by a Republican Establishment and its collaborators in politics and the press.

Again, it was Trump who read the nation right, which is why he is taking the oath today.

I think I’d rather have a national tribalism than a nation divided by dozens of tribes, like the white tribe, the black tribe, the Latino tribe, the homo tribe, the tranny tribe, etc. That’s tribalism too, and it’s the brand that democrats have agitated for.

"...it was Trump who read the nation right, which is why he is taking the oath today."

Pat Buchanan speaks the truth.

Only Trump was smart enough to listen to the people, and simply stand with them. Everyone else in the race was mouthing the worn out political bromides of the party, the establishment think tanks, and the donor class.

Trump caught fire with the only group who mattered --- the people.

What we as a national tribe must do is incorporate as many as we can into the national tribe. As for those who wish to remain in these smaller tribes, we must manipulate them into being enemies with one another.

Yep, thanks to Mr. Trump giving the orders now, America will be great again! Nobody has a choice otherwise since they have to do whatever he says.

Yeah, he has other posts where he wants to force our enemies into respecting Trump. That’s not a FReeper characteristic. We know Trump earns respect, and if instead someone disrespects Trump, Trump won’t force the person into respecting him. Instead, Trump will counterpunch.

The levigroveller has no idea how Trump operates.

What are you talking about? You have me pegged wrong but I guess if there’s consensus that I need to leave I will. You guys aren’t much for free speech then I guess.

Trump 2020!

Oh really? Then what did you mean by this?:

"Nobody has a choice otherwise since they have to do whatever he says."

It means Trump is the new sheriff in town! Like it or not. He is in charge, and Washington has to do what he says.

I attended two Trump rallies by the way. I am so excited for tomorrow!

Sorry you guys don’t like what I have to say. I guess I am just excited.

Their ENTIRE agenda is off the table.

Welcome to DRILLING/FRACKING/SHALE!
Welcome to STACKED RIGHT SUPREME COURT!
Welcome to an American embassy to Israel in Jerusalem.
Welcome to strong foreign policy.
Bye bye Obamacare.

They just got SUNK and there is no getting their ship salvaged. Dead, gone, bye bye.

Nothing wrong with that, but the way you originally worded your comment, it came off like anti-Trump snark to a lot of us.

Settle in and accustom yourself to the general standard of conversation around here, and you'll do just fine. Free Republic is Trump Central.
