BUCHANAN DECLARES: DEATH OF THE WEST

The New Year is just minutes old and now comes Pat Buchanan to warn: The Death of the West!

In his ultracontroversial book, which will be banned, blocked and burned in many quarters, brave Buchanan contends that the U.S. will be a Third World nation by the year 2050.

The BestSellingAuthorTVHostPresidentialCandidateColumnist predicts Europe will be inundated by an Islamic-Arab-African invasion and most First World nations, including Japan, will have begun slowly to vanish from the earth.

Buchanan is primed and ready for a media blitz behind DEATH OF THE WEST [ranked #492 on AMAZON's hourly sales chart Wednesday morning], set for release from DUNNE.

Buchanan will light the bonfire on NBC's TODAY show this Friday, according to a network source.

But the DRUDGE REPORT can once again bring you the first sneak.

Relying upon the most recent UN population studies, Buchanan declares:

• By 2050, only 10% of the world’s people will be of European descent. One third of Europe’s people will be over 60, and one-in-ten over 80. Involuntary euthanasia has already come to Europe.

• Between now and 2050, Asia, Africa, and Latin America will grow by three to four billion people -- 30 to 40 new Mexicos! -- as Europe will lose the equivalent of the entire population of Germany, Poland, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Finland.

• By 2050, 23 million Germans will have disappeared along with 16 million Italians and 30 million Russians.

• Russia will lose Siberia and the far east to China and be pushed out of the Caucuses and Central Asia, where Islamic populations are exploding while Russia’s is dying.

• Either Europe must effect a radical cutback in pensions and health care for seniors, or Europe must import scores of millions of Arabs and Africans to care for the elderly and pay the taxes to sustain their welfare states.

• The 4.2 million Palestinians in Israel and on the West Bank and Gaza will explode to 9 million by 2025, and 15 million by 2050, when Palestinians will outnumber Israel’s Jewish population two-to-one.

• America’s “Dual Containment” policy in the Persian Gulf seems unsustainable. In less than 25 years, Iraq will have 42 million people and Iran 94 million people, more than any European nation except Russia.

• The Islamic invasions of Spain and France in the eighth century, and of the Balkans and Central Europe from the 14th to the 17th centuries, will be reenacted in the lifetime of most of those now living. Islam has already surpassed Catholicism as the largest religion on earth.

• It is the Christian nations -- Catholic, Protestant, and Orthodox -- that have begun to die. In a chapter titled, “Where Have All the Children Gone?” Buchanan explains why, and why it is unlikely the West can solve the demographic crisis before it leads to The Death of the West.

In his chapter La Reconquista, Buchanan contends that an invasion of the United States is taking place and that America now harbors a “nation within a nation.”

• There are 30 million foreign born in the U.S. today, and between 9 and 11 million illegal aliens, or as many undocumented aliens in the U.S. as there are people in Rhode Island, Massachusetts and Connecticut.

• Mexico is exporting its poor and unemployed for U.S. taxpayers to employ and educate. Radical and militant Hispanics and Mexican leaders alike believe this will lead to the cultural and demographic recapture of the Southwest from America, reversing the results of The Mexican War.

• By supporting open borders, the GOP is committing suicide. First-time Hispanic voters chose Clinton 15-1 over Dole. Of the seven major immigration states -- Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, Illinois, California, Texas and Florida -- Mr. Bush lost five, and perhaps six. Of the 10 states with the smallest share of immigrants, Bush won all 10.

• European-Americans are a minority in America’s most populous state, California, and by 2004, will be a minority in Texas.

• The political agenda of California Hispanics includes race welfare for illegal aliens, racial preferences, bilingual education, open borders, dual citizenship, Cinqo de Mayo as a California holiday, and, in one case, replacing a statue of an American hero of the Mexican War with the Aztec god Quetzacoatl.

• White Americans are fleeing California at the rate of 100,000 a year.

• MeCHA, the student organization that claims chapters on hundreds of campuses has a program that reads like a Mexican version of the agenda of the white-supremacist Aryan Nation.

• In 2001, an Office for Mexicans Abroad in Mexico was providing survival kits with everything from dried meat to anti-diarrhea pills to condoms to Mexicans setting off to break in to the United States .

• As of 2000, there were 8.4 million foreign born in California, as many foreign born as there are people in New Jersey, a primary cause of the state energy and schools crisis.

• Among Third World immigrants, poverty rates and incarceration rates are double and triple what they are among native-born Americans.

Shooting up the flares and waving the flag, Buchanan argues that the 1960s “counter-culture” has become America’s dominant culture, and the iconoclasts of that counter-culture are systematically demolishing America’s history and heritage.

• Under Political Correctness, America’s greatest heroes -- soldiers, explorers and statesmen from Columbus to George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson, Robert E. Lee, Stonewall Jackson -- are under savage attack as genocidal racists and exploiters of indigenous peoples.

• The history books of American public schools are being rewritten with the old heroes ignored or trashed and Western civilization disparaged and demeaned.

• When Mel Gibson’s film, “The Patriot,” came out in 2000, it was savagely attacked for presenting black Americans as fighting patriots in the Revolutionary War.

• With the assault on Confederate books, symbols, flags, heroes, and holidays almost complete, the attack is now proceeding against the Puritan fathers, soldiers who fought in The Mexican War, and, in New Jersey, even against the Declaration of Independence itself.

• In some school districts, Mark Twain, Flannery O’Connor, and any realistic portrayal of the America South, including Harper’ Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird, are now forbidden.

• Even the great museums on America’s Mall, to introduce school children to the greatness and glory of America’s past, are being used to indoctrinate children in how wicked and evil our forefathers were.

In his chapter, “The De-Christianization of America,” Buchanan argues that the death of the Christian faith in Western countries is a primary cause of their dying populations. Whenever faith dies, the people die. A new atheistic civilization is arising, he argues, and is using its dominance of the culture and the courts to drive Christianity out of the temples of our civilization.

• Secular Humanism, widely mocked and disparaged, a few decades ago, is now the dominant faith of the nation’s cultural elites. The moral tenets of humanism are replacing those of Christianity in our public life.

• Even Christian churches are rewriting their hymnals to make them acceptable to the dominant culture.

• Anti-Catholic films and filthy and blasphemous anti-Christian art are the deliberate insults of a triumphant pagan and secularist faith.

The book's publication was delayed after September terror.

I called you on your accusations of racism towards Buchanan and you respond with a weird passive aggressive statement about your feelings?

Feelings? Where did I use that word? You asked me a question and I answered it.

[ResistorSister]

I for one support Pat and his efforts

Good for you...great!

I have spent too much of my day on this this subject. Bottom line...Pat Buchanan does not, will not, will never have a large following.

I do have a large following - and they will all want fed in the next few hours, so I am leaving the Pat debate to get back to the real world.

[Petronski]

Defined: anyone who is winning an argument, on the facts, with a liberal.

Well then, your definition of 'liberal' must be anyone with whom a Buchananite loses an argument.

[jeremiah]

They've been saying the same thing for years

That is a common response, it is very hard to prove, and possibly only opinion, albeit old and now called reality.

In the past we were talking about 10s of thousands, we are now talking about 10s of millions, a slight difference, and of course the Europeans had to come by boat, and access was easily controlled.

The socialist state of our country is also a very large difference, at least when the Poles came, they knew they had to work, and weren't lined up waiting for others to pay for the birth of their children etc.

As the Italians came here, they weren't known for printing newspapers or starting organizations advocating the overthrow of the system of govt, and demanding that their children be taught in Italian.

How long until the tradition of working the lower paying jobs, becomes a demand for access to the higher paying jobs, without the work and education it requires.

Soon we will have a new group(the recently legalized illegals) demanding preference and affirmative action, and the Republicans will have to pour the gravy, or be buried electorally. Of course politicians being what they are (lower life forms than lawyers) they will give what is asked, taking from the producers at even greater rates, and calling it progress, or better yet compassionate conservatism.

[11th Earl of Mar]

I don't feel the need to defend myself against someone who states he hasn't read a book (your post #241), but still feels qualified to critique it.

There is no need to defend yourself from me. I simply asked you to support your claim with a fact. [So far, you offer no facts, only bluster and rants. What's next? Pounding your shoe on the table?]

Secondly, if you read my posts you would see that I criticize Buchanan, not his book.

Also, where was it written that we could only post on this thread IF we had read the book? If we deleted all post from freepers who had NOT read Buchanan's book, this thread would be about four posts long.

[11th Earl of Mar]

I am leaving the Pat debate to get back to the real world.

hehe... I know a number of former Buchanan supporters who have made that same decision.

[BillyBoy]

>> Racist: discriminatory especially on the basis of race ...[Making distinctions.]
Every one of these statements are based on racial distinctions and racial issues.

* By 2050, only 10% of the world’s people will be of European descent
* ...23 million Germans will have disappeared along with 16 million Italians and 30 million Russians
* Europe must import scores of millions of Arabs and Africans to care for the elderly and pay the taxes...
* There are 30 million foreign born in the U.S. today...
* European-Americans are a minority in America’s most populous state...
* White Americans are fleeing California...
* ...assault on Confederate books, symbols, flags, heroes, and holidays almost complete...
* Mark Twain, Flannery O’Connor, and any realistic portrayal of the America South, including Harper’ Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird, are now forbidden

I am not saying that Buchanan is lying or wrong with his facts and stats...I am only saying that he sounds racists in his delivery because he highlights racial distinctions and racial issues, which in turn is going to cause the majority of Americans to reject his warnings. <<

You have a point that all his statements are race baiting, except for the one I put in bold. What Pat "save the white man" Buchanan fails to realize is that many BLACK americans are against illegal immigration even more so than white Americans. I can't tell you how many blacks I've seen complain about illegal immigrats gettting special "benefits" that working-class black CITIZENS do not, REGUARDLESS of whether those illegals are Hispanic, Arab, Asian, or white.

Even LIBERAL blacks are against illegal immigration. Ultra-liberal Chicago Alderman Dorthy Tillman is known to snap at La Raza members: "This is America and we speak ENGLISH. My ancestors learned it and if you don't want to, then you should leave".

It should also be noted that many Hispanic Americans oppose amnesty because those who worked hard to get citizenship see it as a slap in the face from their government. Many Hispanics from Latin America see the "amensty" plan as biased in favor of only Mexican hispanics, and they are correct in that reguard.

Opposing massive ILLEGAL immigration from ALL nations (which will bring the country's population to a overflow of 1 billion in 100 years), is not a driving force for "European Americans" but for ALL Americans who personally, or through ancestry, have family who worked hard to assimulate, earn their way, and adapt to our culture. Pat should indeed present the facts this way, but he's caught up on his OWN background, thereby tainting everything with a "confederate Irish-American devote Christian" obsession. As result, no one will listen to him. Also note the hypocracy with the "they are tearing down our traditional American icons like Andrew Jackson". Many of Pat's neo-confederate buddies do the same thing (ask them about the nullication crisis), but ol' Pat not only turns a blind eye when THEY do it, he encourages it.

>> He is intelligent enough to drop all of the white man stuff and plead with ALL AMERICANS to demand a change in the immigration laws and enforcement because it is good for ALL of us. <<

And if only he had, he wouldn't have margilized himself into a joke in 2000. It's a tragedy, really. Pat has the right idea many times, but he's dead wrong when it comes up with ways to carry it out.

FYI- ONE copy was pulled for having more racist comments than non-racist comments.
The next copy up was left. Then the next four copies were pulled for being duplicates.

I guess no one stops to ask themselves why the thread that is up
is up if we wanted to keep it from being discussed.

[lawdog]

Oh yes LBJ , the "Great Society", the "War on Poverty", the further expansion of BIG government..how the ruin of today is built on the "sucess of that era ". But these things I'm sure are not mentioned except in the most glowing terms in the history school books of today!

" My fellow Americans I come here tonight with a heavy heart... for I and your congress have spent trillions on the war on poverty and some of you are not yet poor!"

[Ridin' Shotgun]

Soon we will have a new group(the recently legalized illegals) demanding preference and affirmative action,

In many ways this is past tense ... considering that its already difficult to impossible to secure employment in many of the service fields unless you are bi-lingual.

[ResistorSister]

Even in science, proof is empirical

OK...empirical laws suggest that Pat is right...the West is going to die, just like every other great civilzation.

[Age of Reason]

- he condemns the immigrants for not sharing Western culture (even though most of them are Christian and even more devout Christians than many native-born people) but then turns around and declares that the West is losing its faith.

If people looked around in any Catholic Church during Mass- many of you would note the significant number of non-white, mainly immigrant faces. Around here I note the increasing number of Korean-Baptist or Chinese-Baptist or Vietnamese-Baptist churches in this area.

Fine.

Now why aren't Protestant immigrants allowed to come here, hmmm?

[PuNcH]

I am not saying that Buchanan is lying or wrong with his facts and stats...I am only saying that he sounds racists in his delivery because he highlights racial distinctions and racial issues, which in turn is going to cause the majority of Americans to reject his warnings.

So talking about those facts is racist. In other words europeans cant be concerned with their own self-preservation.

The majority of Americans rejected warnings about terrorists freely gaining access to the country too. As the problems get worse maybe more people will prefer facts to feelings and soundings.

[garbanzo]

Last time I checked Baptists were Protestants.

[PuNcH]

I believe you were already convinced that Pat was right. I don't believe that my post helped you at all

Heh. That wasnt directed at me but how would your posts help anyone? You say you agree with the facts presented by Buchanan but you dont like that he brought it up. So how should the problems be presented?

[BillyBoy]

>> The Immigration Reform Act of the mid 1960's often makes me suspect that immigration policy was changed by 1960's democrats to puposely prevent Protestant immigration to America, thereby diluting the cultural and political influence of the Christian Right. <<

You seem to be unaware:

A. The Roman Catholic church's members outnumbered members of any other Christian church BEFORE the 1960s (think back to Irish and Italian immigration of the 1800s, not to mention the people who founded Maryland in the 1600s)

B. Pat Buchanan, Alan Keyes, Gene Taylor, and many of the most vocal "Christian Right" are NOT Protestant.

[Cacique]

Buchanan is an anti-semite and has gone on racist rants quite a few times in his career.

That being said however, his demographic trends are factual and those of us who are political ascientists have known them for a long time. No one would have deared to write such a book because they would not have sold one copy and their academic careers would have been destroyed.

Secondly the Marxists in my department and throughout academia see this as the vision of the world to come and have actively participated in making sure that it came to pass.

You may not like the messenger, but what he says is true. Unfortunately it is Buchanan who wrote this book and nobody will pay attention to it. The West is dying and it has been dying for a long time now. It's death began with the birth of Karl Marx and the romantic revolution of the 19th century. The cancer of collectivism and multicuturalism has been spreading ever since. Conformity to the new ethos is demanded by society.

Welcome to the new century.
