Monday night, January 7, 2002, on the Hannity and Colmes show on Fox News, Pat Buchanan was a featured guest. Sitting in for Alan Colmes, resident leftist, was guest leftist and insignificant member of the U.S. House of Commons from New York’s Sixth Congressional District, Gregory Meeks.
Mr. Buchanan was there to publicize his new book, Death of the West; a more honest book has never been written in this writer’s opinion. Due to the onslaught over the years on Mr. Buchanan’s positions on things American, Congressman Meeks had already drawn his opinion of the new works, and proceeded to criticize the book, implying that Mr. Buchanan was a racist, xenophobe, and opposed to allowing anyone to enter this country from any foreign country. Buchanan insisted on knowing whether Meeks had read his book, and Meeks openly declared that he had not. That did not stop Meeks from openly denouncing what he thought was in the book.
I have never read anything by Pat Buchanan that was not backed up by facts, and this new book is no exception. Pat Buchanan is one of the finest students of history that I have ever had the pleasure of reading, and he has learned that history has a tendency to repeat itself, and that if the lessons of history are not learned, we will have to re-live that history.
Those who, for whatever reason, do not like Pat Buchanan, have probably never read or heard what he has to say. Unfortunately for America, he has been discouraged from seeking public office in the future. I only hope he can find a way to make what he has to say available to more Americans.
By now, many have read reviews of Death of the West, and we even had one in the pages of Sierra Times by Chuck Morse . However, no review of this book can do it justice, and I will not try to do so here. I can only recommend its reading by as many people as possible.
I have heard the word “controversial” bandied about when referencing this book, but the only controversy seems to be in the minds of those who have not yet read it. As I mentioned above, Buchanan’s works are always backed up by facts and he lists all of his sources in the notes in the back of the book. Some may not like what he says, but none can call it false. Facts are facts, and cannot be disputed, and unlike those that would re-write our history, saying it ain’t so doesn’t mean it ain’t so.
I agree with Pat Buchanan, that we are becoming a balkanized country, and are in danger of losing our national identity, and consequently our nation; that our borders are no longer borders and without borders we have no nation; and that the declining birthrate in the western world is not replacing those that are dying off in our culture, and that mass immigration is changing the face of America as immigrants, many illegal, move in to take the place of the vacancies left by that declining birthrate.
I worry that the America I grew up in is fast disappearing, and that my children, grandchildren and great grandchildren will become a minority, Americans, in the country I grew up in.
Whether this is inevitable or not remains to be seen. I get the distinct impression that our leaders in Washington are not in favor of changing the direction that things are taking, and in fact seem to be encouraging it. Mexican Presidente Vicente Fox wants to take back America’s Southwest, including Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California, and it looks like he is making great strides to that end. Unfortunately, President Bush is not opposed to Fox’s intentions, or at least he seems willing to go along to get along at this time.
Americans had better prepare for what is about to happen, and reading Pat Buchanan’s new book might just help to prepare. You may like Pat or you may hate him, but you cannot argue with the facts he presents in his books.
Texas was actually the first state to try and do something with the illegal immigration problem with Plyer in 1982. That unfavorable Supreme Court decision, along with Roe v Wade are probably the two worst decisions ever made with respect to what we are turning into, a third world country.
Judging by the remarks of Scalia and the Court today, I think they realize it.

Are you in the running for some position in the Nazi party? Otherwise, the garbage you constantly post to FR is superficial nonsense. I can also compare Pat's language to statements made by representatives of Israel, or probably dozens of other countries.
So what. Get a life.
I know Pat's reasons for leaving and who could compete with the Bush fortune! Pat makes such sense when he speaks, oh how I wished he was allowed in those debates on national t.v. he would've made mincemeat out of Bush and Gore.
And the sad fact about all of this is I voted for Bush, I don't know what I'll do come 2004!
Please don't call those jackasses leaders, they are for the most part traitors, ready to sell out their constituents to the highest bidder.
You want another opinion? Read the American Spectator issue of 12/01. Great demographics job there, using UN figures--but using them correctly.
The growth in population of the USA rests SOLELY on its importing of people.
The REAL argument is: should we allow lots of immigrants so that the promises of Social Security will actually become reality? Or do we curtail immigration at the risk of bankrupting SS?
With that as a prologue, the somewhat more subtle question is, just what groups SHOULD be allowed to immigrate? Those who share the Judaeo-Christian tradition of the West? Or those who do NOT?
This is not racist--it's philosophical. If you wish to be so sensitive as to consider every thought racist, then join the Arabs who think that looking real hard at them in airports is profiling.
That comes under 'duh,' FYI.
PJB's a very devout Roman Catholic and I SERIOUSLY doubt that his childlessness has anything at all to do with contraception.
Your mother taught you better than that, Sinky...
Double Ditto's, although it will be too late. I intend to buy his book very soon. I haven't yet, only because right now I have enough reading material I haven't yet gotten to due to not enough time.
I never said, implied, or hinted that it did.
But I'm just surprised that Pat and Shelley didn't at least adopt a kid. Hell, with their money they could have gotten a child in two weeks.
Just don't focus exclusively on the foreign-born. In my daily life I too "run into the thousands of people... who cannot communicate with me" --- white, American-born people who cannot speak English and write even worse, who hardly know the history or geography of their own country.
