Is America Coming Apart?
WND ^ | Sept. 10, 2009 | Pat Buchanan

Posted on 09/11/2009 1:38:24 PM PDT by RetroSexual

Flying home from London, where the subject of formal debate on the 70th anniversary of World War II had been whether Winston Churchill was a liability or asset to the Free World, one arrives in the middle of a far more acrimonious national debate right here in the United States.

-snip-
We seem not only to disagree with each other more than ever, but to have come almost to detest one another. Politically, culturally, racially, we seem ever ready to go for each others' throats.

Buchanan hits the nail on the head. If we had a decent leader, we'd be striving for unity, not "diversity."

"For what is a nation if not a people of a common ancestry, faith, culture and language, who worship the same God, revere the same heroes, cherish the same history, celebrate the same holidays and share the same music, poetry, art and literature?"

Diversity is the polar opposite of unity.

It is the opposite of patriotism.

It is the opposite of "my country first, right or wrong"

It is the opposite of national pride, for when a student of diversity sees the flag being raised, and while pride wells up in the chest of the rest of us, the diverse person sees a flag of oppression, and a symbol of all the harm that has befallen his little demographic.

I do not think America is "coming apart" per se, but I absolutely think there are enormous pockets of diversity "cancer" that infect areas of this once great nation. If we man up and excise these cancers from the body of America, there will never be a valid, compelling reason to disassemble our country. Sadly, I feel like a voice in the wilderness on this topic. Many people have their heads in the sand and don't want to make the tough choices that are imperative if we are to reclaim our country.

To those who suffer from diversity every day, whose kids come home from school beaten and bruised, whose cars are broken into repeatedly, who experience the overt hatred directed at them solely because of their light skin, no explanation is necessary; they "get it".

Diversity is a cancer upon our culture. If we let it continue, it will be the death of the grand experiment that is America.

What will be the spark the will cause this great nation to explode?

Will “Mack Daddy the Zebra” order the military to open fire on the American citizens in order to protect himself?

Will the military obey this most evil anti-American POS?

TICK, TICK, TICK - Time is running out.

The country is not divided. It is our “elected” officials who have divided loyalty.

Their loyalty is to their personal pocket books, and they are going to be voted out of office.

And those who actively are betraying the country to foreign powers should be tried, conviced and punished......

The only way a “diverse” country can hold together is to mutually accept and hold high a common constitution and a common reverence for liberty and rule of law.

Do those minimal things and the whole thing holds together and thrives.

Crack open the constitution, distort it, ignore it, substitute corruption and political power games for rule of law, and centrifugal force will spin this place apart in a generation. Your kids won’t inherit the country you inherited, and your grandkids will inherit a mess of pottage.

“What will be the spark the will cause this great nation to explode?”

Tough to say, because Obama, the dem leadership and state run media have set off so many sparks.

Is America breaking up or waking up?

I think people are quietly choosing sides...

The line is being drawn in the sand. Now it will be a question if he is removed by legal cause. Which is in play.

He has made some powerful enemies in the short time he has slept in the White House.

We shall see.

Tomorrow will be interesting to watch.

And it is just the beginning. First the blow-back (quick response) then the backlash (slower response but lasts longer).

Then there is the question of accomplices.

Americans permitted liberals to introduce and impose diversity anti-white and anti-American race doctrines with a Marxist twist on the country.

Anyone who complained were shouted down by their politically correct neighbors as “racists”. Americans have been pretty easy to herd over the last thirty years. Now Obama is moving in for the kill.

Buchanan is the epitome of hit or miss. This is one of those occasions where he gets a hit.

I guess it means that Buchanan thinks that the USA is not now, nor has ever been, a nation.
