NEW BUCHANAN BOOK DECLARES 'END OF AMERICA'

“America is coming apart, decomposing, and...the likelihood of her survival as one nation...is improbable -- and impossible if America continues on her current course," declares Pat Buchanan. "For we are on a path to national suicide.”
The best-selling author and former presidential candidate is on the eve of launching his new epic book: DAY OR RECKONING: HOW HUBRIS, IDEOLOGY AND GREE ARE TEARING AMERICA APART.
This time, Buchanan goes all the way:
"America is in an existential crisis from which the nation may not survive."
The U.S. Army is breaking and is too small to meet America’s global commitments.
The dollar has sunk to historic lows and is being abandoned by foreign governments.
U.S. manufacturing is being hollowed out.
The greatest invasion in history, from the Third World, is swamping the ethno-cultural core of the country, leading to Balkanization and the loss of the Southwest to Mexico.
The culture is collapsing and the nation is being deconstructed along the lines of race and class.
A fiscal crisis looms as the unfunded mandates of Social Security and Medicare remain unaddressed.
All these crises are hitting America at once -- a perfect storm of crises.
Specifically, Buchanan contends:
• Pax Americana, the era of U.S. global dominance, is over. A struggle for global hegemony has begun among the United States, China, a resurgent Russia and radical Islam
• Bush’s invasion of Iraq was a product of hubris and of ideology, a secular religion of “democratism,” to which Bush was converted in the days following 9/11
• Torn asunder by a culture war, America has now begun to break down along class, ethnic and racial lines.
• The greatest threat to U.S. sovereignty and independence is the scheme of a global elite to erase America’s borders and merge the USA, Mexico and Canada into a North American Union.
• Free trade is shipping jobs, factories and technology to China and plunging America into permanent dependency and unpayable debt. One of every six U.S. manufacturing jobs vanished under Bush
• “Sovereign Wealth Funds,” controlled by foreign regimes and stuffed with trillions of dollars from U.S. trade deficits, are buying up strategic corporate assets vital to America’s security
• As U.S. wages are stagnant, corporate CEOs are raking in rising pay and benefits 400 to 500 times that of their workers
• The Third World invasion through Mexico is a graver threat to our survival as one nation than anything happening in Afghanistan or Iraq
* European-Americans, 89% of the nation when JFK took the oath, are now 66% and sinking. Before 2050, America is a Third World nation
• By 2060, America will add 167 million people and 105 million immigrants will be here, triple the 37 million today.
• Hispanics will be over 100 million in 2050 and concentrated in a Southwest most Mexicans believe belongs to them
Buchanan’s Recommendations:
• A new foreign-defense policy that closes most of the 1000 bases overseas, reviews all alliances, and brings home U.S. troops
• A purge of neoconservative ideology and the “Cakewalk” crowd” from national power.
• To avert a second Cold War, the United States should “get out of Russia’s space and get out of Russia’s face,” and shut down all U.S. bases on the soil of the former Soviet Union
• To reach a cold peace in the culture war, Buchanan urges a return to federalism and the overthrow of our judicial dictatorship by Congressionally mandated restrictions on the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court.
• To end the trade deficits and save the dollar, Buchanan urges a Hamiltonian solution: a 20% Border Equity Tax on imports, with the $500 billion raised to be used to end taxation on American producers
• To prevent America becoming “a tangle of squabbling nationalities” Buchanan urges: No amnesty for the 12-20 million illegal aliens; a border fence from San Diego to Brownsville; Congressional declarations that children born to illegal aliens are not citizens and English is the language of the United States; and a “timeout” on all immigration.
Developing...
True...
That's a stupid lie!
My televions was made in Korea.
Quit your exaggerating! ~grin~
Freepers spend most of their time these days trying to be funny and making juvenile comments. There is very little serious thought and honest discourse on this site anymore.
Stop hyperventilating and be happy that you don’t have to spend 100 dollars for an Italian sweater when a Chinese one will do just fine.
Or better yet, knit your own.
I'm really having difficulty with this. You mean there were all African American people at the mall? That is strange. Why would that be the case?
Some people can’t get their head out of the sand no matter what. Jobs are disappearing, wages are shrinking, hope for a better life for the poor is vastly dimished with millions upon millions of illegal invaders flooding the country. Good bye, middle class. Hello, third world nation!
You make HORNET19’s point very well. Just take a look at your post, it adds absolutely nothing of value to the discussion. Why did you bother?
“There is very little serious thought and honest discourse on this site anymore.”
Do you really think that is the case? I suspect there are the same percentage of idiots that there have always been. At I hope so.
Oh, sure.... it is very conservative to be insane?... to be a weak-pussy?
diminishing, rather.
Time for a good long break.
He’s wrong on Hubris and wrong on Iraq... but who in the hell can argue with him on illegal immigration? Who can argue that we are not losing our culture? Who can argue that the soutwest is not being invaded by Mexicans?
Las Vegas? Non English speaking? They were probably Canadians coming down to shop the deals and have fun.
Don’t be so grumpy.
I think added quite a bit of wit and brevity.... brother wise-man.... best find a cave and meditate... you seem to be out of line with your chi.
You got it, Doll...you and Pat.
A good long immigration "timeout."
>I see it’s still fashionable to bash Buchanan on FR. Odd, since he’s more authentic conservative than about 85% of the posters here.<
Here! Here! :)
“Oh, sure.... it is very conservative to be insane?... to be a weak-pussy?”
My 16 year old son is taking debate at school. He told me that when your opponent starts name calling, it’s time to stop debating. You’ve already won.
I make more than I ever had; I own a few properties. I have a couple dogs. My car smells of leather. I ate well today.
What is so bad?
We have become a raw materials supplier for China.
We send them crops. And we send them our jobs.
20 billion dollars every month, is our bilateral trade deficit with China.
Have you looked at the Wall Street Journal recently?
Pick a Fortune 500 company at random. Then look at how much that entire company is worth.
Chances are, that entire Fortune 500 company, is worth less than what we ship to China every month.
This situation is suicidal.
We’re not talking economic theory. This is not some intellectual exercise.
We are squandering our national heritage. All of it. Our knowhow. Our skills. Our financial security. All of it.
We really are.
Roger that. I don't ever remember Buchanan saying he'd use his Sec. State to try to intimidate Israel into giving up Jeruslam, the West Bank and Golan Hights. Can any rational thinking person not understand what the consequences of that would be? Heck, Pat just said quit giving Israel money not make them walk the plank.
