NEW BUCHANAN BOOK DECLARES 'END OF AMERICA'

NEW BUCHANAN BOOK DECLARES 'END OF AMERICA'

Sun Nov 25 2007 20:40:15 ET

**Exclusive**

“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.

You mean when I called Pat insane or a weak-pussy?....

Because it is proven he is both. So, it ain’t name calling.

Any man who declare America’s death is weak pussy and I want to kick him in the ass.

And I bet 99% of FReepers want to do the same.

So, there ain’t no name calling, there is only fact.

You take that to the bank.

There are Americans... and there is everybody else.

And Pat Buccahnan is in the latter.

Now what you disagree with?

...wars of secession and partition are now underway all over the world....we’ve already had three(1776,1835,1861)....I expect the fourth will begin in L.A. in a generation or so.

Except Hispanics (like myself) are die hard Americans... but nice try at the whole “illegal-imigration-insert-here” thingy.

He obviously doesn’t like US support for Israel. He also favors a Palestinian state and he was opposed to any military action against any Arab state.

The way I see it is that he puts America first. And, that means not kissing the ass of a foreign government such as Israel just because everyone is afraid of being called antisemitic if you don't.

I'll tell you why I like him. He's the most politically incorrect (honest) guys out there. He might not always be right. No one is. But, he'll tell you what he truly thinks. That posed a threat to the RINOs and that's why Bush and friends drummed him out of the party.

As I see it, America is replaying the fall of the Roman Empire in fast-forward. Our ship is being scuttled, as he's one of the few willing to say it.

I agree with Buchanan. we have been stretched in every which direction. one step away from a cultural collapse of the greatest nation on earth.

he is not a nazi, he is really stating things as they are. I am not sure this nation will survive any more influx from third world countries and remain successful.

we are NOT an nation of immigrants. I talked to someone at the airport from
Washington. He was telling me that we might as well tear off liberty’s gown and put her in slut clothes with fish nets. we are selling ourselves to whoever will have us. sorry, I see this as a reality.

I agree absolutely with everything you said.

However, I treat it with care, becasue I believe that there are those who sit and watch here, taking note of anyone whom they can attack and attempt to discredit with the anti-Semitism charge, just as they have long attempted with Buchanan.

I expect that they are stressing that so many people are coming back around to Buchanan after long buying the smear that he was Satan.

In my book, if the Southern Policy Law Center lists you as an enemy, I am at least provisionally ready to accept you as a friend.

He’s absolutely right.

Only young fools who don’t remember when the culture had strength and diginity would laugh at this.

America may survive as a name but it will only survive as that baring a cataclysm that reawakens folks.

Democracy is a hard road.....Constituional Republic or otherwise.......in time the formerly strong grow fat and weak and the parasites take over.

Good to see you, wd.

This thread seems to be safe now.

Earlier, a few tried to hurl the dreaded anti-Semitism charge at PB and anyone who agreed with him.

But now, I think they see that that dog won't hunt.

If it comes to that, I'd be in favor of invading Mexico and declaring it a U.S. territory. In fact, we could take everything from Mexico down to Panama.

Would we still have a fence then from San Diego to Brownsvile?

“Only young fools who don’t remember when the culture had strength and diginity “

When babyboomers ruled, did drugs, humped on cityhall’s lawn, and the Eagles were king.

Oh please, the young stupid ones today have more values than the crack heads of your generation.

We’re surrounded by traitors my friend.

right on this forum....and they are plain bigoted towards the very group whom made this country (largely)yet they hide behind their own accusations of prejudice.

I see several folks here that are professed as a minority something....many of whom were staunch open borders idiots ..

now that wideawakes imploded they are back...with the same accusations of bigotry spiel

Yawn. What new from Mr. Sourpuss?

Naomi Wolf just came out with a book with almost the same title and thesis: America is ending.

Birds of a feather.....
