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.
I just read your pitiful thread on Paul Weyrich's letter.
I invite others to go there if they want to see a grown man cry like a baby because 1)nobody cares about his thread and 2) those that do think Weyrich is past his prime.
You can think whatever you want about me.
But I don't have the illusions about my importance that you do.
I asked about adoption and just wondered out loud if Buchanan might have considered that.
Most folks that really want children will figure out a way to get a couple.
So, according to you, your boy got beat in 2000 by a dummy?
Doesn't say much for your boy.
Even the original author gave up on it.
> As a side note from our last thread, my black Christian friends from Africa have explained to me a lot of things about how things are in their home countries. They want to do missionary work among the rural people who are largely illiterate and steeped in superstition. They don't like, for example, female genital mutilation, and want to end these barbaric practices. But the despotic dictators tell them that that would be "forcing their beliefs on others"! I said that sounds just like liberals in America! Also, everything is done through bribery. Of course, these decent, Christian, hard-working people who are fluent in English are not bad enough off to be considered "refugees", so when it comes to immigration, the very people who are most likely to assimilate and add something to our country, are usually last in line for citizenship here, while the very same primitives who they want to teach better ways to are first in line! Ironic, isn't it?
However, I don't think that there is any way to prevent a commingling of the races over the long haul. Racial diversity arose out of geographic isolation. Absent some sort of cataclysm that sends the world back into the stone age, geographic isolation is going to be virtually eliminated. People are people and interracial sex and procreation is inevitable. We're already seeing it today and it's going to increase.
Isolated gene pools among humans will disappear eventually.
