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.
I always liked Pat and he is indeed a very smart guy, but ever since he left the republican party to go join the other clowns in the circus called the reform party, I have questioned his motives and his sanity!
Probably the most intelligent thing he's ever said was, Those were Gore votes. No way all those people voted for me.
Otherwise, he's mostly been a bushel basket trying to put himself on top of other people's lights.
Pat Buchanan has another winner with this book.
On a side note though, I do think, "all those people," did in fact vote for him.
Or more accurately, they voted for the Buchanan ticket, which included his VP running mate Ezola Foster. Foster is a very articulate, highly educated black woman, and since Pat was very ill at the time she campaigned very hard in Florida without Pat by her side. It's very difficult to believe that Ms Foster wouldn't have garnered thousands of votes as the first Black woman running for VP, especially considering she campaigned very hard in many areas that had very high black populations.
An awful lot of the 'facts' that Buchanan cites can be interpreted to be a problem only because we've had such INCOMPETENT political leadership for going on 8 years. Dubya Administration's underlying goal was to LOOT THE TREASURY. Look at the results as of today and show me how I'm wrong.

They say the last gasp of a dying empire is to loot the country, lets hope this is just a profound quote and not something that comes to pass.

Odd, don't you think, that Ms. Foster should have had this somewhat charismatic effect only upon voters who resided in Palm Beach County...

I think she had an effect on areas she campaigned heavily in. Palm Beach was one of the few key areas she concentrated on. But in the interest of fairness it should be noted Pat actually pulled in only 17,412 votes, or .292% of the vote in Florida. Nationwide he pulled in 449,225 votes or 0.40% of the vote. So in Florida as a whole, Pat pulled in less votes on average than he did nationwide.
