Buchanan Comes Close to Jumping Ship

Pat Buchanan's new book is due out Tuesday. I'll probably wait until I'm back in Houghton to buy it. Anyway, as with Where the Right Went Wrong, Drudge has posted exerpts from the book on the ol' Drudge Report. Entitled, State of Emergency, Buchanan explains why complicity towards illegal immigration will bring about the death of the West.

“As Rome passed away, so, the West is passing away, from the same causes and in much the same way. What the Danube and Rhine were to Rome, the Rio Grande and Mediterranean are to America and Europe, the frontiers of a civilization no longer defended.”

So begins a new work of warning from Pat Buchanan.

And this time Buchanan goes all the way.

STATE OF EMERGENCY: THIRD WORLD INVASION AND CONQUEST OF AMERICAstreets this week and it's designed to jolt readers with stats and analysis of illegal immigration gone dangerously wild.

Buchanan warns: “The children born in 2006 will witness in their lifetimes the death of the West."

One in every twelve people breaking into America has a criminal record...

Buchanan slams the president: “Concerned about his legacy, George W. Bush may yet live to see his name entered into the history of his country as the president who lost the American Southwest that James K. Polk won for the United States."

...

The Republican Party, a wholly owned subsidiary of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, is in the grip of a cult called “Economism.” It is all about money now. The GOP worships at the “Church of GDP”

Both parties are paralyzed by guilt over American past racial sins.

And so on and so forth. I have long regarded Mr. Buchanan as something of a prophet. As such, he is not without honor, except in his native land. I fully expect Mr. B to declare that voting is useless, as it assuredly is. He has at long last realized this, and he is one of the few pundits who could do so without risking being cast completely aside.

I'm seriously considering ex-patriating, but I don't know where things would be substantially different. One must not get the feeling that I'm without hope, but I do reserve that for things not of this world. Further, one should count oneself as priveleges to experience the collapse, that is, if Buchanan's prediction holds true.

Amigo, consider that the overwhelming number of these people are bringing a vibrant culture, energy, great values to our moribund society. Plus, many embrace revolutionary ideas! When I lived and worked construction in north Carolina I hung with hispanics who were educated and interesting and funny. Also generous with their lunches.Of course Buchanan is blowing things out of proportion for the book sales.

A Wiser Man Than I said...

Be careful of placing Buchanan in the same boat as say, Coulter. Of course he wants to sell books, but he'll do it the way he always has: presently facts and then providing a solution--which will of course be ignored.

Whether or not we should welcome the illegals--and I say no--it cannot be denied that our culture is dying. Perhaps we rise spectacuraly; perhaps we remain marred in chaos; but either way there will be massive change.
