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 GREED ARE TEARING AMERICA APART.

[The book's release date has been moved up to this week. It ranked #237 on AMAZON's hitparade Monday morning.] (http://www.amazon.com/Day-Reckoning-Ideology-Tearing-America/dp/0312376960/ref=pd_bbs_sr_4?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1196040487&sr=8-4)

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.


Usually Pat Buchanan is labeled a xenophobe and shunned by the mainstream. I find it nearly impossible to disagree with any of his points. Not many of them are easy solutions, but probably the correct course of action. What do you guys think?

I know alot of Mexicans afew of which where illegals and this info just isn't correct at all, Buchanan it trying to play biases to the uninformed masses to help increase fear(almost all advertising is fear based if you break it down) and sell his book. Did you know most illegals come here untill they can raise enough money then cross the boarder again and come back in legally?

Its probably just that I live in an Oil and Gas comunity where the economy is great(highest its ever been actually) and there are 5X as many jobs as people, but I really don't have a problem with the mexicans coming here. We kind of need them as people are getting hurt and dieing because they're trying to do do much with too few people and working too many hours, in the oil and gas field a small mistake usually ends tragically and any help at this point is good help.

I don't know, America definatly has some problems right now but I don't see another civil war in the near future nor do I see other countrys coming in and taking over anytime soon. Stuff needs fixed but I think the powers that be will eventually realise that and do something about it.

I don't know, this kind of sounds like a good thing to me. I could be reading it wrong but he seems to be complaining about people being seen as people instead of as Mexicans, Blacks, Poor, Rich, and such.

Some of his points about the economy and such are good valid points. But he also sounds like a rich white racitst guy who likes thinking he's better than everyone else.

I think he's referring to the cultural diversity movement which sees Mexicans as Mexicans, Blacks as Blacks, poor as poor and rich as rich instead of as Americans. As American traditions break down it makes it difficult for people to assimilate into a unifying American culture. In Seattle public school teachers were ordered to teach the "other side" of Thanksgiving from a native American point of view. As this becomes more wide spread kids will begin to become ashamed of Thanksgiving and no longer celebrate it. There's plenty of examples of this happening throughout our society. Maybe this is a good thing, but we're not replacing the old traditions which bind us with anything of substance. It looks like there's a good chance we'll all be going our separate ways at some point.

This comes at a time when the U.S. dollar is weakening and foreign banks, to whom we owe trillions of dollars, are beginning to buy up our, corporations, land, etc. Since there's nothing we can do about it, it'll be "interesting" to see the outcome.

Excellent analysis M.E.

We will fall victim to our own stupidity. There is also way too much pandering on the part of our leaders to really change anything.

I have to apologize for my generation. We started this "Age of Aquarius", everybody's going to learn to live together in complete harmony, crap. George bush fell for it himself when he went into Iraq thinking all the people over there would welcome freedom with open arms after Saddam was brought down. The history of mankind is based on which culture becomes the dominate one. Maybe it's time to give the street culture which produced Michael Vick a try..............

I was actually happy to see the USA go and kick someone's *** for a change. Iraq was breaking the terms of the cease fire from the first gulf war almost since it ended. Anyone of those is more than enough reason to go back to war. "Oh, you shot at our planes Saddam, guess what... BANG"

Since we decided to flex our muscle, the only option really was to get rid of him and try to install a democratic society there. I believe part of the reasoning why people believed it would work was that because the pre Saddam Iraq was fairly democratic, industrious, and had a thriving middle class and economy.

Of course, we HAD to say the nicey-nice thing. If it were president BigEvil I would have just said "Look folks, the guy is a menace, we need to create a new ally in the middle east, and we need a new buddy to sell us oil. We are taking him out."

Democracy would have been nothing more than a cherry on top if it had succeeded there.

I think Im going to have to pick up this book and check it out. I usually hate reading Pat Buchanan's work - not because it's incorrect or anything like that - but because the truth scares the hell out of me. Read "Death of the West". Terrifying stuff.

Unfortunately he is probably more right than wrong. This nation needs a major wake up. If 9-11 didn't do it, I really dont know what will. People here have it too easy. The only way to get folks to rise from their comas is to take away American Idol and their Playstations. Maybe that would **** people off more than waking up on the morning of Sept 11 2001 to 3000 dead American civillians.

IMO we went after the wrong guy. Now we don't have the collective national will to take the nukes away from Iran. We played the invasion card too soon, and we'll remain mired in Iraq for quite sometime while far greater threats continue to grow unchecked. If we leave Iraq the "democracy" will fall quickly. Again, my opinion, and I hope I'm wrong. I do not want to see us fail, but to me it looks similar to the way we handled Vietnam. Our divided nation doesn't help the situation. If we're going to win in Iraq we have to be willing to do the same things (at least figuratively) that Saddam did to stabilize it. We won WWII by bombing the bejesus out of the major cities of our enemy. If this IS WWIII and we're out to win it then we better get going, if not then we need get the heck out of the Middle East and begin to put our resources into securing and defending our boarders, ports, water sources, etc.
