No one ever accused Patrick J. Buchanan of lacking conviction or of consulting a focus group before saying what he thinks.
by Cal Thomas*
In his new book, “Day of Reckoning,” the former presidential candidate, columnist and TV pundit confronts readers with many irrefutable facts that if left unaddressed, he believes, will lead to America’s destruction.
That may sound extreme, even apocalyptic, until one considers his assertions: “The 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”; and perhaps most controversial of all – “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.”
*Like most politically correct neocons, Mr. Thomas believes that with the right paperwork and a few magic words in front of a judge millions and millions of Mexicans can sustain America for eternity as conceived by our European Founding Fathers. –Frank Roman
There’s plenty more, but to this last point first. No nation can survive without passing its heritage, language and, yes, faith to the next generation. A country must be built on something substantial and if the cultural elitists think it can be built on “diversity,” that is a foundation of shifting sand.
We have moved beyond importing foreigners to mow our yards and build our homes. The political parties are now importing votes, cynically signing up new “Americans” as rapidly as possible before the next election. Let the devil take tomorrow and even the country; help me make it through my election, or re-election.
