What we see here is a conspiracy by Peking, Washington and Wall Street against Main Street.
Peter Brimelow spoke to Pat Buchanan’s American Cause on June 20, 2009, on a panel that included Pat Buchanan, Phyllis Schlafly, Ward Connerly, and Lou Barletta, who are mentioned in the speech. The website ThinkProgress.org made fun of a banner with a spelling error printed on it, writing “One salient feature of the event was the banner hanging over the English-only advocates. The word conference was spelled “Conferenece.” View it here. The panelists pressed on with their anti-bilingualism diatribe without noting the irony of the obvious misspelling on the banner… “
Ahem! Can the ThinkProgress.org people be sure the banner wasn’t constructed with immigrant labor? If so, their complaints are automatically racist. And bilingual conferences would provide twice as many opportunities for spelling errors/faltas de ortografia.
Read the speech and ask yourself why the Republican Establishment can’t figure any of this stuff out.By Peter Brimelow
I mean, it’s quite obvious what the solution to our problem is—we have to elect Pat president in the year 2000!
Or, for that matter, in ‘96 or ‘92.
Instead, we got Dubya—George W Bush—who turned out to be the worst president in American history, even worse than Franklin D. Roosevelt. At least Roosevelt was a good party leader—he led the Democrats to a whole series of victories.
But as Pat just said, and as Phyllis Schlafly said earlier, we’ve been here before.
I’m old enough—though I still think I can read my notes here—I’m old enough to remember being here in the 1970s after the disaster of Watergate, after the fall of Vietnam. I was up in Canada then, and I went down as a Canadian journalist to interview Bill Rusher, then the publisher of National Review. (So you know he was a squish at heart!)
At that time, Rusher was trying to start a new party, a Third Party, because he thought it was impossible for conservatives to get control of the Republican Party after Ford had defeated Reagan in 1976. We exchanged cabalistic signs and established that we were on the same side of the debate. And he said to me, in confidence, “You know the problem we’ve got here is insoluble, we’ve left it too late, and the Red Flag will one day wave over the world—the Soviet Union will one day conquer the world.”
