United States News Title: SUICIDE OF A SUPERPOWER. by Patrick J. Buchanan BOOK WARNS OF END Fri Oct 14 2011 07:00:25 ET **Exclusive** "As the faith that gave birth to the West is dying in the West, peoples of European descent from the steppes of Russia to the coast of California have begun to die out, as the Third World treks north to claim the estate. The last decade provided corroborating if not conclusive proof that we are in the Indian Summer of our civilization." So begins Pat Buchanan in his hardcore work, SUICIDE OF A SUPERPOWER. "Will America Survive to 2025?" Buchanan, set for maximum controversy, launches all rockets at introduction "Disintegrating Nation" -- and does not let up for 400-plus pages. "America is disintegrating. The centrifugal forces pulling us apart are growing inexorably. What unites us is dissolving. And this is true of Western Civilization....Meanwhile, the state is failing in its most fundamental duties. It is no longer able to defend our borders, balance our budgets, or win our wars." The books reads as if its been written to be left behind in the ruins, only to be found by a future civilization. SUICIDE ranked #2,668 on AMAZON's hit parade early Friday. It streets on Tuesday. Now only the DRUDGE REPORT can offer a look inside. Chapter 1: The Passing of a Superpower We have accepted today the existence in perpetuity of a permanent underclass of scores of millions who cannot cope and must be carried by society -- fed, clothed, housed, tutored, medicated at taxpayers expense their entire lives. We have a dependent nation the size of Spain in our independent America. We have a new division in our country, those who pay a double or triple fare, and those who ride forever free. Chapter 2. The End of Christian America If [Christopher] Dawson is correct, the drive to de-Christianize America, to purge Christianity from the public square, public schools and public life, will prove culturally and socially suicidal for the nation. The last consequence of a dying Christianity is a dying people. Not one post-Christian nation has a birth rate sufficient to keep it alive....The death of European Christianity means the disappearance of the European tribe, a prospect visible in the demographic statistics of every Western nation. Chapter 3. The Crisis of Catholicism Half a century on, the disaster is manifest. The robust and confident Church of 1958 no longer exists. Catholic colleges and universities remain Catholic in name only. Parochial schools and high schools are closing as rapidly as they opened in the 1950s. The numbers of nuns, priests and seminarians have fallen dramatically. Mass attendance is a third of what it was. From the former Speaker of the House to the Vice President, Catholic politicians openly support abortion on demand. How can Notre Dame credibly teach that all innocent life is sacred, and then honor a president committed to ensuring that a womans right to end the life of her innocent child remains sacrosanct? Chapter 4. The End of White America [W]hite America is an endangered species. By 2020, whites over 65 will out-number those 17 and under. Deaths will exceed births. The white population will begin to shrink and, should present birth rates persist, slowly disappear. Mexico is moving north. Ethnically, linguistically and culturally, the verdict of 1848 is being over-turned. Will this Mexican nation within a nation advance the goals of the Constitution -- to insure domestic tranquility and make us a more perfect union? Or have we imperiled our union? (Page 134) Chapter 5. Demographic Winter Peoples of European descent are not only in a relative but a real decline. They are aging, dying, disappearing. This is the existential crisis of the West. (Page 166) Not any Iranian weapon of mass destruction but demography is the existential crisis Israel faces....By mid-century...Palestinians west of the Jordan river will out-number Jews 2-1. Add Palestinians in Jordan, it is 3-1. In a startling development of history, Russias population has fallen from 148 million in 1991 to 140 million today and is projected to plunge to 116 million by 2050, a loss of 32 million Russians in six decades. Chapter 6. Equality Vs. Freedom Those who would change society begin by changing the meaning of words. At Howard University, LBJ changed the meaning of equality from the attainable -- an end to segregation and a legislated equality of rights for African-Americans -- to the impossible: a socialist utopia. Where equality is enthroned, freedom is extinguished. The rise of the egalitarian society means the death of the free society. A time for truth. As most kids do not have the athletic ability to play high school sports, or the musical ability to play in the band, or the verbal ability to excel in debate, not every child has the academic ability to do high school work. No two children are created equal, not even identical twins. The family is the incubator of inequality and God its author. Chapter 7. The Diversity Cult The non-Europeanization of America is heartening news of an almost transcendental quality, Wattenberg trilled.4 Yet, one wonders: What kind of man looks with transcendental joy to a day when the people among whom he was raised have become a minority in a nation where the majority rules? Historians will look back in stupor at 20th and 21st century Americans who believed the magnificent republic they inherited would be enriched by bringing in scores of millions from the failed states of the Third World. Chapter 8: The Triumph Of Tribalism Americas war of revenge against Japan was a race war. Newsreels, movies, magazines, comic books, headlines treated Japs as a repulsive race whose extermination would benefit mankind....Only well after the war was over was it re-branded a war to bring the blessings of democracy to...Japan. We may deny the existence of ethnonationalism, detest it, condemn it. But this creator and destroyer of empires and nations is a force infinitely more powerful than globalism, for it engages the heart. Men will die for it. Religion, race, culture and tribe are the four horsemen of the coming apocalypse. Chapter 9. The White Party Through its support of mass immigration, its paralysis in power to prevent 12-20 million illegal aliens from entering and staying, its failure to address the anchor-baby issue, the Republican Party has birthed a new electorate that will send it the way of the Whigs. Chapter 10: The Long Retreat We borrow from Europe to defend Europe. We borrow from the Gulf states to defend the Gulf states. We borrow from Japan to defend Japan. Is it not a symptom of senility to be borrowing from the world so we can defend the world? Are vital U.S. interests more imperiled by what happens in Iraq where were have 50,000 troops, or Afghanistan where we have 100,000, or South Korea where we have 28,000 -- or by what is happening on our border with Mexico?...What does it profit America if we save Anbar and lose Arizona? Chapter 11: The Last Chance We are trying to create a nation that has never before existed, of all the races, tribes, cultures and creeds of Earth, where all are equal. In this utopian drive for the perfect society of our dreams we are killing the real country we inherited -- the best and greatest country on earth. Developing...
Poster Comment: This sounds like a must read book. Maybe Pat Buchanan should enter the race. I'd vote for him.

Hear that Pete? You are a good guy generally but he is talking about you being duped here.
Hear that Pete? You are a good guy generally but he is talking about you being duped here. Really? Give examples. One example that I'm not is that I understand that just because Pat says something,that doesn't mean HE believes it. It simply means he thinks he can make money by saying it. Yes,he does make valid points. Many of them points others are too PC to highlight. This doesn't mean he isn't a Charlatan.
Give examples. Marriage. Check mate.
Give examples. Marriage. Check mate. I have been seduced by the Great Communist/Great Muslim Conspiracy because I keep insisting that ALL Americans have the same rights? Yeah,how "Nazi" of me.
Americans should have the same rights. That is what I believe. But homos given the right to redefine meanings of words is a no no. Go to the library and get one of those old thick dictionaries out. Then look up the word marriage. Report back what you find.
Nobody is redefining anything,but IF THE one and true definition of "marriage" was "a union of two genders",it would be un-Constitutional because it would deny homosexual Americans the same basic human rights that heterosexual Americans enjoy. And not enjoy. The definition of marriage that you and other religious bigots love is a RELIGIOUS definition dating back to when ONLY "the Church" could marry couples and they needed permission to marry. Which historically was a good thing because the local Catholic priest heard all the confessions,and may have been the only man in any providence who REALLY knew who were brother and sister. This was a lot more important to the survival of the human species back in the Middle Ages when most people lived in rural communities or small neighborhoods in what we would call small cities today than it is today,when people travel often and freely,and there is always fresh blood being added to local gene pools. The local priest also kept the local birth and death records,as well as the marriage records. Which means they really did provide some useful services to the locals as well as to the landed nobility. Despite that,it should be noted that we no longer live in the Middle Ages,and no matter how much you and the other cultists believe what you are taught,religion is NOT a co-equal of our form of government. Hell,we don't even burn witches at the stake anymore!
Thanks for that newsflash. ...and no matter how much you and the other cultists believe what you are taught,religion is NOT a co-equal of our form of government. I must have missed this myth in civics class. WHO exactly has EVER claimed religion to be a "co-equal of our form of government"?? NAMES of the Founders, please (unless you are referring to Sharia Law adherents.) OR anyone of note for that matter.
EVERY single "True Believer" that has ever lived. Most notably,the modern Evangelicals at their pulpits and on their radio and tv shows. NAMES of the Founders, please (unless you are referring to Sharia Law adherents.) Have you lost your freaking mind? NONE of the Founders wanted organized religion to be a leg of government. Even the ones that were religious had enough recent experience in Europe of the result of that kind of foolishness. Which is why they demanded Separation of Church and State. Which YOUR KIND is repeatedly denying while demanding more "morality " laws be passed and enforced. OR anyone of note for that matter. EVERY single religious leader that has ever been on tv or the radio,and I am guessing all the ones that haven't. Let's start with the alleged Moral Majority.
They demanded no such thing. Quote one founding father demanding that. You can't. They didn't. Only congresss was forbidden from setting up a national religion.
Only congresss was forbidden from setting up a national religion. Exhibit number 1.
You quoted nothing. Does that mean you have nothing.
