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.

The manic drive and agenda to de-Christianize America has been the single greatest accomplishment of the Secular Humanists, Statists, and Communists. Their credo: "DIVIDE AND CONQUER." Though Buchanan is spot on, many of us saw this coming at least 25 years ago. It's now too late to save Late, Great, USA.
And here I was thinking it was the credo of the Catholic Church,which spread down to the offshoot religious cults, and fundie Islam! Just look at the wonderful examples of a peaceful society Christianity created in Ireland,and Islam created in the Middle East for proof of this. You will never be able to see this basic truth,though. Even the mere thought would make you uncomfortable.
Sneak, you're a great poster and one I agree with more often than not. That said, I just want to comment on this point: Yes, you'll see religious wars and conflicts throughout history. There's no denying that. But the Founder of Christianity DID NOT advocate violence - he instead said "My kingdom IS NOT of this world" and urged His followers to turn the other cheek. The fact that some who call themselves Christians fail to act like it is strictly on them.

Well and properly stated... But Pete realizes that. He's just bustin' balls. No,I am just pointing out that organized religion is not the same thing as religion. One is a money-making business that seeks power and wealth,and the other is a set of individual beliefs about the proper way to live life.
But you guys are always posting that the government and other institutions need to be run more like a business.
We have to because there is a budget to be balanced on the backs of the people,and there are cretins like you out there proclaiming that government should be ran like a charity that gives everybody everything they want and "it doesn't cost anybody anything but the rich!" Government has NO money that doesn't come from the labors and work of the citizens. None.

Too funny for words! So then, why are you compelled to change my post?
So then, why are you compelled to change my post? I quoted your post,I didn't change it. Posting to you is making me long for the good old days,back when I could exchange posts with lucysmom,who occasionally made sense. You are a full-time loon.
