Pat Buchanan had a lovefest with Sean Hannity on Fox News's Hannity & Colmes Monday as they discussed Buchanan's new anti-immigration book, Day of Reckoning: How Hubris, Ideology, And Greed Are Tearing America Apart , which is basically a white supremacy manifesto. Care for a couple of excerpts? Check them out after the jump!
There's this:
How is America committing suicide? Every way a nation can.
The American majority is not reproducing itself. Its birthrate has been below replacement level for decades. Forty-five million of its young have been destroyed in the womb since Roe v. Wade, as Asian, African, and Latin American children come to inherit the estate the lost generation of American children never got to see.
And this:
Almost as many African-American males are in jail or prison as are in colleges or universities. Half of all African-American and Hispanic students drop out of high school. The other half graduates with the math and reading skills of seventh-, eighth- and ninth-graders. Yet by 2050 the number of African-Americans and Hispanics will have almost doubled from today's 85 million, to 160 million. The future seems more ominous than it did in the hopeful days of civil rights. For these burgeoning scores of millions will not long accept second-class accommodations in the affluent society, where they are the emerging majority. The long hot summers of yesterday may be returning.
Do we think Pat Buchanan needs a nice hug and a tasty meal at Sylvia's? Or Rosa Mexicano?

As an avid fan of The McLaughlin Group, I see Pat at his worst and his best*. He is often misunderstood. I've heard similar views on being "American" from blacks regarding Latinos and Asians so he's not that far out - he just says what others (granted mostly conservatives) think. His last quote is not that far off the mark - although he loses me with the last sentance. I'll have to read the article. He's one of those people who I actually agree with 50% of the time. The other half of the time I wonder what planet he came from.
*I was a media intern for CBS during the '96 Republican Convention in San Diego and I had several run-ins with Pat Buchanan where I found him to be very sensible regarding his politics, extremely intelligent (especially regarding US history) and very nice.
Or a walk through Harlem. He didn't mince words in his description of the dissolution of white america. This little bit is classic: "For these burgeoning scores of millions will not long accept second-class accommodations in the affluent society, where they are the emerging majority." For a second there, I forgot how good second-class status was…
I think the way he feels is how many of them feel when they hear the statistics about how the minority population is growing. They hate the idea of not being on top and not being the majority.
I feel that because of these 'alarming' statistics lately they have been feeling a need to talk a lot of crap to and about minorities (nooses, marches to fight immigration, calling us nappy, etc).
And quite frankly, the only TRUE Americans are the ones living on reservations (American Indians). The rest of us are immigrants.
JB - you hit the nail on the head. He definitely doesn't like that the minority population is growing and that the white population in the US is going to be the minority. If you watch The McLaughlin Group that's something he talks about a lot.
all i have to say is this - if white folks hadn't brought us (meaning black folk) here in the first place they might not be having this "problem" now.
He needs to have a conversation with let one of the candidates. If the BLACK babies haven't been aborted, we wouldn't need Mexicans to come over here and take menial jobs and breed liberally. Actually, we should start sterilizing colored people. Always humping like bunnies and letting our young'n commit crime .
Funny…my "American" supervisor has less of an education than the "non-American Wetback" I obviously am (according to Buchanan). I have many friends, none of them high school dropouts, and my extremely intelligent husband (he is black) also graduated…yet my stepfather's son dropped out of MIDDLE SCHOOL and so did his crack-head girlfriend. If this is the great race that Buchanan is referring to, I would much rather be "second-class".
