I agree with Pat on many things, securing our border for one, but I believe Pat is living in the 1920s. The global community is here to stay, Pat. We can't just build walls around our country and stick our head in the sand. He wants to institute a 20% tax on imports - that sounds like a recipe for another Great Depression. Stick to the culture war, Pat.

"women and minorities hardest hit"

Someone tell me which current GOP candidate is espousing even 2 of these solutions to his very insightful observations!  (And DON'T tell me Ron Paul.) 

If just one of our current 'serious' contenders would step up and show this type of  leadership there would be a grassroots groundswell.  But they're too busy doin' the 'media dance' and calculating their positions based on 'internal' polling data.

The only thing Drudge left out was P.B.'s position on MMGW.  But I have no doubt it's in the book.

Good Orderly Direction

History repeats itself. I am never amazed when people refuse to learn anything.  Joe Kennedy Sr (in the lead up to WWII) .  Stated that "democracy was dead or dying and that maybe it should".  It ruined him politically,  and it should have.  Otherwise,  we would have had the head henchman of that crime family in power.

Buchanan has done the very same thing to himself. Good.  This country does not need any more defeatist running around spouting their garbage. We already have a bushel of 'em, thank you very much!

Who needs that crap?  And who need Buchanan? Nothing new to add.  Ignore him, ignore his book.  His yellow streak is showing through now like a neon light.  He is a coward,  a weak man.

If Pat Buchanan is so smart, then why doesn't he run for president.  Oh, wait.

I do believe that our country, like Rome, will eventually break up over factions rather than territory. 

"• However, I do accept Torn asunder by a culture war, America has now begun to break down along class, ethnic and racial lines." 

 - - -  

The following will never happen.  How else could liberals get their left-wing agendas as law?

"• To reach a cold peace in the culture war, Buchanan urges a return to federalism and the overthrow of our judicial dictatorship by Congressionally mandated restrictions on the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court."

 - - -  

Next, been there, done that.  Appeasing Russia didn't work.  They only understand force.

"• To avert a second Cold War, the United States should “get out of Russia’s space and get out of Russia’s face,” and shut down all U.S. bases on the soil of the former Soviet Union."

English as the offical langauge will never pass because the left will say that it promotes one culture as better than another.  Of course, they're wrong, but the Democrats will play along.

Give up, Pat.  I accept your inevitable overall conclusion based upon the histories of empires, but not your solutions.  Even Rome tried replacing a republic with dictators and that only worked during one phase.  The problem is human nature, and nothing will change that.

AP- Strong start... BUT

some forecasters say this will be the weakest in five years

If it had been a weak start how would AP had reacted?
