I’m just a simple working man. Conversely, great, sophisticated, Republican minds like Charles Krauthammer, Heather Higgins, and Peggy Noonan have told us since the election that we need tens of millions more low-IQ, high crime, irredentist reconquistas to replace the American people.
GOP Support of Immigration, Globalization, and Corporatism—Why the Reagan Democrats Departed

On November 3, 1969, Richard Nixon, his presidency about to be broken by massive antiwar demonstrations, called on "the great silent majority" to stand by him for peace with honor in Vietnam.
They did. Within days Nixon's approval surged to 68 percent. The ferocious Republican partisan of the 1950s had won over millions of Democrats.
Why? Because sons and brothers of those Democrats were doing much of the fighting in Vietnam. If Nixon was standing by them, they would stand by him.
In 1972 Nixon would win 49 states. Ronald Reagan, backed by his "Reagan Democrats," would win 44- and 49-state landslides.
Yet since Reagan went home, Democrats have won the popular vote in five of six presidential elections. The New Majority is history. The Reagan Democrats have departed. What happened?
Answer: For a generation, when forced to choose between Middle America and corporate America, on NAFTA, most-favored nation for China, and free trade, the GOP establishment opted to go with the Fortune 500….

I always liked Pat Buchanan. In fact as a paperboy I began reading Pat's essays on the OP-ED pages of the very newspapers I delivered, and this I did as I walked on along to deliver the said newspapers.
ReplyDeleteAs I recall I was about 12 or 13 when reading Pat stirred my interest, that would have been around 1967.
I also appreciated both Richard Millhouse Nixon and Ronald Wilson Reagan. However, make no mistake about it, our republican party is a castrated bull, useless to its namesake since Ron left office.
For example G.W.Bush had to embrace a "compassionate conservative" position in order to beat Gore in the electoral by just 5 votes, if I recall correctly, but however, still lost the popular vote by some 544,000 votes. Already the republican party was finished, a dead man walking.
I see no reason to believe in the Union anymore. White liberals and their allies, or should I say comrades, the Negros, Hispanic white/browns and Islamics have the numbers and further, have successfully transmogrified our winner, Founding Father's free enterprise Republic into their loser, socialist democracy.
God bless Pat for all he has tried to do. However, as I just said, I think the great experiment in a free enterprise Republic has ended, and ended in a transmogrification of which our Founding Fathers feared.
RIP our Founding Fathers America, you were something special to behold in your lifetime.
Secession is now the only hope for non-liberal whites and non-liberal white's posterity. Thank you.
I love your intro comment. I'm sending people to read it.
