Toulouse: The Dark Side of Diversity

By Patrick J. Buchanan As an act of pure evil it was difficult to match. After dragging the 8-year-old by her hair across a schoolyard, the killer put a 9 mm pistol to the girl's head and pulled the trigger. The gun jammed. So he took out a Colt .45 and finished her. She was one of four victims. The others -- a 30-year-old rabbi and his two boys. As the gunman had targeted a Jewish Continue reading...

It Can’t Happen Here

By Patrick J. Buchanan Friday, thousands in Moscow, giving Nazi salutes and carrying placards declaring, "Russia for the Russians!" marched through the city shouting racial slurs against peoples from the Caucasus.

I considered it at once as the knell of the Union." Jefferson was writing of the sudden resurgence of the slavery issue in the debate on Missouri's entry into the Union, as foreshadowing a civil war. And that massacre in Oslo, where a Continue reading...

We’re All Greeks Now

By Patrick J. Buchanan Departing for New Hampshire in November 2010, Sen. Judd Gregg, the fiscal conservative President Obama wanted in his Cabinet, blurted an inconvenient truth: "This nation is on a course where if we don't do something about it, get ... fiscal policy (under control), we're Greece." The remark was regarded as hyperbole. But Gregg had a point. For though Greece, measured by Continue reading...
