By Patrick J. Buchanan At the Potsdam conference with Harry Truman and Josef Stalin, Winston Churchill learned that the voters of the nation he had led for five years through World War II had just voted to throw him out of office. "It may well be a blessing in disguise," said his wife Clementine. "At the moment, it seems quite effectively disguised," replied Churchill. Republicans must Continue reading...

Is the GOP Headed for the Boneyard?

By Patrick J. Buchanan After its second defeat at the hands of Barack Obama, under whom unemployment has never been lower than the day George W. Bush left office, the Republican Party has at last awakened to its existential crisis. Eighteen states have voted Democratic in six straight elections.

The Coming Age of Austerity
Tuesday - November 6, 2012 at 5:05 am
By Patrick J. Buchanan "Are the good times really over for good?" asked Merle Haggard in his 1982 lament. Then, the good times weren't over. In fact, they were coming back, with the Reagan recovery, the renewal of the American spirit and the end of a Cold War that had consumed so much of our lives. Yet whoever wins today, it is hard to be sanguine about the future. The demographic and Continue reading...
In the Long Run, Is the GOP Dead?

By Patrick J. Buchanan Since 1928, only Dwight Eisenhower and George W. Bush have won the presidency while capturing both houses of Congress for the GOP.

With this hopeful prospect, why the near Continue reading...

By Patrick J. Buchanan Among the more controversial chapters in "Suicide of a Superpower," my book published last fall, was the one titled, "The End of White America."

A Nation Arms Itself — For What?
Tuesday - April 3, 2012 at 11:26 am
By Patrick J. Buchanan With the shooting death of Trayvon Martin by a neighborhood watch volunteer who was legally carrying a 9-millimeter handgun, the familiar wail has arisen from our cultural and media elite: America has too many guns! “Open carry” and “concealed carry” laws should be repealed. Florida’s “Stand-your-ground” law, replicated in two dozen states, Continue reading...
It’s All About Race Now

By Patrick J. Buchanan If it had been a white teenager who was shot, and a 28-year-old black guy who shot him, the black guy would have been arrested. So assert those demanding the arrest of George Zimmerman, who shot and killed Trayvon Martin. And they may be right. Yet if Trayvon had been shot dead by a black neighborhood watch volunteer, Jesse Jackson would not have been in a pulpit Continue reading...
