In a he said/she said analysis of some big political issues this election season, Chelsea J. Carter listens to a pair of fiery pundits on the right and the left. One is fiery conservative. The other a feisty liberal. And both always have lots to say about the political landscape in the United States. Now, Pat Buchanan and Arianna Huffington are taking on the big issues for asap in a he said/she said political analysis. In the waning days of the midterm election, the two political pundits were interviewed separately but asked the same questions. Their answers — like their pugnacious public personas — are brash, brutal and almost always entertaining….
And why do we need more troops? Because the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq are going badly for lack of U.S. troops, and because, says the Weekly Standard, President Bush needs to have the strategic option to put ground forces into “Iran, North Korea, Somalia, Lebanon, or wherever the next crisis erupts.†The Standard wants the U.S. Army increased by 250,000. Post-election, this issue will be debated in Congress and should provide the occasion for a larger debate on the issue: do we truly need more troops, or do we rather need fewer U.S. commitments to fight in places where no vital interests are imperiled? …
November 1956, 50 years ago, was a month the drama of which many of us can yet recall. It was a defining moment of the Cold War. This was the month Eisenhower was re-elected in a landslide and in which he laid down, in simultaneous crises, the new ground rules of the Cold War, both to our NATO allies and Soviet adversaries. On Oct. 29, in a strategic thrust of which Ike had not been informed, Israel launched a pre-emptive strike on Egypt, seizing the Sinai. Israel then called on Britain and France to come in and separate the armies and occupy the Canal that Egypt’s Gamal Abdel-Nasser had nationalized….
Since January of 2004, when President Bush first proposed his “comprehensive immigration reform,†it has become increasingly evident that there is a sharp disconnect on this issue between the political elites in the nation’s capital and the values and concerns of average citizens. This disconnect is evident even in the terminology chosen to discuss our immigration and border security problems, so it should come as no surprise that an acceptable solution has proven elusive. We can’t hope to find a solution until we have some agreement on the problem. I have used the term “illegal immigration†here only because in this city, it is the way people are forced to talk about illegal aliens. But traditionally, and in federal law, there is no such thing as an “illegal immigrant….
It is time for the American people (especially Christian conservatives) to recognize that the two-party system in Washington, D.C., is beyond broke: it is a joke! Pat Buchanan was absolutely right when he said that the two major parties are “two wings of the same bird of prey.” One party tends to support Big Business; the other party tends to support Big Labor. However, both parties support Big Government, and neither party supports the U.S. Constitution or conservative principles…..

GOP: The Party of Death
by Chuck Baldwin – October 27, 2006
If Gov. Jon Corzine wished to make himself a hero to Middle America, the opportunity is at hand. All he need do is inform the New Jersey Supreme Court he will neither submit nor sign the law it has ordered enacted – to put homosexual unions on a par with marriage. At root, what that 4-3 decision ordering the Legislature to enact a new law sanctioning civil unions or gay marriage is about is: Who governs New Jersey? It is about who decides what law shall be – elected legislators or judges appointed for life…..
As the illegal immigration debacle remains unresolved, a little wit and wisdom from Benjamin Franklin might be useful. On August 13, 1751, Mr. Franklin was placed on a committee in the Pennsylvania Assembly to draft a bill dealing with the exclusion of criminals from the province. We read courtesy of his 1939 Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer, Carl Van Orden: It was a matter on which [Franklin] had already written in the “Gazette” for 9 May [1751]. As Americanus, he aimed a bitter arrow at the British government, which insisted on exporting felons to the colonies, no matter how the colonies protested. It was, the mother country said, for the “improvement and well peopling” of America. Such parental concern, Americanus thought, called for some kind of filial acknowledgment, and at least the offer of repayment. Americanus had a plan…..
Violence stemming from the drug cartels has existed for decades in many parts of Mexico. What is new is the fact that cartel violence is now spilling over onto the U.S. side of the border. However, although the House report — by the Committee on Homeland Security Subcommittee on Investigations — focuses on the current risks in the border area, the threat posed by the cartels already is making its way farther north. If left unchecked, the fighting can eventually be expected to erupt more widely in nonborder areas, affecting unprepared law enforcement agencies and even civilians….
With the failure of the Orange Revolution, Ukraine is being drawn back into Moscow’s orbit. Now, Georgia, another former republic of the old Soviet Union, is finding that ex-colonies of the empire pay a price for becoming estranged from Mother Russia. In 2003, Georgia underwent a Rose Revolution that swept Eduard Shevardnadze from power. But in the street demonstrations that raised up Mikhail Saakashvili, Moscow saw the fine hand of Bush’s “democracy project.” Since then, Moscow has seethed, as Saakashvili has pulled his country steadily toward the EU and NATO….

Meet Pat Buchanan in DC on the book-signing trail for his latest blockbuster, State of Emergency!
It starts at 7pm on Friday -tonight, but I suggest you arrive early if you want a good seat.
Afterwards, if you want to hoist a few to the red, white and blue and meet fellow Brigaders, join us at the Austin Grill bar. It’s just around the corner from the book store.
At this low point in our country’s history, no phrase in the English language has less meaning than “political leader.†The bottom-feeders who “lead†both political parties suck up money and votes while burying themselves in the sand at any sign of a national issue. Yet one shark still circles among all the flatfish: Pat Buchanan. Buchanan’s new book, State of Emergency: The Third World Invasion and Conquest of America, is of central importance to anyone who wants to understand the Fourth Generation threat this country faces. From the outset, State of Emergency recognizes that the problem is not just immigration…
Does it matter who was the 300-millionth “American”? Indeed, it does. If it was a baby born to an American, that is wonderful news. If it was a baby born to an illegal alien, it means we have lost control of our borders. And as Ronald Reagan said, a country that can’t control its borders isn’t really a country anymore. And if it was a Mexican who slipped over the Rio Grande in the early morning darkness of Oct. 17, it may be a harbinger of the end of America as we knew her….
Between Sept. 11, 2001, and his State of the Union Address in 2002, George W. Bush had America in the palm of his hand. But in that speech, Bush blew it. Singling out Iran, Iraq and North Korea as state sponsors of terror seeking weapons of mass destruction, Bush yoked them together in an “axis of evil” and issued this ultimatum: “I will not wait on events while dangers gather. I will not stand by as peril draws closer and closer. The United States of America will not permit the world’s most dangerous regimes to threaten us with the world’s most destructive weapons….
The doomsayer’s torch has lately been grabbed by cultural sentinels like Patrick Buchanan, whose new book warns that the United States is being reconquered by disease-carrying Latinos. Unless Americans of white European descent can Ziploc the borders and start churning out babies, he says, their age of civilizing domination is done for. Buchanan’s fantasy is a common one among social conservatives, a supposed era of cultural homogeneity that roughly corresponds with the postwar baby boom. But if you take the longer view of our nation, you will see that it has been fed and nourished by immigrants, and has an iron stomach for seemingly indigestible newcomers….
If there was any doubt North Korea had mastered the capacity to build nuclear bombs, it has been removed. We have clarity. The effect of North Korea’s forced entry into the nuclear club, joining the United States, Russia, Britain, China, France, Israel, India and Pakistan, may be as far-reaching as was Moscow’s entry in 1949. For Kim Jong-Il now has the ability to smuggle nuclear devices in the cargo holds of merchant ships into U.S. ports, or sell atom bombs to friendly nations like Iran….

An Asian Nuclear Arms Race?

Draft Buchanan Update – October 7, 2006:
Now, with the facts at hand, if folks still want to throw their money away or expend effort on a pipe dream, then that is their own folly.
The core message of the research was that, “in the presence of diversity, we hunker down”, he said. “We act like turtles. The effect of diversity is worse than had been imagined. And it’s not just that we don’t trust people who are not like us. In diverse communities, we don’t trust people who do look like us. Prof Putnam found trust was lowest in Los Angeles, “the most diverse human habitation in human history”, but his findings also held for rural South Dakota, where “diversity means inviting Swedes to a Norwegians’ picnic”. When the data were adjusted for class, income and other factors, they showed that the more people of different races lived in the same community, the greater the loss of trust….
Like the great white shark, a scandal must be fed, or it sinks to the bottom and dies. And the Mark Foley-congressional page scandal has not had a good feeding in 72 hours. On Saturday, the Washington Post revealed that Kirk Fordham, Foley’s top aide in 2003, concerned about Foley’s fixation with pages, went to see Scott Palmer, chief of staff to Speaker Hastert. According to Fordham and another source, Palmer, alerted to the Foley problem, confronted him. As Palmer shares an apartment with the speaker, it seems impossible that he and Hastert would not have discussed so volatile an issue….
Pat chats with the Today Show about both wars – the one in the Middle East and on our southern border. Our thanks to Mike Clapper in Waxhaw, NC for sending it in. Listen…
