Critique of Patrick J. Buchanan's Book:
The Death of the West
The Death of the West
In THE DEATH OF THE WEST, Pat Buchanan, Presidential aspirant, author, and TV panelist, forecasts gloom and doom for western civilization— however, not without an escape avenue—but threatening nonetheless. He ascribes cause to declining birthrates in White United States-European culture, and to over-production by Middle Eastern, African, and Hispanic migrating hordes, whose relentless fecundity overcomes host culture. These masses seek U.S. beneficence but disregard the Americanization processes and strive to institute those cultures from which they have so recently escaped. How stupid to bring their nemesis with them! These ethnics, along with American Indian tribes, irresponsibly resist modern advances by seeking the old ways in cultural isolation and thereby encouraging dissidence to the very system so attractive to world populations.
According to Buchanan, the white race, per se, roughly averages about 1.4 children per female; whereas, darker skinned people average about 5.6 children per woman. Accordingly, it would not require a mental giant to forecast drastic change in Western Culture.
Ben Winter agrees; in fact, a drastic change has already occurred over the past fifty years; but the next fifty years will see even greater change. Under the present status quo, the United States will become a third world country! Arabia, Black Africa, and Hispanic overcrowding are models most representative of future culture in this country. Warlords or Gang Hierarchy, in each ethnic province, will exact tribute not only from its own hapless ethnicity but also from raids against neighboring enclaves. Is Eastern Afghanistan/West Pakistan and African lawlessness more desirable than Western civilization? Is the primitive Hajiz, with Mecca and Medina exemplars, an idealistic improvement? Is this the inheritance desired for American grandchildren, for our great-grandchildren—if they can live to see its reality? Seven million Middle Easterners are already among us. Terrorist cells are already ensconced in major U.S. cities, awaiting an opportune moment. Does our Constitution provide for this nonsense? Evidently, rightwing politicians would impose this burden on their own great-grand children and great-great-grandchildren, merely to enjoy their own brief moment in the sun. This great tragedy is enacted when a semiconscious electorate continually reelects the same selfish representation year after year—under the guise of experienced leadership! This is our one great problem!
This author, Ben Winter agrees with much of Pat Buchanan’s philosophy—except in the area of religion. Our problem cannot be solely attributed to the decline of Christianity, as accused by Buchanan; which decline is thought to promote an insidious assault on righteousness and personal freedoms; but we can fault an increasingly permissive society, both Christian and Secular, who opt for political opportunism, less stringent constraints, and extra-special rights for ethnic segments in a society where hard work and illustrious entrepreneurialism are representative of the success vehicle and majority rule. Yet, minorities rule where democracy should reflect majority rule; and they usurp majority power which is willing to abdicate its right and serve as whipping post for ethnic misadventure. The undoing of America can be attributed to political correctness, to the romancing of ethnic blocs for personal gain, and to selling a part of America, not for National benefit, but for sleazy self-profit. Our downfall takes its cue from Judeo-Christian-Islamic calls for charity, even to funding militant cause, misdirected piety, and a basic pusillanimous anaclisis common to Judeo-Christian-Islamic disciplines. Despite a threatening climate, there arises no political stand against cultural devolvement, no patriotic stand to turn back anti-cultural invasions, no deviation in the statistics reflecting an insalubrious culture, and no rising awareness to the political opportunism inherent in excessive immigration. The Democrat elite loves it; the Democrat plebeian is ignorant of its ultimate result; the Republican leadership and fellowship is just now awakening to great opportunities in following suit—all, despite dangers inherent in the Democrat agenda.
As Teddy Roosevelt said, “A man who thinks of himself as belonging to a particular national group in America has yet to become an American.” How true! If immigrants do not like this culture, then they should go back to the culture best suited for their ilk! But they will not. They desire to import an obscene culture, to one superior yet liberal to change; and in the prosperous climate they seek refuge, they find the freedom to enjoy and destroy, simply because restrictions to imported cultures are absent in the new freedom. Why not leave the language, earrings, nose adornments, turbans, and burqu mentality in Asia and Africa where ethnic and primitive revulsions are appreciated. Good people exist in all cultures, ethnicities, and classes; but if they are attracted to this culture, let them desist from the old culture from which they would escape.
If we proportionally mix Suweto, Kabul, and Juarez impoverishment into United States populations, then, the future scenario is not difficult to foresee. Citizens will not be safe on the street or in the home—certainly not in the Church—but possibly in the Mosque. Cultural replacement will be complete. And they’ll beat the hell out of you for ignoring the dress code or stone violators for religious violations.
“IS THE DEATH of the West inevitable?” So asks the unambiguous Buchanan! Other great prognostications have failed: such as “Democracy dying during the depression,” “Burial by Marxism,” and “End of the world at close of the millennium.” But the prediction now outstanding is based on quantitative as well as qualitative evaluations. Unequal birth rates and metaphysical adversity works its magic. It is as inevitable as time itself—unless a radical monotheism devolvement takes place—and notwithstanding the political ‘right thing’ might predominate. American majority voters are not capable of resisting ‘familiar face’ inducements; they continue to vote liberal glad-hands into office; thus, slowly, the tragic wall writing becomes legible; and the inevitable proves its inevitability. Self-gratification and dark-skinned liberalisms will overcome any future white culture conservatism. We have come full circle, now we sacrifice our children to gods unimaginably demanding—as was the god, Moloch, only 2800 years ago. We did not travel far while making the great circle.
Insidiously, media anchors shape America’s cultural expectation. Slanted coverage infuses a false and unbeneficial message as they shape viewer perspective, liberalize majority viewpoint, encourage miscegenation, acquiesce to cultural disintegration, and edit reports to lessen the impact of minority criminals: such as, with only “12 percent of the population, Blacks had committed 90 percent of interracial violent crimes in 1994.” News commentators and politicians march in the forefront of our cultural disintegration, to denigration; hopefully, they and their children will be first to suffer the brunt of future victimization.
The deterioration processes is simple as told by Pat Buchanan: ‘Among the new weapons of cultural conflict developed by the Frankfurt School was Critical Theory. The name sounds benign enough, but it stands for a practice that is anything but benign. One student of Critical Theory defined it as the “essentially destructive criticism of all the main elements of Western culture, including Christianity, capitalism, authority, the family, patriarchy, hierarchy, morality, tradition, sexual restraint, loyalty, patriotism, nationalism, heredity, ethnocentrism, convention and conservatism.”’ On multiple fronts, deterioration of Western culture is steadily replaced by unseemly culture. What will life be like in fifty years or another century? “As Sophocles said, one must wait until evening to see how splendid the day has been. Is it the evening of the West?”
Patrick Buchanan observes, “Before the West could be conquered, its faith must be uprooted.” But How? Further observation concludes, “capture the institutions that shaped the souls of the young: schools, colleges, movies, music arts, and the new mass media that came uncensored into every home, radio and . . . television.” In the face of this formidable competition, parental guidance can have little effect. For, “we live under the rule of minorities whose vision of what America ought to be is shared by five justices on the Supreme Court, most of whom not one in ten Americans could name.” Unsavory and undisciplined cinema and athlete role models are constantly thrust upon America’s young and impressionable. Considered a standard of normalcy in academia, “In the African-American community, 69 percent of all births are out of wedlock, . . .” In this climate, religion serves as a social goodtime; sexual indiscretion is a right; ethics imposes a constraint on lifestyle; and ethos represents an indistinct, antique language.
On the political front, “The founding Fathers would have been ashamed of what Clinton and Albright did to the Serbs.” In every sense of the word, War Crimes conduct under the Clinton Administration paralleled Bishop Sheen’s condemnation of modern preaching: “to straddle the ox of truth and the ass of ignorance.” But the attack did divert attention from the Monica Lewinski scandal—the war also furthered Islamic cause in the Balkans! We joined with the Islamic jihad as they attempted to secede the Kosovar state from Yugoslavian confederation! Washington politicians ignored Islamic incursions while berating Serb reprisals. Why would the Serbs not kill as many terrorists as they could? We do this very thing in Afghanistan and other locations!
And now, assault against the proud emblem of Confederate valor must be sacrificed to Black anarchy—white liberals are quick to capitulate and ignore history’s integrity. History should be regarded as a statement of reality; it cannot be changed to desired actuality! Foolishly, our dying culture gives up its heritage, its history, and its honor. Slavery was not confined to the South; it existed in the North also—and Africa. The propensity to slavery can be charged to the very ones who suffered its consequence. Blacks created their own slavery; Arabs merely advantaged an opportunity requiring little investment, where Black leaders captured and sold fellow Black commodities from an endless resource. Now, opportunistic Blacks seek reparation from the country that freed them, and American taxpayers owe their sorry estate exactly nothing. Ironically, and though Mecca is the centerpiece of an important part of Arabia’s slave trade, many Blacks adopt the Muslim religion and Arab pseudonyms as a lofty ambition. How stupid for Black activists and illiterates to honor Arab insensitivity and ignore Arabs as the most obvious vehicle for disseminating the enslavement fostered by Black leaders. And even more opprobrious, Blacks seem to be ashamed of their ethnicity, their mothers and sisters; and they seek mates from the hated white race. Incongruous?
Buchanan closes with a quote from abolitionist John Brown, who rode in the back of a wagon on his way to be executed: “’This is a beautiful country.’ And so it is. And that is why we must never stop trying to take her back.”
Patrick Buchanan’s book is highly recommended to any person concerned with the future of this great county, who want to ascribe cause for our present distress. But Buchanan is in error when he attributes the cause strictly to Christianity’s decline; no, monotheism is part of the problem. For, the same incentive fuels Judeo-Christian-Islam shortcomings. To understand the philosophy bringing us to this present dilemma, one should attend Patrick Buchanan’s timely caution and then read THE GREAT DECEPTION: Symbols And Numbers Clarified, by Ben Winter. Here, one can discover the maximum extent to monotheism utility, coursed over a Ten Ages itinerary; which discovery limits time frame for the Judeo-Christian discipline and denies any Islam claim to feasibility. In this book, monotheistic application is reduced to its most common denominator; and cultural antagonisms, motivated by monotheism dictates, must fade in either the presence of legal-historical incertitude, ethnic liability, finite time frame, or premise obsolescence. With monotheism demise will follow a quick decline in cultural diversity; and to be sure, law will continue sans Judeo-Christian influence; for, man must always enact laws to protect himself from himself.
