Patrick Buchanan, in his newest book State of Emergency, posits the following:

“As Rome passed away, so, the West is passing away, from the same causes and in much the same way. What the Danube and Rhine were to Rome, the Rio Grande and Mediterranean are to America and Europe, the frontiers of a civilization no longer defended.”

In a recent interview with Time magazine, Buchanan said:

I’m predicting that America will no longer be one nation but more like the Roman Empire–a conglomerate of races and cultures held together by a regime. The country I grew up in was culturally united, even if it was racially divided. We spoke the same language, had the same faith, laughed at the same comedians. We were one nationality. We’re ceasing to be that when you have hundreds of thousands of people who want to retain their own culture, their own language, their own loyalty. What do we have in common that makes us fellow Americans? Is it simply citizenship? Or is it blood, soil, history and heroes?

I can recall this country of which Buchanan speaks, for I am unapologetically white, male, and over 50. He continues in the article:

If we do not get control of our borders and stop this greatest invasion in history, I see the dissolution of the U.S. and the loss of the American Southwest–culturally and linguistically, not politically–to Mexico. It could become a part of Mexico in the way that Kosovo is now a part of Albania.

I happen to completely concur; of course I would, you see, for I have seen my country fragment. I find Balkanization not entirely impossible for my country.

Buchanan says there exists an “Aztlan Plot” for “La Reconquista,” the recapture of the lands lost by Mexico in the Texas War of Independence and Mexican-American War.

I concur and, in numerous previous posts, I have written precisely the same thing. La Voz de Aztlan comes out and says quite so at its website.

I happen to believe that Buchanan is absolutely, positively correct.
