International News Title: What Trump has wrought - WND - www.wnd.com - What Trump has wrought Posted By Patrick J. Buchanan On 04/04/2016 @ 7:39 pm
As Wisconsinites head for the polls, our Beltway elites are almost giddy. For they foresee a Badger State bashing for Donald Trump, breaking his momentum toward the Republican nomination. Should The Donald fall short of the delegates needed to win on the first ballot, 1,237, there is growing certitude that he will be stopped. First by Ted Cruz; then, perhaps, by someone acceptable to the establishment, which always likes to have two of its own in the race. But this city of self-delusion should realize there is no going back for America. For, whatever his stumbles of the last two weeks, Trump has helped to unleash the mightiest force of the 21st century: nationalism. Transnationalism and globalism are moribund. First among the issues on which Trump has triumphed – “We will build the wall – and Mexico will pay for it!” – is border security. Republican candidates who failed to parrot Trump on illegal immigration were among the first casualties. For that is where America is, and that is where the West is. What do YOU think? Is it moral for Cruz to snatch up Trump’s delegates? Sound off in today’s WND poll Consider Europe. Four months ago, Angela Merkel was Time’s Person of the Year for throwing open the gates to the “huddled masses” of the Middle and Near East. Merkel’s Germany is now leading the EU in amassing a huge bribe to the Turks to please take them back, and keep them away from the Greek islands that are now Islam’s Ellis Island into Europe. Africa’s population will double to 2.5 billion by 2050. With 60 percent of Africans now under 25 years of age, millions will find their way to the Med to cross to the Old Continent where Europeans are aging, shrinking and dying. Look for gunboats in the Med. If immigration is the first issue where Trump connected with the people, the second is trade. Republicans are at last learning that trade deficits do matter, that free trade is not free. The cost comes in dead factories, lost jobs, dying towns and the rising rage of an abandoned Middle America whose country this is and whose wages have stagnated for decades. Like the reporting you see here? Sign up for free news alerts from WND.com, America’s independent news network. Economists who swoon over figures on consumption forget what America’s 19th- century meteoric rise to self-sufficiency teaches, and what all four presidents on Mount Rushmore understood. Production comes before consumption. Who owns the orchard is more essential than who eats the apples. We have exported the economic independence Hamilton taught was indispensable to our political independence. We have forgotten what made us great. China, Japan, Germany – the second, third and fourth largest economies on earth – all owe their prosperity to trade surpluses run for decades at the expense of the Americans. A third casualty of Trumpism is the post-Cold War foreign policy consensus among liberal interventionists and neoconservatives. Trump subjects U.S. commitments to a cost-benefit analysis, as seen from the standpoint of cold national interest. What do we get from continuing to carry the largest load of the defense of a rich Europe, against a Russia with one-fourth of Europe’s population? How does Vladimir Putin, leader of a nation that in the last century lost its European and world empires and a third of its landmass, threaten us? Do you support Donald Trump’s no-nonsense candidacy? Tell the world with this brand new magnetic bumper sticker: “DONALD TRUMPS THE REST” Why must we take the lead in confronting and containing Putin in Ukraine, Crimea and Georgia? No vital U.S. interest is imperiled there, and Russia’s ties there are older and deeper than ours to Puerto Rico. Why is it the responsibility of the U.S. Pacific Fleet to defend the claims of Hanoi, Manila, Kuala Lumpur and Brunei, to rocks, reefs and islets in the South China Sea – against the claims of China? American hawks talk of facing down Beijing in the South and East China Seas while U.S. companies import so much in Chinese-made goods they are fully subsidizing Beijing’s military budget. Does this make sense? Patriotism, preserving and protecting the unique character of our nation and people, economic nationalism, America First, staying out of other nation’s wars – these are as much the propellants of Trumpism as is the decline of the American working and middle class. Trump’s presence in the race has produced the largest turnout ever in the primaries of either party. He has won the most votes, most delegates, most states. Wisconsin aside, he will likely come to Cleveland in that position. If, through rules changes, subterfuge and faithless delegates, party elites swindle him out of the nomination, do they think that the millions who came out to vote for Trump will go home and say: We lost it fair and square? Do they think they can then go back to open borders, amnesty, a path to citizenship, the Trans-Pacific Partnership and nation building? Whatever happens to Trump, the country has spoken. And if the establishment refuses to heed its voice, and returns to the policies the people have repudiated, it should take heed of John F. Kennedy’s warning: “Those who make peaceful revolution impossible, make violent revolution inevitable.” Article printed from WND: www.wnd.com URL to article: www.wnd.com/2016/04/what-trump-has-wrought/ Click here to print. © Copyright 1997-2013.

#2. To: tpaine (#0) Patrick J. Buchanan is right. Excellent article!! " John F. Kennedy’s warning: “Those who make peaceful revolution impossible, make violent revolution inevitable.” " Very wise words!! Si vis pacem, para bellum Those who beat their swords into plowshares will plow for those who don't Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God. There are no Carthaginian terrorists. President Obama is the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people. --Clint Eastwood "I am concerned for the security of our great nation; not so much because of any threat from without, but because of the insidious forces working from within." -- General Douglas MacArthur #3. To: tpaine, TooConservative, All (#0) This is a good piece as it underscores just how fractured our society is. Yes, there are many of those that fell and believe the way Buchanan describes. But just how many? Enough to turn the tide against the others that want more of the same or are willing to settle for that or are to ignorant to know what is happening? The answer IMO is no. The next POTUS will be a DRat, with perhaps DRat control of the Senate. There will be no wall. There will be no backing away from the TPP agreement. There will be no stiffening against Putin or Iran or even likely ISIS. We will reset, reset, reset (read cave and cower like Merkle's Germany and pay protection money). Why? Because the majority of We The People are not those that Buchanan describes. There is not enough support across the land to support the "peaceful" revolution. The only question at this point is what next? потому что Бог хочет это тот путь #4. To: VxH (#1) --- there is growing certitude (BY THE BELTWAY ELITE) that he will be stopped. First by Ted Cruz; then, perhaps, by someone acceptable to the establishment, which always likes to have two of its own in the race. You agree with Buchanan? -- Amazing..
#5. To: SOSO (#3) There is not enough support across the land to support the "peaceful" revolution. You're probably correct. People are always more comfortable with "the devil they know", and presently that devil is the establishment D/R party.
The only question at this point is what next? People have been predicting an economic collapse for years, but with 19 trillion debt and no end in sight it's likely to be sooner rather than later. When the free government cheese runs out and anarchy ensues, anything is possible. "Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD . . . " ~Psalm 33:12a #6. To: SOSO, y'all (#3) The next POTUS will be a DRat, with perhaps DRat control of the Senate. You speak as a wannabe member of a 'majority of the people'. Dream on.
#7. To: tpaine (#6) The next POTUS will be a DRat, with perhaps DRat control of the Senate. Why? Because the majority of We The People are not those that Buchanan describes. There is not enough support across the land to support the "peaceful" revolution. The only question at this point is what next? You too are a card carrying member of Morons R Us. How you come to that conclusion strongly indicates that you have your head planted firmly up your ass. Worse yet, when the Drats do take over all three bracnhes of the Fed government you will be wandering around in a daze muttering as droll drips down your chin "wa happened? I didn't see that coming". What will you do then when your so-called peaceful revolution flops? Ask for a do over? потому что Бог хочет это тот путь #8. To: SOSO (#3) " There is not enough support across the land to support the "peaceful" revolution. The only question at this point is what next? " See the John F. Kennedy quote. But, ultimately, our nation will go the way of the Roman Empire ! Si vis pacem, para bellum Those who beat their swords into plowshares will plow for those who don't Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God. There are no Carthaginian terrorists. President Obama is the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people. --Clint Eastwood "I am concerned for the security of our great nation; not so much because of any threat from without, but because of the insidious forces working from within." -- General Douglas MacArthur #9. To: Rufus T Firefly (#5) The only question at this point is what next? Trump just mentioned that collapse possibility, and of course infered that his presidency could control it. I doubt it, -- but I'd rather see him try, rather than Hillary.
#10. To: Stoner (#8) But, ultimately, our nation will go the way of the Roman Empire ! So sadly the Great Experiment is dead. My daughter barely knows, nor much We are well on that way and seem to be accelerating the journey. We daughter barely knows of, or has much understanding, of the country in which I was raised. My grandkids will have no idea whatsoever. I understand that as history clearly teaches us this is the nature of things. Societies are living things that are ever changing and societies come and go though than may retain the same name. As for my generation, we screwed the pooch as we knew better but let it happen anyhow without much of a fight. потому что Бог хочет это тот путь #11.

---- when the Drats do take over all three bracnhes of the Fed government you will be wandering around ---- "wa happened? I didn't see that coming". What will you do then when your so-called peaceful revolution flops? Ask for a do over?We've had takeovers from your Drats before, and survived. -- You clowns really can't do a lot during your temporarily deranged takeovers. -- We the armed/rational People see to that...
#13. To: tpaine (#0) whatever his stumbles of the last two weeks, Trump has helped to unleash the mightiest force of the 21st century: nationalism. Now let's see to it that applying the force is done by someone better intellectually and temperamentally equipped for the job than Trump, and send Trump home with our thanks. A government strong enough to impose your standards is strong enough to ban them. #14. To: Stoner, Y'ALL (#2) Patrick J. Buchanan is right. Excellent article!! And as usual, we may be the only two here at LF that think so... Thanks..
#15. To: ConservingFreedom (#13) --- whatever his stumbles of the last two weeks, Trump has helped to unleash the mightiest force of the 21st century: nationalism. Millions of your peers have voted for Trump, and no one in this election cycle is going to take his place... Learn to live with that fact...
#16. To: tpaine (#12) We've had takeovers from your Drats before, and survived. -- You clowns really can't do a lot during your temporarily deranged takeovers. -- We the armed/rational People see to that... First of all, moron, I am the furthest thing from a DRat. Second, it's not just the DRats that have steered the ship, they had plenty of help from the REPS. Third, once the DRat agenda is firmly entrenched and codified by the courts they will have control for at least a generation or two. By then you and your armed Rambo friends that might still be around will not even go down in a blaze of glory. You will not even be a pimple on the ass of history. Every day those of us who understand the dangers of open borders, stupid trade polcies, stupid military policies, stupid financial policies, creeping socialism, decaying moral values, and, the rest of the garbage that is being foisted upon us by both DRats and REPs are becoming weaker as a force for change, not stronger. Every day the chances of success of a peaceful revolution being effective become less and less. потому что Бог хочет это тот путь #17. To: ConservingFreedom (#13) Now let's see to it that applying the force is done by someone better intellectually and temperamentally equipped for the job than Trump, and send Trump home with our thanks. He probably should've set his sights a little lower . I most likely would've supported him if he was trying to unseat il duce Cuomo in NY . "If you do not take an interest in the affairs of your government, then you are doomed to live under the rule of fools." Plato #18. To: SOSO, y'all (#16) We've had takeovers from your Drats before, and survived. -- You clowns really can't do a lot during your temporarily deranged takeovers. -- We the armed/rational People see to that...
First of all, I am the furthest thing from a DRat. Your own words belie that claim.
Second, it's not just the DRats that have steered the ship, they had plenty of help from the REPS. Third, once the DRat agenda is firmly entrenched and codified by the courts they will have control for at least a generation or two. By then you and your armed Rambo friends that might still be around will not even go down in a blaze of glory. You will not even be a pimple on the ass of history. There you go, outing yourself by calling me, and my fellow armed citizens, - 'Rambo'.
--- Every day those of us who understand the dangers of open borders, stupid trade polcies, stupid military policies, stupid financial policies, creeping socialism, decaying moral values, and, the rest of the garbage that is being foisted upon us by both DRats and REPs are becoming weaker as a force for change, not stronger. Trump agrees with those policies, -- so why can't you accept his candidacy?
Every day the chances of success of a peaceful revolution being effective become less and less. And your defeatism helps?
#19. To: tpaine (#4) You agree with Buchanan? -- Amazing.. Even a stopped clock along the tracks in Nuremberg station was right twice a day back circa April 30 1945. The Uniparty acts as though the natural due penalty for its perversion can be avoided. History demonstrates otherwise.
#20. To: SOSO, tpaine (#16) " Every day those of us who understand the dangers of open borders, stupid trade polcies, stupid military policies, stupid financial policies, creeping socialism, decaying moral values, and, the rest of the garbage that is being foisted upon us by both DRats and REPs are becoming weaker as a force for change, not stronger. Every day the chances of success of a peaceful revolution being effective become less and less. " Sadly, the majority of voters who know more about what some GD basketball player had for breakfast on the third day, of the 5th month, 10 years ago, and can tell you what his shoe size is, knows NOTHING about what is going on!! And if they even bother to vote, will vote based on what some radio / or TV personality tells them, or by their party affiliation. With our future looking so bleak, one must remember what Thomas Jefferson said: " The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. " Our nation is like the Titanic, and after hitting the iceburg, asshole politicians, shit head media types, & dumb ass citizens are below the waterline drilling more holes in the hull!! As they say in ebonics: We Be Fu*ked !! BLOAT ! Also, pray hard & often !!

I was going to post it myself, until I saw you had. I have long liked Pat! I was practically drummed out of the Repub party when I supported him over daddy Bush. Thanks again for posting!

VxH --- And the stench of L.I.F.E.R. RINOcratic hubris wafts through the air...
You agree with Buchanan? -- Amazing..
Even a stopped clock along the tracks in Nuremberg station was right twice a day back circa April 30 1945. ---- The Uniparty acts as though the natural due penalty for its perversion can be avoided. --- History demonstrates otherwise. What does the history of the end of the war in Europe have to do with Buchanan's opinions?
#24. To: tpaine (#18) First of all, I am the furthest thing from a DRat. {sigh} F*ck off, moron. потому что Бог хочет это тот путь #25. To: tpaine (#18) There you go, outing yourself by calling me, and my fellow armed citizens, - 'Rambo'. {sigh} I have a carry permit, moron. потому что Бог хочет это тот путь #26. To: SOSO (#24) Poor you, reduced to fucking around.
#27. To: tpaine (#18) Every day the chances of success of a peaceful revolution being effective become less and less. {sigh} Even defeatism is a more rational and realistic than your Rambo shoot em up meme, moron. And you know damn well that I have been proscribing civil disobedience as the next step in your so-called peaceful revolution. That's right, just say no at the local, city and state level. But Rambos such as yourself and your shoot em up self-proclaimed posses of liberty haven't got the collective IQ to figure that out. So, again, f*ck off, moron. Go back to honing your 20" hunting knife. потому что Бог хочет это тот путь #28. To: SOSO (#25) There you go, outing yourself by calling me, and my fellow armed citizens, - 'Rambo'.
I have a carry permit, BFD.. Act like it then.
#29. To: tpaine (#26) Poor you, reduced to fucking around. I don't not tolerate self-made fools, morons or assholes well. You are the trifecta. потому что Бог хочет это тот путь #30. To: tpaine (#28) I have a carry permit, Yeah, BFD, moron. потому что Бог хочет это тот путь #31. To: Stoner (#20) With our future looking so bleak, one must remember what Thomas Jefferson said: Be my guest and knock yourself out. The more rational and highly more likely effective approach is for mass civil disobedience at the local, city and state level combined with a massive effort to take back our schools from the so- called progressive, liberal, racist, leftwing. If we could be successful at that and eliminate the leftist, secular progressive brainwashing of the next 1-2 generations of K-12ers there may be a chance for something worthy of our FFs surviving. потому что Бог хочет это тот путь #32. To: SOSO (#27) I have been proscribing civil disobedience as the next step prOscribing or prEscribing? A government strong enough to impose your standards is strong enough to ban them. #33. To: SOSO (#27) Every day the chances of success of a peaceful revolution being effective become less and less. And your defeatism helps?
Even defeatism is a more rational and realistic than your Rambo shoot em up meme. Senseless comment, and I don't do pussy 'memes'.
And you know damn well that I have been proscribing civil disobedience as the next step in your so-called peaceful revolution. That's right, just say no at the local, city and state level. But Rambos such as yourself and your shoot em up self-proclaimed posses of liberty haven't got the collective IQ to figure that out. My, you do rant on, Rambo style..
So, again, --- Go back to honing your 20" hunting knife. Never had a long knife, but we were issued a bayonet, in the 502nd.
#34. To: tpaine (#0) See also Pat's column from a few days ago. http://buchanan.org/blog/lock-establishment-cleveland-125077
Lock Out the Establishment in Cleveland!
#35. To: ConservingFreedom (#32) I have been proscribing civil disobedience as the next step Sorry, prescribe. We should just tell the PTB in both the DRat and REP parties that we are fed up and aren't going to take it anyone and not comply with their BS any more. Concurrently, we should organize a massive effort to gain control of our public schools and stop the leftist brainwashing of our kids. потому что Бог хочет это тот путь #36. To: SOSO (#30) There you go, outing yourself by calling me, and my fellow armed citizens, - 'Rambo'.
I have a carry permit, BFD.. Act like it then.
Yeah, BFD, You must be about 12 years old.
#37. To: tpaine (#33) Even defeatism is a more rational and realistic than your Rambo shoot em up meme. Of course you do. The Rambo shoot em up posse meme is the biggest pussy meme of all. "Never had a long knife, but we were issued a bayonet, in the 502nd." Good, go shove it up your ass, moron. потому что Бог хочет это тот путь #38. To: nolu chan (#34) the Republican establishment is grabbing any stick to beat Trump, not because he threatens the rights of women, but because he threatens them. Go Pat, go!!
#39. To: SOSO (#37) shove it up your ass You're a one trick pony.
#40. To: SOSO (#37) So, again, --- Go back to honing your 20" hunting knife.
Never had a long knife, but we were issued a bayonet, in the 502nd.
Good, go shove it up your ass,
Wow, now who's acting like a 12 year old Rambo? Did you used to live in the Yukon?
#41. To: tpaine (#40) Good, go shove it up your ass, I speak in your tongue, the tongue of mindless Rambos that have no viable solution to the problems we face other than do it my way or I'll shoot. потому что Бог хочет это тот путь . . .
