Patrick Joseph "Pat" Buchanan (born November 2, 1938) is an American conservative political commentator, author, syndicated columnist, politician and broadcaster. Buchanan was a senior advisor to American presidents Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, and Ronald Reagan, and was an original host on CNN's Crossfire. He sought the Republican presidential nomination in 1992 and 1996. He ran on the Reform Party ticket in the 2000 presidential election. He co-founded The American Conservative magazine and launched a foundation named The American Cause.[1] He has been published in Human Events, National Review, The Nation and Rolling Stone. He is currently a political commentator on the MSNBC cable network including the show Morning Joe and a regular on The McLaughlin Group. In 1990, Buchanan published a newsletter called Patrick J. Buchanan: From the Right; it sent subscribers a bumper sticker reading: "Read Our Lips! No new taxes."[16] In 1992, Buchanan explained his reasons for challenging the incumbent, President George H. W. Bush: “If the country wants to go in a liberal direction, if the country wants to go in the direction of [Democrats] George Mitchell and Tom Foley, it doesn't bother me as long as I've made the best case I can. What I can't stand are the back-room deals. They're all in on it, the insider game, the establishment game — this is what we're running against.[6] ” He ran on a platform of immigration reduction, protectionism and social conservatism, including opposition to multiculturalism, abortion, and gay rights. Buchanan seriously challenged Bush (whose popularity was waning) when he won 38 percent of the seminal New Hampshire primary. In the primary elections, Buchanan garnered three million total votes. In 'State of Emergency', Buchanan proposes the following immigration policy: 10-year moratorium on all legal immigration at a level between 150,000 and 250,000 per year A 2000-mile double-line security fence between the United States and Mexico A federally legislated end to all social welfare benefits for illegal aliens, except for emergency medical services A crackdown on major businesses that chronically hire illegal aliens and the elimination of deductibility for all wages paid to illegals A federal law to "restate the true meaning of the 14th Amendment" and denial of automatic citizenship to "anchor babies" born to illegal aliens A policy allowing immigrants to bring in only wives and non-adult children An end to dual citizenship in the United States A deportation program beginning with all aliens convicted of felonies and every gang member who is not a citizen of the United States[61]

You and yours had your chance, and you blew it. The new order is set to sweep you and your allies into the ash-heap of history. The last pages of the US are being written as I write these lines, you are bankrupt. Like I said before, you "conservatives" are like those Japanese soldiers who fought on islands for decades not knowing they had lost the war. YOU LOST.
