RSSPatrick Buchanan Gets It!
J.J. Jackson | June 4, 2006
I’ve been wondering lately, as I am sure many of you have: just what the heck is going on with our Republican Party? Where have all the good ones gone? With the exception of Tom Tancredo and J.D. Hayworth, are there any out there looking out for America and our interests?
I was just discussing this topic with other people and I have a theory. My theory is that the GOP is finally having what it has not had in a while. The GOP has power and they want to keep it. My theory, though, is the GOP is trying to drift further to the center and even a bit left-of-center to keep that power. I think the GOP figures they will always have the rightwing base because it is not like we have many other powerful alternatives.
Well, it seems as though Patrick J. Buchanan feels the same as I do in this WorldNet Daily article, “The State At War With The Nation”.
“Our Enemy, the State” was a minor classic by Albert Jay Nock that young conservatives consumed in the Goldwater days of long ago.
In the 1970s, however, “conservatives” tasted power under Nixon. In 1980, they captured the White House. Today, they control the government. But along that long road to power, many shed principles and convictions as they came to relish the wielding of power for its own sake no less than the liberals of the New Deal and Great Society.
I would say the proof of that statement lies within George W. Bush doing everything he can to give away our nation’s sovereignty to Mexico while doing the minimum to placate our desire for true homeland security. Seriously folks, do any of you think you are any more secure today than you were five years ago? As a person who lives in southern Arizona and sees the invasion happening constantly along the frontlines of a war President Bush does not wish to fight, I feel even less secure!
Last week, the title of Nock’s classic came again to mind. For “Our Enemy, the State” is an exact description of a regime that seeks to convert into law a Senate amnesty for millions of illegal aliens, while authorizing transnational companies to go abroad to bring hundreds of thousands of foreign workers here every year to displace Americans.
Three-in-five Republican senators voted “no” to amnesty. It sped to passage, however, with the backing of George W. Bush, John McCain, Bill Frist and nine of every 10 Senate Democrats.
That proposed amnesty, and the bipartisan support it won, is a textbook example of an establishment against the people and a state at war with the nation. For that bill would alter the face, fate and future of America against the expressed will of the nation.
I added that boldface for the obvious reason. These people are some of the biggest faces in the GOP. John McCain may be the person to run for the GOP as President in ’08.
Just what are we Americans supposed to do with an option like that? I’d rather vote for the Next American Idol than show up at that election. At least my vote for the American Idol would mean something.
But, there is an alternative. If we as Americans get out of our box and vote for the person we think will be the best as opposed to a lesser of two evils, we might still be able to have our country.
