Buchanan: ‘White America’ Died Last Night

Conservative political pundit Pat Buchanan stoked controversy today by claiming that Barack Obama's reelection has 'killed White America'.

The paleoconservative nativist is no stranger to racial controversy, having previously been accused of writing books with racist and anti-semitic undertones.

But the former Nixon advisor was more explicit on the G. Gordon Liddy Show this morning. When asked for his reaction to Obama's victory, Buchanan replied brazenly:

"White America died last night. Obama's reelection killed it. Our 200 plus year history as a Western nation is over. We're a Socialist Latin American country now. Venezuela without the oil."

Stunned by his clear racisim, Liddy tried to walk his guest back from the ledge:

"With what you just said right there...You seem to imply that white people are better than other people. That's not really what you're saying is it?"

"Of course that's what I'm saying," Buchanan replied "Isn't it obvious? Anything worth doing on this Earth was done first by white people."

All the white people I know voted Obama...including me. We all look at Obama as a man first, not a 'black' man and the irony is he's both White and Black. Talking about bringing America together-ha.
As its been said many times on this site We are all together the human race...any other race is just a matter of degree.

People voted their values...voted for the policies they preferred...not personalities. Romney is just a spoiled brat throwing tantrums when he didn't get his way and has always pressured people to get his way. After Mass....never again. Lyin Ryan is another spoiled brat smoothe talking his way into power but when the curtain was pulled back he lacked substance and character, pretending he was so smart with his unexplainable plan which turned out to be pure fantasy. Krugman and others warned us all along Ryan was not to be taken as credible or as serious...that he was just a con telling people what they wanted to hear but with no workable solutions. They thought the people were too stupid and ignorant to see through them...what a mistake.

Apparently there are states who now want to secede due to the election results. While are first inclination may be "See ya". It would tear our country apart. Plus it would let immaturity win. While I don't believe they can be successful because their petitions are just to have the president consider their secession, I created a petition to counteract their goal. I hope to show that more Americans from any political affiliation would rather work together, then break apart.

if it were not for the American Indians, the first settlers would have starved to death.

How about medicine? What was white Europe doing? Bleeding people for ailments, killing cats in a religious hysteria in reaction to the plague, and embarking on the crusades to fill the coffers of the church. The Arab, Indian, and Chinese cultures were creating birth control pills, performing surgery, and bettering their lives because they weren't consumed by ignorance.

Lets not forget castrating, torturing, and killing those who did not agree with the church at those times. Heaven forbid you should think that the universe didn't revolve around the earth.

Yeah Pat, keep on talking dip shit.

I'm sure that in a few thousand years, we won't recognize any of the present races within the human race. And as humans move into space and start colonies on moons and planets in isolated pockets, new and different racial groups and cultures will evolve.

Racist dinosaurs like Buchanan are waging a pointless struggle against evolution. As William F. Buckley, Jr. wrote, a Conservative is a fellow who is standing athwart history yelling 'Stop!'

Maritime trade in the between the 3rd and 4th millennium by Indians and Chinese.

The earliest evidence of agriculture over 20,000 BC in North Africa and SW Asia.

Earliest evidence of wheeled vehicle about 4500 BC in Mesopotamia.

Gunpowder - 9th Century by the Chinese

Firearms - 10th Century by the Chinese

First water flushing toilet - King Midas 800 BC

Reeeeaallllly! Proud2BlibKansan, why did you not post a disclaimer at the top or bottom of this article from the satirical site called The Daily Currant? This country is sitting on a tinderbox, including us here on DU. Doing it without a statement reminding everyone that it was a satirical piece had the effect of tossing a match on a pile of gasoline-soaked rags. I wouldn't even call it satirical. It's like some strange form of sick political science fiction...along the line of Fox News, only in print form. Look what it has incited... people read this stuff and think it's real !!

We all know Pat Buchanan is a bigot, and may very well have said these kinds of things behind closed doors in privacy or hold them in his heart, but we don't know that for sure. (Lord, I never thought I would ever be in a position to defend Pat Buchanan.) For Christ's sake this article is a piece of FICTION! I didn't know that DailyCurrant was what it is... I had to read down through the entire thread to get it all figured out. Whew! Please folks, lets step back from this and catch our breath.
