What Pat Buchanan said: “Traditional Americans are losing their nation”
What unhinged Liberal Adam Serwer heard: “White Americans Are “Losing” Their Country.”
In other words, Adam Serwer at American Prospect just said that blacks, Hispanics, and all “other” non-whites are not traditional Americans.
Nice.
And…shocker…I agree with Mr. Buchanan when he writes:
The alienation and radicalization of white America began long before Obama arrived. He acknowledged as much when he explained Middle Pennsylvanians to puzzled progressives in that closed-door meeting in San Francisco.
Referring to the white working-class voters in the industrial towns decimated by job losses, Obama said: “They get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.”

In their lifetimes, they have seen their Christian faith purged from schools their taxes paid for, and mocked in movies and on TV. They have seen their factories shuttered in the thousands and their jobs outsourced in the millions to Mexico and China. They have seen trillions of tax dollars go for Great Society programs, but have seen no Great Society, only rising crime, illegitimacy, drug use and dropout rates.
They watch on cable TV as illegal aliens walk into their country, are rewarded with free educations and health care and take jobs at lower pay than American families can live on – then carry Mexican flags in American cities and demand U.S. citizenship.
They see Wall Street banks bailed out as they sweat their next paycheck, then read that bank profits are soaring, and the big bonuses for the brilliant bankers are back. Neither they nor their kids ever benefited from affirmative action, unlike Barack and Michelle Obama.
They see a government in Washington that cannot balance its books, win our wars or protect our borders. The government shovels out trillions to Fortune 500 corporations and banks to rescue the country from a crisis created by the government and Fortune 500 corporations and banks.
America was once their country. They sense they are losing it. And they are right.
Mr. Buchanan also mentions a group of Patriots who are promising to keep the oaths they took as military members and law enforcement officers to protect and defend this country and our Constitution — the Oath Keepers:
Writes Alan Maimon in the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Oath Keepers, depending on where one stands, are “either strident defenders of liberty or dangerous peddlers of paranoia.”
Formed in March, they are ex-military and police who repledge themselves to defend the Constitution, even if it means disobeying orders. If the U.S. government ordered law enforcement agencies to violate Second Amendment rights by disarming the people, Oath Keepers will not obey.
“The whole point of Oath Keepers is to stop a dictatorship from ever happening here,” says founding father Stewart Rhodes, an ex-Army paratrooper and Yale-trained lawyer
. “My focus is on the guys with the guns, because they can’t do it without them.
“We say if the American people decide it’s time for a revolution, we’ll fight with you.”
Those who have read this blog for anytime at all will not be surprised to find out that I’m a member of the Oath Keepers.
Good post.
I’m glad you wrote about Oath Keepers, as I had been intending to when I had enough time.
I only recently found out about this organization, but will be joining too.
100% agreement
I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and DOMESTIC!
I bookmarked the Oath Keepers site about a month ago. It makes me feel safer to know they are there. Thanks for your service, Robbie, and for being a member of this great organization!
Robbie, do you remember a discussion you and I had about losing our nation?
Oath Keepers will make sure we do not do that. Your oath was to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States, not some politican who managed to fool 52% of the voting populace.
I have never cried after an election. I cried on the evening of November 4,2008 because I knew that our nation had finally reached the apathy stage.
But there is hope. Oath Keepers are hope. The fact that Atlas Shrugged is once again on the best seller list is hope. Tea parties are hope. Town hall meeting are hope. And awakening citizeny is hope.
No, not the kind of “hope” Obama promised. But the kind of hope that we were promised by George Washington.
Never give up. Never give up. It is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees.
AMEN!
Obama can suck my dick.
