Is it in their DNA? What is it about Irishman and being a bigot (too many of them on TV, Bill O’Reilly, Pat Buchanan, Lou Dobbs, Sean Hannity, and Glenn Beck), on the one hand Pat Buchanan, slams Sotomayor because her Yale grades, her experience on the courts are not valid because they were handed to her because of her race or she real did not even earn it, on the other hand he adamantly supports Palin because of her accomplished background, please, what a joke, he is an Irish bigot, plain and simple, like most of his thoughts.

I find it interesting that Kathleen Hussein, mrspeel, Teena, Dave, 60th Street, and the other c*nts go on and on about bigotry, while ignoring roxsteady’s racist post. roxsteady and pretty much everyone else here deserves to die slowly and painfully.

Josie – 60% of all hispanics are half white to begin with. A large majority, of the half-white hispanics are having children with white Americans, therefore making the U.S. even whiter.

Sociologist has determined that 83% of Black-Americans are half white. Why is it that if you are half-Hispanic, you are white, but if you are half-black, you are still black? Boy, you white conservatives and your narrow-minded concepts are really messed-up.

Sheesh! Unbelieveable! I think the only few logical posts were from picomanning and Eric. Pat Buchanan wasn’t being racial. Only people with racial issues would think this! He was telling the freakin truth. You can’t handle the truth, apparently. Sure there were other nationals here in the US along with whites. But as Pat stated, the country and it’s so-called democracy (laws, constitutions, bill of rights) were written “for the white man”! Don’t like the truth, too bad! Everything was built around the white man and it still was… until a few decades ago. If you think I am racist too, perhaps you all need to have your head examined very quickly! And get a few opinions on that too!

I like to hear Pat’s opinions. I don’t care what you think of the man, but I know he is not niave or dumb. I think he has some pretty “down-to-earth” replies and comments. I don’t always agree on his opinions or views. But I respect him because of that! I never EVER heard him being racial. I never ever heard him telling flat-out lies (like the FNC clowns). He always has an opinion because, hey! he gets paid for his views! What is wrong with that? I think it time for major America to step back with these hatred racial venues and start listening and learning; instead of pointing the fingers — like we are in Salem, MA 1600’s…

Just go back up and read half of these posts. You people are so quick to judge and destroy a man for factual comments? I honestly believe a majority of you negative posters didn’t even listen to what was said on the show and all you seen was the headline and that got you geared up for the attack. YOU are the wrong ones and you make me feel ashamed to be an American sometimes!

@Josie — I think the most powerful example in our country of those who have total disrespect for the rule of law just left the office of the President and the Vice- President.

Rampant population growth threatens our economy and quality of life. Immigration, both legal and illegal, are fueling this growth. I’m not talking about environmental degradation or resource depletion. I’m talking about the effect upon rising unemployment and poverty in America.

I should introduce myself. I am the author of a book titled “Five Short Blasts: A New Economic Theory Exposes The Fatal Flaw in Globalization and Its Consequences for America.” To make a long story short, my theory is that, as population density rises beyond some optimum level, per capita consumption of products begins to decline out of the need to conserve space. People who live in crowded conditions simply don’t have enough space to use and store many products. This declining per capita consumption, in the face of rising productivity (per capita output, which always rises), inevitably yields rising unemployment and poverty.

This theory has huge implications for U.S. policy toward population management, especially immigration policy. Our policies of encouraging high rates of immigration are rooted in the belief of economists that population growth is a good thing, fueling economic growth. Through most of human history, the interests of the common good and business (corporations) were both well-served by continuing population growth. For the common good, we needed more workers to man our factories, producing the goods needed for a high standard of living. This population growth translated into sales volume growth for corporations. Both were happy.

But, once an optimum population density is breached, their interests diverge. It is in the best interest of the common good to stabilize the population, avoiding an erosion of our quality of life through high unemployment and poverty. However, it is still in the interest of corporations to fuel population growth because, even though per capita consumption goes into decline, total consumption still increases. We now find ourselves in the position of having corporations and economists influencing public policy in a direction that is not in the best interest of the common good.

The U.N. ranks the U.S. with eight third world countries – India, Pakistan, Nigeria, Democratic Republic of Congo, Bangladesh, Uganda, Ethiopia and China – as accounting for fully half of the world’s population growth by 2050. It’s absolutely imperative that our population be stabilized, and that’s impossible without dramatically reining in immigration, both legal and illegal.

If you’re interested in learning more about this important new economic theory, I invite you to visit my web site at OpenWindowPublishingCo.com where you can read the preface, join in my blog discussion and, of course, purchase the book if you like. (It’s also available at Amazon.com.)

Please forgive the somewhat spammish nature of the previous paragraph. I just don’t know how else to inject this new perspective into the immigration debate without drawing attention to the book that explains the theory.

I wonder how much the folks backing Paco Fabian paid to procure the headline for this article. His so-called leading organization was founded barely more tha a year ago. Sheesh! Having met Pat Buchanan twice and seen a number of articles by him, I appreciate that he is an advocate for the employment rights of American citizens. You may learn more about this new organization by viewing this page: http://www.americasvoiceonline.org/pages/about_americas_voice/
You will learn that open borders advocate Frank Sharry, who also is closely allied with AILA (the immigration attorney’s lobby organization) is the Founder and Executive Director. Paco Fabian is the Communications Director.

I like Pat! I agree with nothing that he says but he reminds me of my very old school African American father who still refers to people African Americans as ‘colored’. I question how much of that stuff Pat really believes, he’s not stupid, just over medicated.

I am a liberal watcher of MSNBC, and while I find this particular comment and his support for Sarah Palin distateful, Pat is overall one of my favorite pundits on the network. He is nobody’s shill and he gives objective analysis from his point of view, which he is there to represent. He is a smart historian and often can add interesting personal perspective from his colorful past to a debate and often cites relevant American history that is oftentimes insightful. I also get the sense that he is not really a bad guy. This liberal hopes to see Mr Buchanan continue to provide a strong dissenting opinion on MSNBC..

Tena,

I believe those hispanics you were speaking of ARE caucasian. Merriam-Webster:

Main Entry:Cau·ca·sian
Pronunciation:\kȯ-ˈkā-zhən, kä- also -ˈka-zhən\
Function:adjective
Date:1658
1 : of or relating to the Caucasus or its inhabitants
2 : of, constituting, or characteristic of a race of humankind native to Europe, North Africa, and southwest Asia and classified according to physical features —used especially in referring to persons of European descent having usually light skin pigmentation

Pat Buchanan is for the most part correct.We all know this. Is Buchanan saying white folks are superior? Shallow minds may think so. Are we still fighting over the ambiguity of words to insist on positions of intellectual self-defense? Grow up! European culture had a powerful influence on the shaping of this nation. It was the values inherent to “White” European culture that was an umbrella to all colors of people raised up within and accepting of those VALUES. Those values were the fruit of hundreds of years of trial and error and the fruit was a conviction among the brightest of the culture to seek freedom and knowledge. God and the Bible was the foundation for all that thought. Don’t beleive me? Incredible! What we witness today in America is the decline of American culture. The TOLERANCE of non-traditional VALUES will be our undoing. Even independently minded people of color can see this. This is Pat Buchanan’s point. Sheesch!

By the way, despite what you may have been taught, all non-whites were not living in harmony, singing songs about rainbows. They fought and raped and killed, just like whitey did. Whitey was just better at it (and had more advanced weapons)

As a member of a Native American tribe, I would argue that this country has always had a white majority. But it was the white man who took away the Indians’ land and forced them on the trail of tears which was mass murder of women and children. Pat Buchanan just wants to remember the good things the white man has done in this country.
The white population may not get how hurtful Buchanan’s comments could be to hispanics and African-Americans. The white may see it as a conversation that is needed while the minorities see it as continuing hatefulness that grows prejudice and resentment. I don’t feel racism can be warrented just because it might provide some educational benefit. MSNBC needs to stop Buchanan’s racist rants and viewers should switch the channel when MSNBC provides him a platform to spew his hate and white supremecy.

SO………Coronado wasn’t a Caucasian? WTF?

By: Tena

Tena — Sat, 18 Jul 2009 17:36:29 +0000

Europeans first came to Taos, New Mexico, when Coronado came here in: 1499. Got that? 1499.

The damn caucasians showed up much later, thank you.
