Download Day of Reckoning: How Hubris, Ideology, and Greed are Tearing America Apart AudioBook Free
America is coming apart at the seams. Forces foreign and domestic seek a finish to U.S. sovereignty and independence. Before us looms the chance of America breaking up such as race, ethnicity, class and culture. In Day of Reckoning, Pat Buchanan reveals the real existential crisis of the nation and shows how President Bush's post-9/11 conversion for an ideology of "democratism" led us to the precipice of strategic disaster abroad and savage division at home.
Ideology, writes Buchanan, is a Golden Calf, a false god, a secular religion that seeks vainly, like Marxism, to create a paradise on earth.
While free enterprise is good, the worship of your "free trade" that is destroying the dollar, de-industrializing America, and ending our financial independence, is cult madness. While America must are a symbol of freedom and self-determination, the utilization of U.S. troops to police the earth or serve as advance guard of some "world democratic revolution" is, as Iraq shows, imperial folly that will bring ruin to the republic. While America should speak out for human rights, the idea that we enter Russia's face and give away moral report cards to every nation on earth is moral arrogance. While we've benefited from immigration and the melting pot caused an incredible number of Europeans, the idea we can import endless an incredible number of aliens, legal and illegal, from every culture, clime, creed, and continent on earth, but still remain a country, is absurd.
To save America the first imperative is to eliminate from power the ideologues of both parties who've nearly killed our country.
In his final chapter, Buchanan lays out suggestions to avoid the end of America. He calls for a bottom-up overview of all of America's Cold War commitments, a ten-point program to secure America's borders, suggestions to halt the erosion in our national sovereignty and restore our manufacturing preeminence and financial independence, and a formula for locating the way to a cold peace in the culture wars.
Buchanan offers a radical but necessary program, for neither party is addressing the true crisis of America -- whether we survive as you nation and people, or disintegrate into what Theodore Roosevelt called a "tangle of squabbling nationalities" rather than a nation by any means.ON THIS EYE-OPENING BOOK, PAT BUCHANAN REVEALS THE PERILOUS PATH OUR NATION HAS TAKEN:- Pax Americana -- the era of U.S. global dominance -- has ended.- A struggle for world hegemony among the United States, China, a resurgent Russia and radical Islam has begun.- Torn apart by a culture war, America has begun to Balkanize and break down along class, cultural, ethnic, and racial lines.- Free trade is hollowing out U.S. industry, destroying the dollar, and plunging the united states into long term dependency and unpayable debt.- Among every six U.S. manufacturing jobs vanished under Bush. - THE 3RD World invasion through Mexico is a graver threat to U.S. survival than anything happening in Afghanistan or Iraq.
IS OUR DAY OF RECKONING JUST AHEAD?
