Welcome to the Political Cesspool, known across the South and worldwide as the South's foremost populous conservative radio program.
Here to guide you through the murky waters of the Political Cesspool is your host for tonight, James Edwards.
Welcome, fans, to another live broadcast of the Political Cesspool Radio Program.
It's Saturday evening, October 22nd.
I'm your host, James Edwards, and we're coming to you live tonight from our flagship station for the past seven years, AM 1380 WLRM in Memphis, Tennessee.
Going out to the affiliate stations of the Liberty News Radio Network and streaming live, as we always do, from our official internet headquarters, thepoliticalcesspool.org.
You know, fans, you'll remember last week we spent a lot of time promoting Pat Buchanan's newest blockbuster, Suicide of a Superpower.
Will America Survive to 2025?
It's a book that's sure to be another number one bestseller.
And you know what?
I just thought it might be fun to talk a little bit more about the book tonight with the author himself, a man who needs no introduction to this audience, my friend and yours, Patrick J. Buchanan.
Pat, are you with us?
I sure am, James.
How are you?
It's great to have you back.
I'm doing very well.
Thanks for being back with me again.
I believe this is your third appearance with us.
And congratulations on the early success of your latest title.
You know, when you write a book, it's like printing money.
Everybody loves you.
No, James.
They give me an advance for the book, and then I go out and try to sell as many as I can to help the publisher get it back.
Well, I understand, but I tell you, I saw a couple of people at Target last night of all places.
You know, they only carry two books, and yours was one of them.
And somebody there was flipping through it.
You know, have you ever thought about running for president?
Been there, done that.
Three times.
Don't we all remember?
Well, let's jump right into the thick of it.
Sure.
Your new book is an epic.
It's thicker than the Bible.
And like the good book, there's not a wasted word in it.
Pat, as Americans living in this day and age, do we have front row seats to the end of Western civilization and culture as we know it?
Well, I think yes, from a variety of standpoints.
Let me mention the one chapter, the demographic winter of the West.
There's not a single Western country whose native-born population has a birth rate now that will enable it really to survive in any form we recognize toward the end of this century.
And it's my argument that when the faith, Christianity, which was the faith that created the West, when the faith dies, the culture dies, the civilization dies, and the people die.
And I think that's true down through history.
And we certainly see that in Europe, for example, which is well advanced ahead of us, where the Christianity, I think something like one in ten people go to church.
And in Great Britain, I believe more people attend Muslim mosques on holy days of the week than go to Anglican churches.
So I think the West was created by this great religion, if you will, and that created the magnificent culture of the Middle Ages and out of which all these great countries, which really dominated the world through the 20th century, with empires basically dominating every country on earth almost except for Japan, and now look at where they are.
And I think you see a civilization basically in retreat.
As Toynbee said, civilizations die by suicide, not by murder.
I'm glad you brought up our faith in your book.
This is a Christian program.
It is dying in America.
And, of course, that precedes the death of a nation.
In Russia, however, there seems to be somewhat of a revival of Christianity nationwide.
And of course, we've all read the reports where the Russian government encourages ethnic Russians to have large families.
What has made some of these Russians come to their senses and not us?
Well, I think the Russians went through hell for 70 years under Bolshevism.
They were a deeply religious and patriotic people.
It was Orthodox Christianity.
And when Lenin and Stalin came in, the church was literally murdered.
I was over there in 1971, I guess it was.
We went down to this museum of atheism in Leningrad, which was a gigantic cathedral.
And they had turned it into that, and everything had been emptied out.
So they went through 70 years of hell.
And it's very true when they were liberated from Bolshevism and communism.
Many have returned to the faith.
But frankly, James, if you look at the numbers there, and again, the statistics I have in my book, Suicide of a Superpower, deal also with what's happening in Russia and these other countries.
Russia has a birth rate now that will cost it some 25 million dead or Russians disappearing between now and 2050.
They've already lost 8 million in the last two decades, ever since they became free.
And the women are not having children.
And I think the death age, the median death age of Russian men is now something like 60.
It's not only to do with the lack of births, but apparently the health system is terrible.
There's alcoholism.
I think the average woman has seven abortions, I think.
I've had that in an earlier book.
And what's going to happen is that Russia, I think, is going to lose the Caucasus to the Islamic Islamists who are trying to tear it away.
And Russia is going to be a country which is virtually half Islamic by mid-century.
This demographic decline that Russia is suffering is obviously something that we have in common with them.
And there are a number of perils that come along with that.
I once said during an interview on CNN that you can't have a first world nation with a third world population.
Moving on to another aspect of your excellent new book, which I have a review copy right here on my desk here at the studio, you write that white America is an endangered species.
Pat, what's America going to look like if indeed whites do become extinct?
Well, I don't think, I mean, I don't think whites are going to become extinct, but by, I mean, certainly not in the near future.
But what is happening, as you see in California, where Americans of European descent are already a minority, and that is true in Texas.
And it is true, I believe, and there's one other, New Mexico and Hawaii.
And in this decade, I think six more states will pass the tipping point where whites become a minority.
I think the best way to understand what America will look like is to look at California today.
I think that is pretty much what America will look like.
The Hispanic population will be immense, 135 million, according to the Census Bureau statistics.
And if you look at California, the Golden Land, which used to have a, I mean, everybody went there.
It was paradise.
The soldiers who went out to the Pacific came home, went through there, and then went out and made their homes.
And what is happening out there, James, is that, I mean, look at the bond rating is the lowest in the country.
The taxes are enormously heavy.
They're on the well-to-do and the successful.
It is what they're doing in the country now.
And these folks are leaving the state, and many of the poor illegal immigrants, one-third of them, head for California.
You've got a black-brown war of the underclass going on in Los Angeles, according to Sheriff Lee Baca, in the gangs and in the prisons.
And of course, the welfare state is bankrupting California.
And they've got some of the highest taxes in the nation.
So I think, and this is what the country is going to look like.
And I quote the famous Harvard sociologist Robert Putnam.
He did a study of all the cities, the major cities of the United States, I think, and some in the world, and he found that social capital, that disposition of people to work together and live together and associate and join for common causes and good causes and political and social causes, is at its least in the city of Los Angeles.
He said he had never seen social capital so low anywhere.
That diversity brings about people really moving into their own enclaves, segregating themselves, separating themselves, and really cooperating in very little.
Pat, I hate to interrupt you, my friend.
We've got to take a quick break.
Ladies and gentlemen, a true hero on the program tonight, Pat Buchanan.

And here's the host of the Political Cesspool, James Edwards.
Welcome back to the show, everybody.
Pat Buchanan, our featured guest tonight, and what a featured guest he is.
He's on to promote his latest bestseller, Suicide of a Superpower.
Will America Survive? 2025.
I've got my copy.
Ladies and gentlemen, I want you to get yours, and you can do so tonight at your local bookstore or online on Amazon.com.
Pat, we were talking about the demographic decline of European stock around the world and here in America.
Every minority group, as you know, in this country, has numerous organizations and representatives who seek to protect and advance their unique group interests.
I found that to be quite natural and healthy.
It's not only allowed when they do it, it is encouraged and applauded.
You discussed this tribalism and suicide of a superpower, and clearly tribalism has empowered minorities in America and Europe.
What happened to the tribal instincts of European Americans?
Well, I think the, frankly, it is almost impermissible for folks of European descent really to organize around their ethnicity, or not their ethnicity.
There's an Irish caucus, and I think, but in terms of race.
But you have a point, and in the book, I do talk about the Black Caucus in Congress, which organizes and operates on Capitol Hill on government property, and it does not admit white members, and several whites who have tried to get in, Jonathan Bingham, I believe, and Pete Stark, have been denied admission because they were not African American.
And so is your congressman, if you're in Memphis, Stephen Cohen.
Exactly right.
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
I mean, somewhat lucky, I'm unable to understand something like this in the 21st century when anybody who wants to, even the Italian members who want to join the Irish caucus, I'm sure, are welcomed.
Yeah, you know, it's one of the greatest hypocrisies that we have to deal with in modern politics.
African Americans vote 95 plus percent for Barack Obama, and people just shrug and say, well, of course they did.
Why wouldn't they?
You have the Black Congressional Caucus.
You have all of these organizations.
And, you know, NAACP, so on and so forth.
And yet, if whites even hinted to have the sort of same ethnocentric tendencies, then they get denounced with all kinds of harsh language.
You write that those who change society.
I've got some figures in the book.
It's right.
Yeah, go ahead.
The African-American community voted 95 to 4, which is 24 to 1 for Barack Obama, which is astounding.
Even prominent Republicans like take General Powell, who, I mean, Barack Obama ran denouncing the war that Powell sold to the country, and yet Powell turned against his fellow Vietnam vet to vote for Barack Obama.
And he admitted that his race had something to do with it.
But you know, 85% of white folks in Washington, D.C. or more voted for Barack Obama, but 85% of white folks in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama voted against Barack Obama.
So I think there is a, and this fellow wrote for the New Yorker, Saleh, I believe was his name.
He sees a new people emerging in the white community in that people who are constantly sort of under attack and discriminated against by affirmative action, that eventually they tend to unite around what it is that is being attacked and what they have in their own identity.
And frankly, this is what somewhat concerns me to see the country, if you have no ethno-national core in a country, such as they didn't have in Yugoslavia and the Soviet Union and Czechoslovakia, as soon as they lifted off that repression, those things flew apart into something like 24, 25 countries, whereas Poland stayed together and Germany reunited on ethnic grounds.
And so I fear that this power of this ethnicity and worldwide what's called ethno-nationalism, I fear that this is really the coming force in the world, that in religious fundamentalism, and you can see these tearing countries apart all over the world.
You know, when you talk about the cult of diversity in the book, and this is a follow-up to the topic that we're on, it seems as though the white politicos who are explicitly involved, they seem to work against their own group interests rather than for them as the minorities do.
Again, this chapter that you write on the cult of diversity, I have to ask this question.
Why do white liberals remain entranced by diversity when the social and cultural effects of diversity are almost entirely negative for themselves and their children and grandchildren?
Well, I think there's many people, candidly, who I've been asked on radio that what is wrong if, I mean, why isn't it a really good thing when whites become a minority nationwide and we're all part of minorities?
And I say, you know, this thing, I mean, real problems are attendant to this.
But I think that there are some, if you, James, if you go with the average American, let's take the fellow that does the anti-affirmative action, the civil rights initiative things, and he conducted those which abolished affirmative action in Michigan by referendum, in California by referendum, and in Washington by referendum in three states that normally vote Democratic.
So the vast majority of the American people, and even among the young in the Ivy League, there's a feeling that racial preferences and affirmative action are simply unjust because there's a great belief among the young that everybody should have a shot at getting on the team or getting in the band or whatever, but the prize should go to those who are the best and work the hardest.
And the idea that people should be discriminated against, whether they're white, black, Asian, or whatever, because of the color of their skin or where their ancestors come from, I think they find that profoundly offensive.
And so I think the further we go down the road with this affirmative action, especially when now the women qualify for affirmative action, Hispanics do, although there was no slavery of Hispanics, and African Americans do, you've got 30% of the country white males who are really the ones who are the victims of affirmative action, not the beneficiaries, and yet they're 30% of the country, but there's 75% of the dead and wounded coming back from Afghanistan.
That's not a formula for social peace.
No, it's not.
And if these disenfranchised white males tried to gather together politically to assert their group interest, of course they would be shouted down as bigots, racists, supremacists, so on and so forth.
Well, you know, Belby Steele wrote a piece in the Wall Street Journal a number of years ago.
He's an African-American intellectual and scholar.
And he said this type of, if you will, racial identity politics is simply denied to whites.
I don't know that he was saying this was a good thing, but because of their history and because of the guilt and all the rest of it, and clearly, when this type of organization took place, it would be denounced.
But I remember there was not long ago, I guess it was several years ago, they had a meeting over in Leesburg of the Asian American Caucus, the African American Caucus, and the Hispanic Caucus to decide how they could get more benefits out of the Congress for their own communities.
And you were saying, wait a minute, at whose expense are these going to come?
So I think that's regrettably, regrettably, because I think that's where America's headed.
Well, and let's talk about that in-game.
I know we only have about a minute and a half left.
I think you were originally scheduled to stay with us just till the half hour.
Would it be possible for you to stay just five more minutes after?
Sure, I'd be happy to do it.
Thank you so much, Pat, because I want you to mull over this question.
We'll try to get into it a little bit, and then we'll wrap it up on the flip side.
And then I know you have many more engagements this evening, but let's talk about the in-road.
Where does this end?
All the liberal, multiracial, multicultural utopia fantasies that are destroying American pride and prosperity.
You wrote in your syndicated column this week, we don't share the same heroes, faith, or even the same language anymore.
If current trends prevail, what are we going to look like in 2025?
Well, this is it.
You ask yourself, I mean, what are the basics of a nation?
It is a common language, common borders.
I think a common faith and moral consensus and moral code.
Certainly a common history and heroes and holidays, all those things that make up the culture, literature.
But we don't share your right.
We did share those black and white.
When I grew up in Washington, D.C., even though we were a segregated town, we shared all those things in common.
Sure.
And now we have very little in common that we share.
And in addition to that, our politics and ideology are dividing us.
So if all these things go and we no longer have the Cold War to unite us where we could all stand together against Nazism or Bolshevism or something and communism, then what do we have left?
Pat, hold on right there.
Let's pause right there.
People.
We're going to pick it up right after the break and let you finish that thought.
Pat Buchanan, everybody.
Suicide of a superpower.
Are you worried about America?
Do you fear the power of the Obama brigades to take away your rights?

Hi, it's Dennis Daly.
Now that the world is electronically interconnected and there are microphones and cameras everywhere, we seem to be inundated with news.
News from the street where people are commenting about the economy.
Corporations have grasped control of our government and we would like it back.
A lot of the news comes from the halls of Congress.
I guess Republicans think if economic improves, it might help President Obama.
Police stories and stories of tragedy make up a big part of the news.
Other responding officers who arrived saw the suspects, what they thought was a suspect vehicle, leaving the area.
And of course, a steady flow comes from the White House.
We want to get some infrastructure built in this country.
We think that putting construction workers back to work is important.
But you know, a lot of news comes from a lot of other places, and a lot of it doesn't get reported.
That's why I'm here, Monday through Friday, with the news you might not hear anywhere else from Liberty News Radio.
Are you a native son or daughter of the South who pleads the stars and bars?
Someone not born in Dixieland, but who is a Johnny Reb at heart and looking for a place to shop that promotes Southern heritage?
Well, your search is over.

Well, you say that South Carolina is a bit too far for you to drive.
Have no fear, my friend.
All of this is just a mouse click away.
Go online at www.dixierepublic.com.
You're home for all things celebrating the Confederacy and promoting Southern pride.
Are you new to freeze-dried foods?
These fine, easily storable foods were first developed for the U.S. space program.
Today, the U.S. military and the U.S. Submarine Service enjoy using these products extensively.
Freeze-dried foods typically maintain their high nutritional value in excess of 30 years.

We gotta get out!
Ladies and gentlemen, Patrick J. Buchanan staying on for a couple of minutes of extended play tonight in our exclusive live interview.
Pat, before that last commercial break, you were making a point.
Americans of all races and creeds used to share common traditions.
It's not that way anymore.
I was asking you what the end game is, another 20 years of these policies.
Where are we?
Well, this is James, is what my great fear is, and what I believe is actually happening, is that the United States will be a legal and political entity in 2041 when there is no majority anymore and we're all minorities.
But I'm afraid because the things that hold us together seem to be weakening the centrifugal forces pulling us apart, as Lee Hamilton said, are strengthening.
I think we'll be a legal nation, but I don't think we'll be one nation under God, indivisible, and one people again.
I think it's going to be, we'll be a balkanized country, sort of a tower of babel.
And we'll be at war with each other over our differences in religion.
There'll be many religions here over culture, over language, over politics, over ideology.
And we see it happening now.
I mean, the atmosphere just seems, especially up here in Washington, sort of poisonous.
And I heard the term racist thrown out there.
I mean, it's a constant on cable television these days.
And, I mean, everyone's people, you know, just disagreeing with somebody and calling them a racist.
Those were horrendous terms 15 years ago when you had the civil rights struggle going on.
Yeah, listen, don't I know it?
You know, and we'll both be called racists tomorrow for just having this conversation tonight.
And that gets me to my final thing.
You know, and I know a lot of people listening to the show tonight feel the same way that we do.
I love God.
I love my family, Pat.
I want to see America's destiny and traditional cultural heritage reclaimed.
And not at the expense of anyone else, but for the benefit of all Americans, I don't want to be forced to trade down.
I think, James, it's, I mean, my hope is certainly we're going to be free to do that.
But what I think is going to happen is, again, the folks who believe as you do are going to basically, I think, retreat into enclaves of their own kind, sort of.
You know, all over the world, as I write in the chapter, The Triumph of Tribalism, ethno-nationalism and religious belief are driving peoples to separate from each other and to set up their own small nation state where their own religion is predominant and their own culture is predominant, and they themselves rule to the exclusion of all others.
And this, as Arthur Schlesinger and Pat Moynihan, both of whom I knew and who came to be my friends, wrote in 1990s in Isaiah Berlin as well, they said these are the forces that will shape the future.
It will not be democracy versus communism or democracy versus fascism or ideology at all, but these fundamental forces.
Well, you know, and that leads me to my last question.
You know, all that being said, we know a lot of the problems.
What can people do?
What can people who love this country do?
You know, I don't think it's ever going to be like 1950 again.
I wasn't born until 1980.
1950 looks like an oasis.
1980.
I go back a long way before that.
But, you know, I've talked about the 1960, the sort of Eisenhower transition to Kennedy.
And the 1950s were really a wonderful time in America.
I thought we were one people.
We'd won the World War.
We were united.
Ike was in charge.
We were challenging the Soviet Union.
The young president was coming in.
He was going to the moon.
And, you know, I just don't know that we're ever going to be like, I mean, like, you know, not going to be identical.
But I think we're going to be utterly different than that in the future.
And I saw today in a review of my book by Jack Hunter.
He said, he quoted Russell Kirk as saying, what is it conservative's duty?
And Kirk had said it is to preserve a particular people in a particular place at a particular time.
And I think that's what sort of I've been trying to do with little success.
And we have to look at things realistically.
We can preserve this, but it's not going to be dominant in the country anymore as it was.
It's not going to be the view of all.
It'll be the view of some, and others will have ideas and beliefs and cultures that are in utter conflict.
And so I see, as I said, sort of the balkanization and the separation of peoples in this country over these most fundamental beliefs.
Ladies and gentlemen, do yourself a favor tonight.
You can quit listening to the radio show now, even though we've got two hours left.
I want you to go out and buy this book.
Order it online on Amazon if you can't get out.
Suicide of a Superpower.
Will America Survive to 2025?
You've been listening for the bulk of this hour to its author himself, Pat Buchanan.
And you know, Pat, if my vote could have elected the president in 2000, you'd have been in there, buddy.
The Lord must not have seemed fit for it to be that way, but I thank you for all the memories for coming on the show again tonight and for inspiring me to become active.
I was in Washington last month and had dinner with a mutual friend, Marcus Epstein, and there was one more friend that told me to tell you hello tonight.
And I don't normally do it, but I'm going to do it for Linda Mueller.
We all share scars.
Well, thank you very much.
Well, Linda, as you know, Marcus helped me with the research on the book.
Bright fellow and good fellow and Linda's salt of the earth.
Absolutely, and so are you, my friend.
And best of luck with it.
We're going to do everything we can to make sure we move a few more units for you tonight and in the future.
We look forward to the next one already.
Thank you very much, James.
Pat Buchanan, everybody.
Check out his website at Buchanan.org.
Buchanan.org.
And now joining me in the studio, Keith here.
Whippy's actually been here the whole time.
And to Keith's detriment, he's the only person that wasn't able to listen to the interview.
He didn't have his headset on.
He was sitting here just basking in the glow of it all.
Keith Pat Buchanan on the show tonight.
You can't beat it.
Yeah, it's because of the arcane setup we have here.
I tell you what, we're back in 1950 in this studio, unfortunately.
In fact, a little bit before then, because we don't have two headphone and microphone set up.
We have to hand this microphone back and forth.
That's why we tend to speak not at the same time, which I guess is an advantage in some ways.
But let me tell you, I've read every book that Pat Buchanan has written.
In fact, I've read Death of the West almost as many times as I've watched the movie Shane.
And I can assure you that that's a lot.
And I can tell you that there is no one on the scene today that has the intellect and the just productivity of Pat Buchanan.
Pat Buchanan can rattle these things off, you know, top-notch, incisive commentaries on current events and public affairs almost in his sleep.
And as a result, we are very happy to have him.
If Pat's still listening, let me assure him that we are all praying for his continued good health.
We don't want him to wind up like Sam Francis, who was a person that, while not his peer, was very close, who died suddenly and unexpectedly back in February of 2005.
Now, this book that he's written talks about globalization.
It talks about the death of Christianity, not only in America, but in Europe as well.
He talks about specifically the death of the Catholic Church, and he talks about the death of white America.
Let's get back to those questions, if we could, James.
Let's just go over a couple of these.
Let me tell you what I picked up from the book.
One of the questions is, your new book is an epic, thicker than the Bible, and like the good book, there's not a wasted word in it.
Pat, as Americans in this day and age, do we have a front row seat on the end of Western civilization and culture as we know it?
Of course, the answer to that is yes.
That's exactly what the book chronicles.
He's sending out a last-minute alarm to people.
If you like the way that you have lived in the past, you had better fight liberalism in all of its aspects and all of its projects because that is what has changed America since 1950.
Every project of modern liberalism has been pernicious and poisonous to our traditional culture, the culture that raised America to the top of the developed world, that made us a superpower, not only militarily, but economically, and made us so attractive that people are trying to cross oceans in inner tubes to get to America.
It's because of it being a white nation with white Anglo-Saxon primarily values and governmental institutions.
This has provided, this has set the table for America to be the nation that it is, and that is slowly slipping away from us.
In fact, not so slowly slipping away from us because of liberalism and multiculturalism.
We have a saying on this show, liberalism is the modern face of evil, and we mean it.
The civil rights movement, for example.
A lot of people, for example, when they think about globalization outsourcing and offshoring, they say, well, that has nothing to do with the civil rights movement, right?
Wrong.
The first really oppressive big federal governmental regulatory agency that caused businesses in America to be looking for a way out, and that way out tended to be offshoring and outsourcing of their manufacturing facilities.
That was the EEOC, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, set up by nothing less than the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
And because of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, companies moved overseas.
Once they got over there, they said, not only do they not have an EEOC in Mexico or China, they have no EPA, they have no OSHA, and they have a very motivated workforce that will work for peanuts.
And that's why we've lost our manufacturing.
See, that's a connection no one else is going to make for you other than us here at the Political Cesspool, Joe.
Ladies and gentlemen, we'll be back with more of the post-Buchanan wrap-up.

And here's the host of the Political Cesspool, James Edwards.
All right, everybody, welcome back to the show.
Pat Buchanan on the show tonight for a little over half an hour promoting his new book.
You've seen him everywhere this week.
The book came out on Tuesday.
He has been everywhere on all the big talks I saw on Hannity a couple of times, radio shows across the country.
Tonight in the Cesspool for the longest interview yet, Pat Buchanan, buy his book, Buchanan.org, Amazon.com, Suicide of a Superpower.
That's the book.
Buy it.
You'll love it.
Keith, you've read it.
You know, Keith, I normally come into the studio wearing pajamas.
Pat's on the show tonight.
Tell him how I'm dressed.
He's got a black t-shirt.
He's got suit pants on.
He's got his suit over there.
He's got his shoes off.
He's been pacing the place like a tiger, like a cage tiger, just chomping at the bit to get at this.
And let me tell you, this is really Pat Buchanan's magnumos.
Magnum opus, excuse me.
This is one that takes up where Death of the West, which I consider to be his finest book to date, left off.
And believe me, he pulls no punches.
Where other people are feckless, he's fearless.
Okay.
Where other people are afraid to name and shame people, Pat rushes in where cowardly people fear to tread.
Now, let's get back to those questions.
One of the questions or one of the topics that he brings up is the decline of Christianity.
You put your question, Christianity, you assert, is dying in America, and this precedes the death of the nation.
And you talked about Russia.
Well, let's talk about why Christianity is dying.
Christianity is dying.
in all white nations, predominantly white nations, Europe, America, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, because in all white nations, Christianity has embraced liberalism.
Liberalism is the sworn enemy of Christianity.
If you will go back to the French Revolution and people like Diderot and Voltaire, anti-clericalism and anti-Christianity was the primary issue on their checklist.
Diderot said, mankind will not be truly free until the last monarch is strangled with the entrails, that's the intestines of the last priest.
Voltaire used to sign his name, and rather than saying yours truly or sincerely, he put it, erase the infamous thing, the church.
Now, that doesn't sound like liberalism and Christianity were meant to coexist.
They don't.
There's no such thing, people, as liberal Christianity.
It's like saying there's such a thing as holy sin.
And quite frankly, every Christian denomination in the West, in the white world, from the Roman Catholics to the Southern Baptists, has embraced liberalism now.
And as a result, those churches are dying.
The people in the most advanced stages of this decline in death would be the mainstream Protestant churches, the so-called Seven Sisters of the Mainline, like the Congregational Church, the old Puritan church, the Disciples of Christ, the Presbyterian Church, USA, the Episcopal Church, the United Methodist Church, the Lutheran Church, all of these groups like that.
They have been on this liberal project.
And as a result, they used to be where we drew all of our presidents from.
Now they have declined, a lot of them, to less than a million members, and they're in their death throes.
When you see that their biggest stewardship campaign, their biggest money raiser is trying to is estate planning.
You know, they're trying to feast off of the corpse of their dying congregations.
They're not getting new people in.
You've just got a bunch of tenured liberals in there trying to find some life preserver to cling on to as the ship goes down and the ship is going down there.
I used to think the fundamentalists were going to be the faithful remnant, the salt and light that were going to preserve us.
But I can tell you from here in Memphis, they have embraced the social gospel and forsaken the gospel almost more so than even the old mainline Protestant denominations.
Now, the Roman Catholics, not to be outdone.
They've got the Jubilee schools here.
It's all basically a plan to transfer wealth from the white community to the non-white community, which in Memphis is primarily the black community.
But, you know, I'm really kind of afraid to let my kids go to church unsupervised because if they really take what they hear in a lot of these churches seriously, they're going to jump the rails.
They're going to be crazy, mixed up liberals, and we don't need any more crazy, mixed-up liberals in the world.
And that's, you know, primarily, and as I said, you know, I'm a Christian, you're a Christian, this is a Christian program.
But this is certainly becoming true in some of the bigger churches.
You can still find smaller congregations that stick to the word and nothing but the word.
But this is certainly a problem and one of the biggest that we have, and it's why we spend a lot of time talking about it on the air.
And it is, if there are individual churches where this is not the case, almost every denominational headquarters is populated by liberals.
And these people can candidly admit in moments of candor, they don't really believe in the divinity of Christ.
They don't believe in the miracles of the Bible.
don't believe in the supernatural core of christian belief they see it as a way to do social work and to promote what they call social justice which as we said is transferring wealth from the white to the non-white community now you have that with bellevue baptist in memphis the largest southern baptist church in the denomination you you You have that with all these other fundamentalist churches.
Furthermore, they've embraced a heresy that is unique to fundamentalism called Jewish dispensationalism.
The Jews can do no wrong.
He who blesses Israel is blessed.
He who curses Israel is cursed.
And cursing Israel is regarded as any type of honest debate or discussion about the wisdom of, for example, America's foreign policy in the Mideast.
If you try to point out that the neocons that got George Bush bamboozled into bringing war against Iraq for the phantom of weapons of mass destruction, which were proven not to exist, if you point out that this was Jewish neocons like Paul Wolfowitz and Richard Pearl, who had written a position paper about this in 95 called A Clean Break, a new strategy for securing the realm,
and that it was intended to benefit the state of Israel by replacing Arab governments with governments that they thought were going to be friendlier to Israel.
Well, then you'll hear all of these fundamentalists chirping up, he who blesses Israel is blessed, he who curses Israel is cursed.
So consequently, they're embracing a cactus, a cactus of liberalism, and nobody wants to go to church to hear liberalism.
If you really get converted to liberalism, you're an atheist.
So why would you go to church?
You know, that's what it comes down to in final analysis.
And if you like liberalism, why go to church and ruin your Sunday morning?
You could go to the Rotary Club.
You could go to the Lions Club.
You could go to a group like Leadership Memphis, and you'll be force-fed all the liberalism that you could stand.
And Pat writes, of course, about the subversion of our faith in his book.
And it's just another one of the many reasons you should check it out for yourself.
Again, the title, Suicide of a Superpower.
Will America Survive to 2025?
And that's an excellent question that Buchanan attempts to answer in the 500-some-odd pages of the book.
And as I said, there's not a wasted word.
You can buy the book tonight from his website, Buchanan.org, or you can just go to Amazon or your local bookseller.
It's everywhere.
And it's going to be a number one hit aided by the audience of this program.
Keith, I know you've been reading it for the past week.
We got an advanced copy a week ago.
And what did you find most provocative about the book so far?
Well, probably the most radioactive topic he turns on is Jewish power and influence in the movement of liberalism.
And he points out how Jews are reaching an existential crisis in the state of Israel because they are outnumbered two to one by Palestinians.
Of course, the Palestinians are treated much worse than black people ever were in the United States, particularly in the South, which is supposed to be the prime case of the mistreatment of a minority or of a group of people by another group of people.
Palestinians can't own land.
They can't vote.
They can't immigrate.
They can't bring people over.
Meanwhile, any person who has Jewish descent, and you could be a Jewish atheist like Alan Ginsburg, for example, and the Jewish government could roll out the red carpet for you.
You notice that there's a great difference in the political stance of Jews in Israel versus Jews in what's called the diaspora.
That's the rest of the world in which they're a minority.
Where they're a majority in the state of Israel, they are totally opposed to open borders.
In a place like America, where they're 2% to 3% of the population, they are the primary movers and shakers in favor of open borders.
Now, they don't want a border fence in America, but they've built a border fence on the West Bank that makes the Great Wall of China pale by comparison.
And, you know, these type of inconsistencies aren't going to be discussed on CNN or on MSNBC or even ABC, CBS, or NBC, or even Fox News.
But they will be discussed here at the political cesspool.
We're your true alternative radio voice, ladies and gentlemen.
We may be the alternative mainstream radio voice, but that doesn't stop us from getting very mainstream guests, and including a man that very nearly won the Republican nomination for President of the United States in 1996.
If I could have voted in 96, that would have made the difference.
I think we could have got him over the top.
But did you vote for Pat in the Republican primaries of 96, Keith?
Absolutely.
He scared them to death after winning the New Hampshire primary.
And believe me, they do not want somebody that has an authentic Red State American outlook like Pat Buchanan anywhere near the levers of power in America.
We are still occupied territory.
Basically, the old blue state-red state divide is one of the big divides that could have divided the country.
That's the one that they're never going to let actually ripen into a separate nation, Red State America.
But our multicultural elites, they'll sell off the Southwest of the Hispanics.
They'll let the Native Americans carve out a place, but not Red State America.
Keith Alexander, everybody.
You love him.
I love him.
There's no one better.
He's better than me.
Great commentator.
Ladies and gentlemen, we've got to take a break.
We're going to take your calls about the Buchanan interview during the second hour.
So get your fingers ready.
1866-986 News.
I'll be back to talk to you in just a few minutes after these words Mark sponsors.
Hallelujah.
Well, Harv hit the aisles dancing and screaming.
Some thought he had religion, others thought he had a demon.
And Harv thought he had a weed eater loose in his fruit of looms.
He fell to his knees to plead and beg, and the squirrel ran out of his bitch's leg unobserved to the other side of the room.
All the way down to the amen.
