[QUOTE=Pat Buchanan] Traditional Americans are losing their nation [/QUOTE] Of course, by “Traditional Americans”, he means the Native Americans, doesn’t he? You know, the guys that were living in North American before all those white guys came across and destroyed their nation. ---

I think we need to invent a drinking game based on Raving Right catch phrases: “Real Americans” or “Traditional Americans” - drink “Media Elite” drink twice “Middle America” drink “Second Amendment” drink “Defend the Constitution” chug “Obama” or " Clinton" or “Kennedy” drink for each; if all three then chug feel free to add some more ---

Don’t you get it? By “traditional Americans” he means “white male racists” are losing Amerca. Pat is right about that. The crazy part is that he thinks this is bad, when it’s actually good. ---

Pat Buchanan serves one purpose and one purpose only: to prove that Jews do not control the media. His autobiography is set in Washington D.C. in the pre-civil rights era. It just drips with sentiment about how the happy darkies didn’t want rights at all nosiree bob and women were just happy to be in the kitchen all day cooking up good meals for the menfolk. ---

You know, if I told you I had read an essay where the opening statement was > [@](#): > > In the brief age of Obama, we have had “truthers,” “birthers,” tea party activists and town-hall dissenters. and then asked you to tell me where in the political spectrum the author lay and what you believed the thesis of the essay would be, I don’t think one person in twenty would get it right. ---

> [@DanBlather](#): > > [This](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=525382&highlight=Buchanan) guy got it right. He’s taken it one step further since then. Rooting for the poor, oppressed White majority to get ready with their guns. If I saw that bigoted bastard walking down the street, I’d be another minority statistic sitting in a jail cell because I don’t know if I could restrain myself from cockpunching the assclown. I mean, it’s not like I’m white and good and real or anything. He’d be expecting that, right? ---

The funny thing about organizations like the “Oath Keepers” is their apparently unwillingness to realize that in a revolution (civil war) there wouldn’t be one faction of revolutionaries there would be about 1000. ---

The Oath Keepers are funny. > [@](#): > > 1. We will NOT obey orders to disarm the American people. > > 2. We will NOT obey orders to conduct warrantless searches of the American people > > 3. We will NOT obey orders to detain American citizens as “unlawful enemy combatants” or to subject them to military tribunal. > > 4. We will NOT obey orders to impose martial law or a “state of emergency” on a state. > > 5. We will NOT obey orders to invade and subjugate any state that asserts its sovereignty. > > 6. We will NOT obey any order to blockade American cities, thus turning them into giant concentration camps. > > 7. We will NOT obey any order to force American citizens into any form of detention camps under any pretext. > > 8. We will NOT obey orders to assist or support the use of any foreign troops on U.S. soil against the American people to “keep the peace” or to “maintain control." > > 9. We will NOT obey any orders to confiscate the property of the American people, including food and other essential supplies. > > 10.We will NOT obey any orders which infringe on the right of the people to free speech, to peaceably assemble, and to petition their government for a redress of grievances. I almost hope the government _does_ try some of that stuff, just so we can laugh at the oath keepers when they band together to express their outrage by blogging about it. ---

It’s also funny that in Buchanan’s screed he talks about rising crime. The idea of rising crime is a funny one, even though crime has been steadily DECREASING for my entire life most people consider it axiomatic that it’s rising. ---

The point is to pick a commonly held buzzword or two so that you drink regularly but not so common that you cannot take a breath. ---
