Pat Buchanan, fully Patrick Joseph "Pat" Buchanan

American Paleoconservative Racist Political Commentator, Nazi Sympathizer, Author, Syndicated Columnist, Politician and Broadcaster, sought Presidential Nomination on the Reform Party ticket

"Does this First World nation wish to become a Third World country? Because that is our destiny if we do not build a sea wall against the waves of immigration rolling over our shores?.."

"For years, my friends, we have all heard that familiar taunt, 'Don't worry about them; they have nowhere else to go.' Well, guess what? We have somewhere else to go. At long last, we have a home of our own,"

"Even if his veto of the (loan) guarantees is overridden, he will have won high marks for his courage, and exposed congress for what it has become, a Parliament of Whores incapable of standing up for U.S. national interests, if AIPAC is on the other end of the line."

"Globalization is the economic treason that dare not speak its name."

"Governor Ventura, if he got into the race, would be a formidable candidate for that nomination. But if I get into the race for the Reform Party nomination, you've got to put somebody up there to beat me,"

"For the Left to concede that white anger is a legitimate response to racial injustices done to white people would be to concede that the Left is guilty of the very sin of which it accuses the right."

"Half a century on, the disaster is manifest. The robust and confident Church of 1958 no longer exists. Catholic colleges and universities remain Catholic in name only. Parochial schools and high schools are closing as rapidly as they opened in the 1950s. The numbers of nuns, priests and seminarians have fallen dramatically. Mass attendance is a third of what it was. From the former Speaker of the House to the Vice President, Catholic politicians openly support abortion on demand."

"Half a century after Martin Luther King envisioned a day when his children would be judged ?not by the color of their skin, but the content of their character,? journalists of color are demanding the hiring and promotion of journalists based on the color of their skin. Jim Crow is back. Only the color of the beneficiaries and the color of the victims has been reversed."

"Have declared war on human nature, and nature is exacting an awful retribution."

"Her qualifications for the Supreme Court are nonexistent."

"How can Notre Dame credibly teach that all innocent life is sacred, and then honor a president committed to ensuring that a woman?s right to end the life of her innocent child remains sacrosanct?"

"I am not sure the president of the United States wants to see Roe v. Wade overturned."

"High among the costs of immigration is the appearance among us of diseases that never before afflicted us and the sudden reappearance of contagious diseases that researchers and doctors had eradicated long ago. Malaria, polio, hepatitis, tuberculosis and such rarities of the Third World as dengue fever, Chagas' Disease and leprosy are surfacing here..."

"I cannot endorse the Republican nominee as of now. I cannot make that commitment because my party at the national level has become a Xerox copy, basically, of the Democratic Party... Face The Nation."

"I don?t think of you as an African!"

"Historians will look back in stupor at 20th and 21st century Americans who believed the magnificent republic they inherited would be enriched by bringing in scores of millions from the failed states of the Third World."

"I feel like I'm walking up and down the sidelines here and the Super Bowl is going on out there. I would like to get in the game."

"I should be included in the presidential debate because I'm the representative of a recognized party, one of three -- Republicans, Democrats and Reform... And the other two parties are engaged in a conspiracy basically to deny me access to the debate that's going on to decide the election and the presidency of the United States."

"I don't doubt a number of those ballots, of those votes that were cast for me, probably were intended for Vice President Gore."

"I know the power of the Israeli lobby and the other lobbies, but we need a foreign policy that puts our own country first."

"I think some of the rhetoric against the president was over the top."

"I think God made all people good. But if we had to take a million immigrants in, say Zulus, next year, or Englishmen, and put them in Virginia, which group would be easier to assimilate and would cause less problems for the people of Virginia?"

"I think that policy of imposing ruthless sanctions on the primary victims which are the old, the poor and the very young is an immoral policy and it shames us as a great nation and a great people,"

"I would like to see the nomination withdrawn. If I were in the Senate today I would vote against it. My guess is, she will not be confirmed, and she will be withdrawn."

"I think the problem is not with Senator Smith, who's a good man and fine senator. I think the problem might be right here in Washington with the Republican establishment."

"I'd tell them 'You stop persecuting Christians. You stop threatening my country or you guys have sold your last pair of chopsticks in any mall in the United States of America."

"I think you'll see, just by yourselves, taking a look at the energy and fire and the numbers here, this nomination belongs to us."

"If [Christopher] Dawson is correct, the drive to de-Christianize America, to purge Christianity from the public square, public schools and public life, will prove culturally and socially suicidal for the nation."

"Ideally, I would have hoped these people would have heard the fat lady singing and they would have realized the defeat for what it is."

"If [conservative political commentator Heather] Mac Donald's statistics are accurate, 49 of every 50 muggings and murders in New York are the work of minorities. That might explain why black folks have trouble getting a cab. Every New York cabby must know the odds, should he pick up a man of color at night."

"If I am elected America's trade and foreign policies will no longer be up for bid at White House coffees and foreign agents of influence will no longer be sleeping in the Lincoln Bedroom. They won't get past the police guards at the White House gate."

"If Iraq collapses in chaos and civil war, there will be a ferocious fight in this country over who misled us and who may have lied us, into war. Into the dock will go the neoconservatives whose class project this was."

"If a country forgets where it came from, how will its people know who they are?"

"If she had not been female and not been the president's friend, she would not have one chance in a thousand of being nominated to that court."

"If the success of the Bush presidency hinges on the outcome of the war in Iraq, that war is even more critical to the cabal that exploited 9/11 to maneuver us into it... All the neocon eggs are in the Baghdad basket."

"If proportional representation (in Ivy League admissions) is the name of the game, Christian and European Americans should get into the game, and demand their fair share of every pie: 75 percent, and no less."

"If the GOP wants to represent Middle America, it must address the concerns of Middle America. Among these is the deeply ingrained leftist and anti-Christian bias on elite campuses that are the breeding stables of future American leaders."

"If the Europeans want to intervene, that's their business. But if I were president, I would remove every United States soldier from the Balkan Peninsula."

"If war is the continuation of politics by other means, terrorism is the continuation of war by other means."

"I'm not sure the President wants to see Roe v. Wade overturned... wants to see the decision returned to the people of the United States."

"If we do not solve our civilizational crisis ? a disintegrating culture, dying populations, and invasions unresisted ? the children born in 2006 will witness in their lifetimes the death of the West. In our hearts we know what must be done. We must stop the invasion. But do our leaders have the vision and will to do it?"

"If you get into the debates in a free-wheeling forum with Mr. Gore -- who I think the country doesn't want but he's stronger than you think -- and Mr. Bush -- who is going to have a tough year -- and we're in three debates together, I think I can win the presidency."

"In 1960, the U.S. population was 89% white. By 1990, it was 76%. Today, it is under 70%. By 2050, white Americans, the most loyal voting bloc the Republican Party has, that provides 90% of all GOP votes, will be just another minority because of an immigration policy championed by Republicans. When John Stuart Mill called the Tories "the Stupid Party," he was not entirely wrong."

"In a startling development of history, Russia?s population has fallen from 148 million in 1991 to 140 million today and is projected to plunge to 116 million by 2050, a loss of 32 million Russians in six decades."

"In his litany of famous immigrants who have contributed mightily to America, JFK does not mention a single woman, African or Asian. All are males and all were from Europe, except one West Indian: Alexander Hamilton. And JFK assures the nation, "Immigrants would still be given tests for health, intelligence, morality and security."

"In half a lifetime, many Americans have seen their God dethroned, their heroes defiled, their culture polluted, their values assaulted, their country invaded, and themselves demonized as extremists and bigots for holding on to beliefs Americans have held for generations."

"In July 1944, at the Mount Washington Hotel in the resort town of Bretton Woods in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, John Maynard Keynes and Harry Dexter White created the New World Order."

"In El Plan de Aztlan, ?Aztlan belongs to those who plant the seeds, water the fields, and gather the crops and not to foreign Europeans. We do not recognize capricious frontiers on the bronze continent?"

"In going around the world searching for monsters to destroy, involving ourselves in all these places, and the war in Kosovo is a particular example. I thought it was an unconstitutional, undeclared war."

"In picking her, Bush ran from a fight. The conservative movement has been had - and not for the first time - by a President by the name of Bush."
