welcome to the invasion, pat

Pat Buchanan, quite possibly America's official asshead racist, appeared the other day on Fox News' Hannity & Colmes to discuss his new book, in which he writes that America is "on a path to national suicide." Suicide? How so, Pat? Do tell.

He writes, "Every way a nation can... "[t]he American majority is not reproducing itself... Forty-five million of its young have been destroyed in the womb since Roe v. Wade, as Asian, African, and Latin American children come to inherit the estate the lost generation of American children never got to see." From the book:
Truly, America faces an existential crisis. Are the racial, political, social, and cultural forces pulling us apart overwhelming the forces holding us together?

It is the belief of the author and premise of this book that America is indeed coming apart, decomposing, and that the likelihood of her survival as one nation through midcentury is improbable -- and impossible if America continues on her current course. For we are on a path to national suicide.

[...]

How is America committing suicide? Every way a nation can. The American majority is not reproducing itself. Its birthrate has been below replacement level for decades. Forty-five million of its young have been destroyed in the womb since Roe v. Wade, as Asian, African, and Latin American children come to inherit the estate the lost generation of American children never got to see."

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, from 2005 to 2006, our minority population rose 2.4 million to exceed 100 million. Hispanics, 1 percent of the U.S. population in 1950, are now 14.4 percent. Since 2000, their numbers have soured 25 percent to 45 million. The U.S. Asian population grew by 24 percent since 2000, as the number of white kids of school age fell 4 percent. Half the children five and younger today are minority children.
Ah, I see. So us Asian, African, and Latin American children don't really count as true American children. In fact, all we're here doing in the United States is taking the so-called inheritance of aborted American babies. "American" meaning white, I suppose. You've got to be kidding me, Pat. That's racist! Media Matters has full coverage (including video): Buchanan: "America [is] committing suicide" while "Asian, African, and Latin American children come to inherit the estate". Just another attempt to stir up his special brand of xenophobic hysteria. And unfortunately, it's probably working among some folks out there. So everyone, please join with me in the "invasion," as we assist with our nation's "suicide." We're taking over, Pat! Muhahahahahahahah.
