No culture has stayed the same.

3. It was never a melting pot -- better to call it a quilt, a crazy quilt of humanity. . .

made of many colors, shapes, sizes, and orientations. That's how Jacob Riis described it at the dawn of the 20th century. A crazy quilt of humanity, all tightly bound by the land in which we choose to live. He also said we needed to look after each other, that the quilt wouldn't lose its stitching if we cared for one another, and in the caring we'd be certain to keep the individual character of the many disparate parts that together make our crazy quilt.

I wonder if someone like Buchanan will ever understand or appreciate that simple analogy, or if he'll forever chase a muddle of melted men, seeking "freedom" in the willful discarding of individuality and differentiation.

4. Buchanan speaks of Bush in the White House and the candidates.

This is old -- out of date. Everything has changed since this interview. Some of the problems that Buchanan talks about remain, but the context of the country is very different. Why was this posted? Doesn't seem very relevant to me.

5. So many things wrong with Pat. Is he lying or just stupid?

" Smaller army than 1939 "

Oh my god! Oh my god! and people listen to this shit.

By the way Pat, YOU are CORPORATE America. How have you been serving my interests in Africa? Corporate scumbag hiding behind Jesus - that might fool home educated suckers, but not self-educated citizens...
