Pat buchanan's existential wasteland

so i was at the salvation army this weekend and i came across pat buchanan's 'the death of the west'. ive come to respect pat as a talking head on televison becuase at least he speaks from a place of conviction, and he calls bush on his bullshit, unlike say a sean hannity who claims to be conservative but backs republicans reagardless of the consevative practices. i would never put more money in pat's pocket, so buying the book secondhand for a 1.50 i felt less like a hypocrite. so whats my analysis of the book. ive only read 2 chapters so far '4 who made the revolution' and ' the coming migration'. so far i must say he's a better speaker, that is to say, talking head than he is a writer. he writes on the level of a junior college student regurgitating facts he may have come across in the library, but lacking the intellectual ability to synthesis in any meaningful creative capacity that might suggest originality. what struck me most is the idea of the Other and how conservatives deal with the Other in their beliefs, underlying suppostions. ive been trying, lately, to draft in my own mind the parameters that signify the difference in republicans and democrats, liberals and conservatives. reading pat's book, what little ive read so far, put things in perspective, for me at least. the difference between the two parties or what might constitute the / between the two opposing ideaologies is how they view the Other. it seems to me that conservatives take a paranoid, aggresive, hostile approach in their ideas pertaining to the Others, the-not-me, the-not-us. In their view the Other has attributes of the alien, infecting-encroaching-antagonistic character. the Other is to be feared and loathed. from the perspective of the republican-self the Other seeks to enslave and do harm to me. there's a definite sexual paranoia in the consevative frame of reference, the homos, the unwed mothers, the ethinics with their godless(that is to say non-chrstian) fornincating children. the Other is barbarian, less refined, they want to outbirth me and rob me of my fertility and [re]populate my neighborhood with black and brown and yellow skin children. the Other is alien to me, speaking a depraved language, laughing at the codes and customs of my fathers. conservatives dont want involvment or god forbid a helping-hand type relationship with the Other. i am not my brother's keeper, i am his opposition. very christian indeed Pat. where do these views originate? one could try to psychoanalyze Pat's stern, unforgiving father, or Pat's un-secured since of masculinity, his sense of impending doom coming from the more sexually potent invading savages spreading their sperm across the country like some savage, blood thirsty johnny appleseeds. but why bother. it is what it is. what can i say about conservatives after reading 2 chapters of pat's paranoid dissertation? the republicans are existentially barren in every way. i must read the whole book though. maybe it has a happy ending. one can hope. maybe in the end pat falls in love with a beautiful mexican woman; who teaches him how to loosen up and enjoy sexual pleasure, and stop worrying about the invading savages with their long spears coming to steal their land back. happy ending everyone.
