Pat Buchanan is right!

I don't always agree with Pat Buchanan, but his new book, "Suicide of a Superpower," is 100 percent spot on.

It should be the wake-up call Americans need to understand that the nation and civilization they have lived in all their lives is rapidly crumbling and simply won't be there for their children and grandchildren unless measures are taken immediately to reverse the destructive trends.

Of course, Buchanan is being pilloried in the media for stating the obvious.

He's being called all the names you would expect him to be called from clueless people and by those who actively seek the end of America as we have known it.

But Buchanan is not the bigot or racist his detractors contend he is.

In fact, Buchanan writes as dispassionately as one can about the cultural suicide of a country he truly loves.

It's a simple case of arithmetic. When he says Americans of European descent are not procreating at levels that reach even population replacement levels, he is not suggesting that whites are the only people capable of self-government. As a descendant primarily of non-European stock, I applaud him for saying it so boldly.

It really doesn't matter what race you are or what your national identity is. What matters is the cultural adaption immigrants make once they arrive. In America in the 21st century, we make it far too easy for immigrants not to assimilate, taking on the values and language of what has been a common and uniquely American culture for most of our history.

He also rightly points out that the America of tomorrow, demographically speaking, will closely resemble today's California. Having lived in California for 25 years before fleeing, I can tell you that is a very scary thought.

California is a basket case. There the population has figured out that they can vote themselves benefits and sustenance and all kinds of goodies without any personal consequences – because only a tiny minority of Californians, as well as other Americans, are responsible for picking up the costs.

Can you imagine what America will be like when its demographics more closely resemble today's California?

The Republican Party may be looking forward to the 2012 election because Americans are rightly waking up to the misery inflicted by Barack Obama and his Democratic Party allies over the last three years. But, as Buchanan points out, there likely won't be even the tepid alternative Republicanism represents today in a country with vastly different demographics.

Look at California. Do you think the Republican Party is even a factor in its politics today?

So what are the answers?

What if we all woke up tomorrow to the plight we're in and decided we had to save the nation from falling?

What steps would we have to take to survive?

• Abortion: After activists on the U.S. Supreme Court forced virtually unrestricted abortion on demand upon Americans in 1973, it was sold as "freedom." No longer would adults have to concern themselves with child-rearing responsibilities. They could have it all – live selfishly and without the cares of parenting. We'd all get to do our own thing. But, besides the human toll in tens of millions of innocent lives snuffed out, and besides the emotional toll abortion inflicts on women, now there is a new concern – the very survival of the nation and all it represents in the world. It turns out abortion didn't bring freedom at all. It brought death not only to unborn babies, but it has brought the nation's heritage of liberty to the brink of death, too.

• Immigration: The U.S. is the only nation in the world that effectively has an open-borders policy. We don't call it that, of course, but that's what it is. And it needs to come to an end, just as many European nations have learned too late. America can't afford not to be more selective about who it lets in the door. And it needs to be much less selective about who it throws out. It's not about racism. It's not about bigotry. It's about the future of America.

• Assimilation and education: Those who America chooses to let in the door need to immerse themselves in the English language and American culture as quickly as they can or be prepared for a short visit. And America needs to get its school system out of the hands of the National Education Association union thugs who have far too much power in local, state and national education policy, and back into the hands of parents.
All of this is much easier said than done – which is why Pat Buchanan is so eerily pessimistic these days.
