How the West Could Lose

Submitted by Old Atlantic, Dec 26, 2006 10:57

In the 1992 election, Begala and the Clinton team called Pat Buchanan a bigot to want to stop immigration. Then in Feb 1993, the first WTC attack came. At that point, they should have admitted their error and stopped immigration. Instead of telling the truth, like Pipes and a few others were about the threat, they let in the 19 immigrants who attacked WTC again and the Pentagon.

On 9-11, Peter Jennings and the MSM and Norman Mineta realized that they had done this. Rather than admit their error, they pre-emptively attacked Pat Buchanan, the families, the people still dying, and their potential champions as bigots if they brought up this history.

Bush joined that in his "religion of peace" speech. We now know that Bush had in fact had a specific warning on Aug 6, 2001 in his PDB reflecting prior warnings. He ignored those. As did others at top positions in their administration. They are supposed to protect us, not call those who do or try, bigots. That was happening from Feb 1993 to Sep 2001. That is going on from Sep 2001 to the present.

The 9-11 Commission did the same. They were big pushers of the immigration that after WTC 1993 attack and the Pat is a bigot ply of 1992, (and thus Republicans and immigration restrictions are).

Now they are attacking Virgil Goode just as they attacked Pat. Paul Begala called Virgil Goode a bigot on CNN with Bay Buchnan. (For link to transcript go here.) Then she was forced to do a ritual denunciation of Virgil Goode. Begala planned that in advance. He was making Pat's sister, Bay, in effect ritually denounce her own brother.

Begala should have apologized to Bay Buchanan and Pat and the 9-11 Families. Instead he planned in advance this ploy to cover up his past responsibility. This is what the MSM did on 9-11 on TV as the smoke went up to heaven from a funeral pyre they had created to cover up their prior errors.


Where does the bigotry start in the following sequence:

Make Pakistan give up its nuclear weapons.

Don't let Iran have them, even if it takes a ground invasion now, and it does.

Don't let Muslims in Russia have control of Russian bombers or missile silos with nukes, or subs. (Russia will be 50 percent Muslim in less than 50 years.)

Don't let Muslims in the UK have control of UK bombers or missile silos with nukes, or subs.

Don't let Muslims in France have control of French bombers or missile silos with nukes, or subs.

Don't let Muslims in the US have control of US bombers or missile silos with nukes, or subs.

Where does the obviousness stop and the bigotry begin?

What would we do if a US B2 Bomber crew of Muslims nuked our major cities? Nothing? Praise Islam?

We could have Begala back on CNN with Bay Buchanan, and he could call Goode a bigot and make Bay criticize Goode. That apparently is what we have adopted as our national "strategy", self-indulgent self destruction.
