Pat Buchanan's latest polemic—and his first since Obama's election—exposes the risks America faces today and what those dangers will mean for the country's future
Since Obama took office, conservative pundits have been mainstays on the bestseller list. And now, the bestselling author and political legend Pat Buchanan weighs in with a warning against not only the dangers that the country faces under Obama, but the risk of sliding into irrelevancy that the Republican party faces if it chooses to forget its core values.
As he shows in Suicide of a Superpower, liberal policy-making and unhindered globalization have eroded America's economic strength. Changing demographics and declining faith portend a future in which the Republican Party and Christianity will become irrelevant. If things continue unchanged, Buchanan warns, in a few short decades our country will be unrecognizable.
But, there are alternatives. And Buchanan finds signs of hope for conservatives and outlines plans for a very different future that the newly ascendant Republicans and Tea Partiers can use in Congress and nationwide.
A major force in conservative opinion and a longtime political commentator, Buchanan's strident and impassioned argument against the direction in which America is heading will find an eager audience in today's high-pressure political climate.

      In this riveting take on Americaâs downfall, Buchananâs (The Death of the West) candid narrative explains how liberal social trends promoting equality will ultimately destroy the country through unfair social mandates. Formed by shared Christian morals and values, Americaâs greatness is the ability to bind people together in common purpose, he says, but a rising hedonistic popular culture that assails Christianity is fracturing these essential social bonds. âIf we no longer agree on what is right and wrong, we can never be one people again,â he argues. Buchanan lashes out at leftist ideologues who have distorted the historical precedence of âequalityâ in America while seeking to establish an egalitarian society, which violates the precepts of natural law and personal liberty. He claims that egalitarianism is not rooted in our history, and recent events show a triumphant rise in tribalism and ethnonationalism throughout the world, a trend America must assimilate by preserving its traditions and Christian heritage. Progressives may recoil at these assertions as well as his positions on immigration, affirmative action and morality, though they may share his sentiments regarding war and Americaâs unnecessary military presence around the world. Not to disappoint his loyal followers, Buchanan reveals the essence of conservative thought and its origins with clarity and precision. (Oct.) Agency: Fredrica S. Friedman & Co., Inc.
