Osama's Echo Chamber.
What do the Archbishop of Canterbury, Patrick J. Buchanan and Osama bin Laden have in common? All three believe America is on a path to national suicide. Bin Laden, of course, is hoping to make it happen. America's existential crisis, says the leader of the Anglican Church, was caused not only by America's actions, but also by a misguided sense of its own mission, and scorned the "chosen myth of America, meaning that what happens in America is very much at the heart of God's purpose for humanity." For bin Laden, the destruction of the "chosen myth of America" is very much at the heart of God's purpose for humanity.
For Buchanan, in his latest book "Day of Reckoning," ideologically motivated hubris and greed "are tearing America apart." It's vintage Buchanan with no holds barred. The Drudge Report's sampling nuggets:
- "America is in an existential crisis from which the nation may not survive."
- "The U.S. Army is breaking and is too small to meet America's global commitments."
- "The dollar has sunk to historic lows and is being abandoned by foreign governments."
- "The greatest invasion in history, from the Third World, is swamping the ethno-cultural core of the country, leading to Balkanization and the loss of the southwest to Mexico."
- The culture is collapsing and the nation is being deconstructed along the lines of race and class.
