Distinctions
Buchanan's latest polemic exposes the risks America faces today and what those dangers will mean for the country's future. He warns against not only the dangers that the country faces under Obama, but also the risk of sliding into irrelevancy that the Republican party faces if it chooses to forget its core values.

It quickly becomes clear that Pat Buchanan isn't for affirmative action in this Country, and tells you why. And he certainly isn't for free markets, and he tells you why. And he certainly isn't for immigration, and he tells you why.
In Buchanan's view, the more ethnically and religously similar a society is, the better off that society is. He makes the point that treating all "equally", in the Jeffersonian sense of "all men are created equal", is both impossible and wrong. To treat all equally, he explains, means a loss of liberty for society.
Buchanan ends with some recommendations for the Country, including ending free markets and imposing tariffs on foreign goods. Free market economists of today will explain in detail why those tariffs Buchanan would like, in order to bolster domestic manufacturing, are a bad and impractical idea. But without letting economic theories get in the way, Buchanan tells us, from his perspective, why this is one of the steps the Country should take to return prosperity to America.
Some people will agree with everything Buchanan offers, others may agree with only a few of the things he discusses, but all will have a clear understanding of his beliefs and outlook on the Country by the time you finish the book. ( )
