Asked, “What is an American?” many would answer, “An American is a citizen of the United States.”

Yet, at the First Continental Congress in 1774, 15 years before the U.S. became a nation of 13 states, Patrick Henry rose to proclaim that, “British oppression has effaced the boundaries of the several colonies; the distinctions between Virginians, Pennsylvanians, New Yorkers, and New Englanders are no more. I am not a Virginian, but an American.”

Henry was saying — more than a dozen years before our constitutional republic was established — that America already existed as a nation, and he was her loyal son.

In an 1815 letter to Thomas Jefferson, long after both men had served as president, John Adams wrote:

“As to the history of the Revolution, my Ideas may be peculiar, perhaps Singular. What do We mean by the Revolution? The War? That was no part of the Revolution. It was only an Effect and Consequence of it. The Revolution was in the Minds of the People, and this was effected, from 1760 to 1775, in the course of fifteen Years before a drop of blood was drawn at Lexington.”

Adams was saying that America was conceived and, as an embryonic nation, grew within the hearts of the peoples of the 13 colonies, two to three decades before the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia.

In short, our country came to be before our republic came to be, and long before what we today call “our democracy” came to be. A country is different from, and more than, the political system that it adopts.

France was France all through the Bourbon dynasty, the Revolution of 1789, the creation of the First Republic, the Reign of Terror, Napoleon’s First Empire and the restoration of the Bourbon monarchy — all the way to the creation of the Fifth Republic by President Charles de Gaulle.

And beneath the carapace of the USSR, the heart of Mother Russia continued to beat. Rightly, during the Cold War, we regarded Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria as “captive nations” and captive peoples.

The point: Neither the regime nor the political system imposed, nor some abstract idea, is the country that predates them and has first claim upon the loyalty of its sons and daughters.

In his famous toast, American naval hero Stephen Decatur declared: “Our country! … May she always be in the right; but our country, right or wrong!”

The crisis today for those who incessantly proclaim, “Our democracy is in danger,” is that millions of patriots are coming to see our incumbent regime, “our democracy,” as faithless and failing in its foremost duty — to protect and defend our country and countrymen from enemies foreign and domestic.

Forced constantly by the establishment to choose between them, patriotic Americans may one day come to choose, as did their fathers, the country they love over the crown that rules them.

Consider.

The Biden regime that currently rules us has allowed 3 million migrants to invade our country in two years. These illegals continue to break our laws and cross our border at a rate of 250,000 a month.

ORDER IT NOW

Among them are terrorists, robbers, rapists, murderers, cartelists and child molesters. The Biden regime has abdicated its duty to halt the invasion that is changing the ethnic, racial, religious, social and political character and composition of our American family without the consent of the American people, into whose national home these intruders are breaking with impunity.

President Joe Biden is assuring that the future of the nation will be determined by millions of people who have in common only that they broke our laws to get into our country. Vice President Kamala Harris smugly dismisses demands to address the crisis by saying America’s southern border is “secure.”

With this invasion has come a flood of the narcotic fentanyl, which last year took the lives of 100,000 Americans, a number equal to all the U.S. war dead in years of fighting in Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq.

Under the Biden party’s policy of softness on crime and indulgence of the criminal class, assaults, robberies, carjackings and “mass shootings,” where four victims are killed or wounded in each episode, have surged in U.S. cities.

With America’s currency and economy in his custody, Biden has, in 18 months, run up inflation, that cancer of America’s currency, to 8%, run up the national debt to where it far exceeds the gross national product, and crashed the stock market, wiping out trillions in wealth.

“The pandemic is over,” Biden told “60 Minutes” in September, a month when more than 400 Americans were dying of COVID-19 every day, a death rate higher than World War II and equal to the bloodiest war in U.S. history, the Civil War of 1861-1865.

The custodians of “our democracy” are failing in the most fundamental of duties of any political system — to protect and defend the people. No failed regime can justify its permanence by claiming some inherent superiority.

  1. Who made these refugees at your Southern border?

    The USA. USA sponsored regime changes in all Central American countries and South American countries Chile-Bolivia- and in Caribbean. Likewise USA made refugees of the citizens of Iraq ( Collin Powell holding his test tube at UN) Afghanistan ( we are coming to build it but 20 years later and 3 trillion spent –the Taliban return) Libya ( it had the highest standard of living in Africa but Hillary –“we came — we saw–he died !! ( HA HA HA HA -Jesus ( the blue eyed one) Christ this was funny ——and Yemen —

    All these refugees were made by USA Pat ——Buchanan —-take your Sunday communion and I will take my popcorn communion at home “Pop it with your holy heat –Make it good enough to eat!” and admiring “Our Lady of the Immaculate Contraption.

  2. “The custodians of “our democracy” are failing in the most fundamental of duties of any political system — to protect and defend the people.”
    That’s really ideal, Pat. It warms the heart to think of such a government that identifies with such “duties”.
    Sadly, US elites look upon their “citizens” as Imperial subjects, objects to be exploited, subdued &
    forgotten.
    Rarely has history exposed a ruling class that so hates & despises it’s own people.

    The military should have staged a coup after JFK’s assassination. Punished the evildoers and re-established democracy (even more so after mlk’s and rfk’s murders). Again after the 2000 stolen election. Again, after the 9/11 false flag and deep state takeover. Now the globalist traitor government wants to render us a failed state. Plus covid/the vaxx is an attack on humanity.

    This is not godawful! At least it acknowledges the distinction between nation and state. That’s crucial now, since the state has forfeited its sovereignty by committing the gravest crimes, and the nation must demolish and replace it.

    However. America is a ridiculous abstraction. If you’re going to fixate on an abstraction, why don’t you fixate on a well-defined one, like transuent causation or the square root of negative one? America is nothing more than a verbal operant-conditioning cue that causes you to make a face, a fatuous patriotic face, and stop thinking.

    If you’re going to insist on a unifying property for the population of CONUS, you should knock it off with the meaningless Disney audio-animatronics. The common heritage of the CONUS population is continuity of obligations. Period. If the peoples of CONUS want to rejoin the civilzed world, they have to set up a system that respects, protects, and fulfills human rights. All of them. That’s what we committed to. You can’t ignore it, you can’t blow it off. You can make a little snitty face, if that makes you feel better, but that will not affect what we’ll ultimately do.

    What happened is, your fantasy America is gone. CIA took over and created a totalitarian state based on impunity. Meanwhile the world chose rule of law. CIA fought that but now the world is fed up and they’re going to nuke Langley and all their flunkies, unless we hang them first. Then you’ll get your rights back. You better bone up so you understand what’s going on.

    Who are migrants…always a low echelon segment in the country of origin. Who cannot make it in their god forsaken societies. Even U.S. have millions of prospective army of migrants who stay because there are no green pasture destinations for them. The Washington ignoramuses policy to enlarge our own prospective migrant army is for one reason, they can vote for the fake Samaritan in the WH.

  11. This nation was not founded as a Democracy. The Framers understood that a Democracy destroys the peace and liberty of a nation since anything goes when a tyranny can be imposed by a majority on a minority and that power has no limits.

    Instead they attempted to bind the government to operate under a limited set of powers defined in a Constitution. Benjamin Franklin was asked a question about what kind of government had been founded as he exited Independence Hall after the Constitutional Convention in 1787. Franklin supposedly replied, “A republic, if you can keep it.”

    Democracy has not failed our country. We, the people, have failed our country by allowing our government to grow grotesquely into an unbounded monster we call a Democracy.

  12. Angharad says:

    “Our Democracy” mean “Jewish tyranny and looting operation”.

    There IS no United States of America. There is a land mass of confused, ill and miseducated, TERRORIZED people, abused, looted, and murdered by the GANGSTERS, thugs, and psychos that have their claws on the levers of power.

  13. Non-whites vote for the Democrats. Which is why they like them as new arrivals. They also dilute the traditional American population which is why Jews like them.

    If the Biden administration orders US military personnel to go to the Middle East, at this point should they refuse to obey the order? Israel is the jewel in the Crown. Refusing to obey deployment would be a direct act of disobedience against the Crown and expression of love for the country.

  15. Which bloody democracy would that be? The one in Washington where the regime is unresponsive to the demands of the electorate, consistently fails to put their needs above the special interest lobbies? Or the one that justifies repression by claiming that the greatest “threats to our freedom” come from our fellow citizens? How about the one that is angling to start World War III for no better reason than it had to prolong World War I and provoke World War II?

    We are approaching another flash point in history where we can no longer pretend that the government we inherited is working or is worth preserving. As Lincoln said in his time, we cannot go forward as half of one thing and half of the other: we must become all of one or the other. “A great national trial must be met and passed” is how he described the war that the traitors of his day long plotted to wage against democracy, should they be voted out of control of the national government. They failed but now their ideological descendants are poised to win, and maybe living under a Christian neofascist tyranny is the karma we have earned for our complicity-by-silence with decades of our government’s relentless, murderous war against humanity.

    And the selective reminiscences about colonial America ignore the reality that the Revolution was as much a civil war among rival factions as a challenge to London’s authority. Puritan Massachusetts and Cavalier Virginia nursed a deep hatred that went back to the English Civil War, while Quakers and Scotch-Irish had remarkable contrasting views of what defined “liberty” in the New World. What tied them together was the work of tireless rebel propagandists, spinning the myth of British tyranny to cover their fury at the vigorous crackdown on flagrant colonial lawlessness and losing their decades-long tax exemptions.

  16. Anon[174] •�Disclaimer says:

    The Americas are now different from the USA

  17. The COVID-19 pandemic – and now the war – are both the smokescreens and the bludgeons being wielded by the WEF in order to execute a blanket world-wide coup, and the tactics they are using to achieve this come right out of Yuri Bezmenov’s USSR empire building playbook. Unfortunately for us, the WEF’s goal is not to spread the dubious benefits of communism, but rather totalitarianism and global enslavement.

    Ultimately, the story of the COVID tyranny and now the Ukraine war is the story of betrayal and treason from within—a fatal condition that a nation cannot endure for long, which is why countries are falling into ruin en masse.

  18. ^Excellent article on the treason that is destroying the world, thanks mate!

  19. @SolarTermination

    Poor Pat can’t seem to write an entire article without going hysterical over Covid.

    “400 Americans dying OF Covid-19 every day, a death rate higher than WW2.” These people, assuming there are that many (who can trust the numbers?), may possibly have died WITH Covid. They didn’t all die FROM Covid. Many just died of old age, though the cause of death on their death certificate may be listed as Covid (admitted to by Dr. Birx).

    Additionally, Pat didn’t mention the many dying FROM the vaxx, a number hidden by the authorities, but possibly significantly higher than the number dying from Covid. I wonder if Pat is double-boosted and still wears a mask every time he leaves home?

  20. @follyofwar

    Here as elsewhere, Pat Buchanan’s embrace of the Faucian orthodoxy is indeed lamentable; on that point I quite agree with you. Still, anent the covid hoax, I think that Buchanan is far less worrisome than Ron Unz is. It is sad that Buchanan goes along with the consensus of lies and liars—he has been around the ruling-class swine long enough to know that even the ones who aren’t Jews are vicious, deceitful, self-interested bastards—but Unz isn’t simply going along with the consensus: he is an important contributor to the consensus’s formation and minute-by-minute adaptation.

    Unz’s latest dead horse, Who Is Really Responsible for Creating the COVID Virus?, has succeeded in distracting the bulk of his lockstep followers from even considering the evidentiary claims of those who warn that the phony vaccines might be killing a great many more men and women than have been killed by the virus. Nor does he even acknowledge the existence of the FLCCC and the thousands of physicians worldwide who have treated patients successfully with a combination of minerals, supplements, and drugs that have been declared safe and effective by people who aren’t profiting obscenely from their manufacture and sale.

    As for the remainder of the article, the sneerers who congratulate themselves on being younger and hipper than Buchanan are behaving as predictably as ever. Unlike my opinions or those of the sneerers, Buchanan’s opinions have a measurable effect on a sizable number of people. Like it or not, the fact that he has taken the gloves off with regard to the criminal deception that underlies the moral preening inherent in the term democracy will shake up more orthodox assumptions than a thousand snarky comments at the Unz Review.

    Also, how many died because hospitals killed them by putting them on ventilators and giving them Remdesivir? Then they collected the money from the feds for the killing.

    Buchanan’s opinions have a measurable effect on a sizable number of people. Like it or not, the fact that he has taken the gloves off with regard to the criminal deception that underlies the moral preening inherent in the term democracy

    I agree, only more so with the term “our”.

    One of the main (and valid) criticisms of Pat Buchanan has been his irritating use of pronouns that imply that America’s serial wars or destabilizations or economic terrorism is something “we” Americans are doing. When most of us, consider these as the acts of a cabal of criminals and assassins who, since their bloody coup in 1963, have taken the levers of power from the people of the U.S., and that since then, what ‘America’ does is generally in direct odds with what the American people want. So that when Buchanan writes about our foreign policy or our response to Covid, or a thousand other atrocities and crimes, and then uses a pronoun like ‘we’ or ‘our’ to describe it, it grinds. ‘We’ sent 60 billion to Zelinsky. ‘Our’ use of Shock and Awe. ‘We’ bombed Libya, Blah, blah, blah..

    But finally, finally he put it in quotes. I guess “Our democracy” was just too much for even the pronoun king to take anymore.

    The custodians of “our democracy” are failing in the most fundamental of duties of any political system — to protect and defend the people. No failed regime can justify its permanence by claiming some inherent superiority.

    and, did I hear it ever so faintly?

    ‘inherent superiority’

    who could that be?

    and both in the same sentence. “Our democracy” and the regime of ‘inherent superiority’ poseurs, ((assassins, thieves, terrorists and gangsters)).

    Even Buchanan, the last of the hardcore, old school, ‘our country’ platitudes and nostalgia, could no longer abide calling the Z.U.S. of A., his country anymore.

    Even he, sees now that it is dead. Murdered by the usual suspects, with the eager and enthusiastic collaboration of the corrupt den of snakes that is DC. Buchanan’s back yard.

    Still, I confess I enjoy reading Pat’s wistful sentimentality for the days of Patrick Henry and T Jefferson and the America of old. I too, as the youngest of the boomer generation, knew for a while that America he speaks of. Shotguns and hunting rifles on the rack of your back window in the old pickup truck. Treating young women with the kind of respect (and even reverence) that young women deserved back then, when they were glad to be girls and young ladies, and acted like it. Not a femNazi skank in sight back then. Let alone transgender freaks everywhere you look.

    And except for a few hidden hamlets in the boondocks of America, that is all gone now. Murdered by those with ‘inherent superiority’. Yes, a nest of termites can take down the most beautiful cathedrals, once the infestation becomes malignant, but I wouldn’t say the termites had ‘inherent superiority’ for their catastrophic destructiveness. Any more than cancer is inherently superior to the lives it destroys.

    I agree with you, that it does seem that Pat has ‘taken the gloves off’.

    For the Pat Buchanan of old, it was always on about our country. Our America and our democracy.

    As grating as it always was to read that, having seen what ((they’ve)) done to ‘our democracy’ in the last few decades. Now, it is clearly, obviously, painfully ‘in your face’, that this is no longer our democracy, but rather a festering shithole of iniquitous wars and crony capitalism and corruption as far as the eye can see. Celebrating sodomy as America’s forced piety.

    Thank you very much for drawing my attention to important implications in the article that I overlooked.

    What seems to be PB’s first-time-ever abstention from our-ness is indeed noteworthy. Although it comes late in the day—that is to say, late in Pat’s day—it marks a critical revision of attitude, one from which, I would think, there is no going back.

    When I was a little boy, I frequently heard my father refer to New York City, where he and I were both born and grew old, as Sodom-on-the-Hudson. As he was born in 1909, I suspect that the expression must have originated almost a hundred years ago, if not earlier. Now, as you say, sodomy and the places where it finds a friendly reception are no longer things that one is permitted to show scorn or contempt for or even jest about. Now (((those we serve))) have declared sodomy one of “our” core values, and so to it all knees must bend.

    I know what you mean Pierre, even if there are many of us out there who yet mock and jest, chuckling as I did at the news that some homo movie just flopped at the box-office, to the howls of homos everywhere that ‘America is still ‘homophobic!’. As if the natural disgust all normal people feel at the sight of homos carrying on is somehow a mental affliction. (I don’t hate fags, I consider them tragically cursed, but neither do I want them in the elementary schools grooming children. I think people who advocate that should be dragged out and shot as dangerous scum).

    It’s all the exact same stuff they were doing in Wiemar, Germany. Pushing homosexuality, abusing the children, killing the middle class and waging a war on the German people from their own government. Much, as they’re doing today in Germany, as they cower to ZOG, and prepare for Germany and Europe to freeze, in fealty to ZOG.

    Pat’s day—it marks a critical revision of attitude, one from which, I would think, there is no going back.

    It will be interesting to see. As you point out, Pat Buchanan still has influence. He may be piling on the rhetoric rather thick, because of ‘the most important election ever’ looms. And for him to forgo America all together, might be a bridge too far for Pat. I myself still cling, (pathetically) to some small hope for The Great Separation. When sane and decent and conservative Americans will vote with their feet, and coalesce to Red States.

    In fact, I just saw something very interesting in the news vis-a-vis Florida and the hurricane aftermath, with governor DeSantis speaking to would-be looters, telling them that he is personally giving the law abiding citizens the go ahead to ventilate looters on the spot.

    DeSantis said at a news conference in St. Augustine on Friday.

    “Don’t even think about looting. Don’t even think about taking advantage of people in this vulnerable situation,” he added. “I can tell you, in the state of Florida, you never know what may be lurking behind somebody’s home. And I would not want to chance that, if I were you, given that we’re a Second Amendment state.”

    [my emphasis]

    That is exactly the kind of thing that will make shitlibs and their pets think twice before moving there. Where they also have ‘Stand your Ground’ laws, that allow for law-abiding citizens to deal effectively and permanently with assorted thugs and orcs. In fact, it was the Obama regime’s hostility to that Florida law that motivated the whole Travon idiocy. They wanted to get that law tossed out. Too many orcs (Travon) were being dealt with properly.

    These are the kinds of trends that need to coalesce into a wider movement, (literally) of sane people moving to Red States, and shitlibs and orcs and trannies and immigrants and feminists and BLM and La Raza can all create their utopians, (like San Fransisco, from what I hear), in the Blue States.

    At least, that’s my hope. So you see, I too cling pitifully to some shred of hope, however ephemeral or desperate, that it not all die. At least Wiemar, Germany pulled itself up from its bootstraps.
