Buchanan’s friends

According to Pat Buchanan’s Jan. 24 opinion piece, Diversity in Western nations might mean national suicide, South Florida must be a prime example of the evil influence that is hastening the United States toward a “national suicide.”

Are we not the very embodiment of the multiracial, multiethnic, multicultural and multilingual society that frightens him so much? It is telling that his column includes a quote by his late friend and “proud son of the South” Sam Francis, a virulent racist who, in an article in the American Renaissance magazine, advocated “imposing adequate fertility controls on non-whites.” One can certainly judge Buchanan by the company he keeps.
