Disgusting . . .
But, awful as this atrocity was, native-born and homegrown terrorism is not the macro-threat to the continent.
That threat comes from a burgeoning Muslim presence in a Europe that has never known mass immigration, its failure to assimilate, its growing alienation, and its sometime sympathy for Islamic militants and terrorists.
Europe faces today an authentic and historic crisis.
With her native-born populations aging, shrinking and dying, Europe’s nations have not discovered how to maintain their prosperity without immigrants. Yet the immigrants who have come – from the Caribbean, Africa, the Middle East, South Asia – have been slow to learn the language and have failed to attain the educational and occupational levels of Europeans. And the welfare states of Europe are breaking under the burden.[...]
As for a climactic conflict between a once-Christian West and an Islamic world that is growing in numbers and advancing inexorably into Europe for the third time in 14 centuries, on this one, Breivik may be right.

In Pat Buchanan's world, the child slaughtering monster may have a point.
Delusional old bastard.
You know what? Fuck it, I'm just not watching MSNBC anymore until this crusty old psychopath is unemployed like the rest of us, and I'm going to write MSNBC and tell them exactly that.

This is sick, just sick, and bullshit that we shouldn't tolerate, not from Fox or MSNBC or anyone with a wide reach in the media. Pat Buchanan is a relic from the Nixon era of Republican corruption, why he is continued to be allowed to pollute our national discourse with his history of racist, stupid shit is beyond me, but to put it in simple enough terms I don't need MSNBC if this is what they are selling, and I will gladly tell MSNBC President Phil Griffin that myself. I encourage you to as well.
And, of course, my condolences to the nation of Norway and the victims and their loved ones.

1:37 PM PT: UPDATE: I'd like to just share some thoughts on the title of this diary.
Just to clarify, I'd like to say that the point I am making is that Pat Buchanan is creating a justification for Breivik's toxic anti islamic, anti marxist fears, and that his delusional murderous rage is considered to "might be right" in Pat Buchanan's view. I don't mean to say that Buchanan is saying that Breivik's actions were justified, but that his paranoid RW motivations were, and though it seems like we are getting too deep into the semantics on this, I thought I should make that point clear.
I'd say Pat isn't supporting terrorism by saying that what Breivik did was right, I'm saying Pat agrees that Breivik "might be right" about his delusional bigotry and hatred based on xenophobic RW propaganda of communistic islamic calipahates taking over Europe and multiculturalism destroying the purity of his nation. That is not saying Pat is glad to see people hurt, but it says that Pat can kind of understand the depraved paranoia of this guy, in a way that the rest of us cannot, because Pat is admitting that Breivik's bigoted paranoia "might be right".
It's fucking insane, justifying bigotry and xenophobia, and on that point I think Pat has pretty much stated that he thinks Breivik's motivation "might be right", which is deplorable.
