Product Description:
While free enterprise is good, the worship of 'free trade' is de-industrializing America, killing the middle class, and imperiling U.S. economic independence. While America must stand for freedom, liberty and self-determination, the use of U.S. troops to police the planet or serve as advance guard is imperial folly that will bring down the republic. While America should speak out for human rights, the idea that we get in Russia's face and hand out moral report cards to every nation on earth is moral arrogance. While we have benefited from immigration, the idea we can import limitless numbers of aliens and remain anything like a real country is absurd. To save America the first imperative is to remove from power the ideologues of both parties who have nearly killed the country.

Outstanding book. Buchanan lays out the road our nation has traveled on and where this road leads us, and it isn't a pretty picture. Disturbing and sobering, this book is a wake-up call to Americans to realize the disastrous route our country is taking. Not a particularly pleasant read, but a necessary one.

This Book is eye opening and Pat Buchanen done a good job in laying out the history. Unfortunatly, most people donot like to hear these things
and go into a closet to hide.

Review of "Day of Reckoning: How Hubris, Ideology, and Greed Are Tearing America Apart."
America is coming apart at the seams. Forces foreign and domestic seek an end to U.S. sovereignty and independence. Before us looms the prospect of an America breaking up along the lines of race, ethnicity, class and culture. In Day of Reckoning, Pat Buchanan reveals the true existential crisis of the nation and shows how President Bush's post-9/11 conversion to an ideology of "democratism" led us to the precipice of strategic disaster abroad and savage division at home.
Ideology, writes Buchanan, is a Golden Calf, a false god, a secular religion that seeks vainly, like Marxism, to create a paradise on earth.
While free enterprise is good, the worship of a "free trade" that is destroying the dollar, de-industrializing America, and ending our economic independence, is cult madness. While America must stand for freedom and self-determination, the use of U.S. troops to police the planet or serve as advance guard of some "world democratic revolution" is, as Iraq shows, imperial folly that will bring ruin to the republic.
While America should speak out for human rights, the idea that we get in Russia's face and hand out moral report cards to every nation on earth is moral arrogance. While we have benefited from immigration and the melting pot worked with millions of Europeans, the idea we can import endless millions of aliens, legal and ... Read More

This book defines what has happened to our country, and what needs to be done to correct it. MR Buchanan hits the nail on the head with "Day of Reckoning"
Rating: -
Pat Buchanan has condensed United States history and our economy from World War II to the present time, used language we all understand, opened our eyes and cleared our minds to allow for reality to set in.
It is a make sense book. Mr. Buchanan has used his years in politics and studying American history to wake up the reader. Do you know why the U.S. has become the policeman of the world? Do you know why our one time national industries are now owned by foreign concerns? Do you know how and why our country has been falling apart for years since WWII?
If you know these answers, buy the book anyway. You will still learn something new. If you don't know the answers, buy the book. You will understand how un-united we have been as a result of greed and the superman attitude we have taken over the years. The American public has been told for decades by politicians that we are following a path for the betterment of our lives and the world. Wow, have we been duped.
The book is a good read for one that deals with history and the economy.
