From that first line, I thought you were writing a poem.

Sounds like Pitchfork Pat's comments about the Hamas give credibility to the fact that he is in fact in an anit-Semite. He sounds a lot like many of the racists I've debated that sympathize with the Islamic facists.
The Islamofascists of Al Qaeda and other such organizations.
What language do they speak, predominantly?
Arabic, and Farsi.
What region of the world do they hail from?
They hail from the Middle East, of course, as do many other people.
What God/prophet do they venerate?
Allah, the god of Islam. Again, as do many other people.
Now, let's answer these same questions from the perspective of 1941-45: Care to enumerate which terrorists we're currently at war with?
Terrorist regimes in Germany, Italy, Japan.
What language do they speak, predominantly?
German, Italian, Japanese.
What region of the world do they hail from?
Europe.
What God/prophet do they venerate?
The God of Christianity, and the God of Buddhism.
Now, to assert even back then that all European Christians who spoke German or Italian were teh enemy, or that all atheists were the enemy, as they were atheist staes (at least Germany was) while maintaining the veneer of religion, would have been patently absurd on the face of it. Yet you use exactly the same criteria to insist that we're at war with all of Islam and not just with the Islamofascists.
Liberals hate conservatives who agree with tehm even more than they hate conservatives who disagree. The reason is that liberals view conservatives as evil; therefore, we have no right to agree with them. Remember how liberals went after Pat for opposing Desert Storm? They were more upset by his views than by those of the people who supported it. Why is that?
Well, he seems very willing to excuse violatiuons of conservative principles when Republicans do it. He's become more of a Republican apologist over the years and that has diminished a bit his status as a conservative spokesman.
Just a question: how often do you listen to his show? I'm not seeing how your description matches up with how he's conducted himself and the show. Whether or not he's not quite the conservative spokesman he was a few years ago has more to do with the amount of conservative radio shows available, rather than anything he may or may not have done.
Limbaugh is not a psuedo-conservative.
The animating philosophy-I wouldn't describe it as a religion-Third Reich was an odd admixture of distorted Norse mythology, neo-pagan mysticism, and white-gentile supremacy.
The Nazis abhorred Christianity, and ruthlessly persecuted its practitioners, they did not embrace it.
As for the third main spoke of the Axis powers, Mussolini's Italy, it was predominantly Roman Catholic.
It was also the country where the fewest Jews were sent off to Nazi death camps-prior to its military occupation by the Wehrmacht-where the resistance to Nazi aggression from dissidents was strongest, and it would ultimately weigh in on the side of the Allies once Mussolini was deposed.
Christianity and Islam are in no way analogous.
The Grand Mufti of Jerusalem-the apex of Sunni Islam-not only endorsed the Final Solution, he actively participated in the deportation and extermination of hundreds of thousands of Jews, the commission of an SS Division-comprised primarily of Muslims-that would go on to liquidate Jewish villages, and had the entire Islamic world-without exception-on his side.
The Christian corollary to Mr. Husseini-Pope Pius-despite the post-modern calumnies leveled against him, stood up to Nazi aggression, denounced Nazi atrocities, and stood as the savior of thousands of Jewish lives that would have otherwise been extinguished by the German war machine.
Today there are hundreds of trees in the Avenue of the Righteous at Yad Veshem that stand as a living testament to his courage and compassion.
There is one-a single family-of Bosnians that were formerly Muslims whose is legacy commemorated in that same memorial.
What does that tell you?
Almost every day.
Well, the left has Al Gore and we have...never mind.
Methinks he has wandered into a Persian Pot o' Gold.
Pat the Medizer.
He was mocking in the use of the word hysterical.
The revisionist historiography of WWII, his nascent alliance with Noam Chomsky, and his editorship of The American Conservative-which endorsed John Kerry for President-should dispel any notion that Pat Buchanan is a genuine, traditional conservative Republican.
