You'll never guess where Pat points his finger.

With the end of the Cold War, an alliance with Israel has ceased to be central to U.S. interests. Indeed, our reputation as armorers and allies of Israel only damages us as Sharon rampages through the West Bank and Gaza walling off Arab land and denying to Palestinians that very right of self-determination we Americans espouse. Sharon is making hypocrites of us, and we are cowards for permitting it.

To the neocons, however, Zionism is second nature. They cannot conceive of a foreign policy that is good for America that does not entail absolute solidarity with Israel. They are dangerously close to imbibing the poisonous brew that drove Jonathan Pollard to treason: If it is good for Israel, it cannot be bad for America.

Yup... it's the Jews.

It's all da JOOOOS fault! Imagine my surprise.

Looks like Patsy's been hanging around with Raimondo for too long, he's picked up "the-more-words-I-excrete-onto-a-page-the-smarter-I-am" disease.

No telling what else he caught from Justin.

Maybe he'll show up at his next press conference in a dress.

Pat never, ever fails to blame the Joooz.

But how is our survival as a nation menaced when not one American has died in a terrorist attack on U.S. soil since 9/11?

I like to keep piles of oily rags and gas cans scattered all over my house. Plus, I like to let my kids play with matches. After all, if it were really dangerous, someone in my house would have gotten hurt by now, right?

Funny that PJB still has a few supporters when the basic premise - the equivocation that "no damage" is equivalent to "no threat" - is nothing more than an intellectual failure, an inability to reason properly. Ideologues are like that, though.

Buchanan holds his enemies close..Perle and Drum that is.

Once that Father Coughlin influence takes hold, it never completely goes away.

I guess Cynthia McKinney reads PJB on Israel and feels the tug of a kindred soul.

What untrue idiocy there from Pat Buchannan, who I agree with on most other matters such as immigration and economic nationalism.
