It was the one on Pat Buchanan's article titled "America's Hollow Prosperity" -- and had 400+ replies on it by last night.

Well here's the link for you,
but I didn't see where anybody refuted any of the facts that Pat presented.
Mostly the same silly gaggle of naysayers squawking because Pat Buchanan wrote the article.
They always chant the same mantra, no matter what the topic is.

Let's assume that your God PJB's comments are 100% correct. How is turning our country into a Jew-hating socialist worker's paradise going to make it a stronger or better country? Don't you know that even the great USSR couldn't long ignore the brutal competition of a market economy? Get out of the past, the 50's are gone and will never return no matter how much PJB wishes it to be.

I think my most pointed comment pretty much refuted much of the "doom & gloom" slant to Buchanan's article.

If prosperity in this country were anywhere near as "hollow" as Buchanan suggests it is, there would be no career prospects for some inside-the-Beltway snot who has never had a real job in his life. When I meet Pat Buchanan at a truck stop somewhere in the Midwest and learn that he's working as an over-the-road trucker for 43 cents per mile, then I'll concede that maybe he's right about this "hollow prosperity" nonsense.

That's because he always chants the same mantra, no matter what the news of the day is. I've debunked many of his claims enough times that I probably do sound repetitive.

Back in the 1990s he was complaining that high-tech "service" jobs weren't as good as the manufacturing jobs we had 50 years ago -- and now he's complaining that the loss of these jobs is an ominous sign for this country. When he complains about the loss of jobs that he never thought were worth a damn in the first place, he really comes across as a pathological malcontent.

That's funny, I was kind of thinking the same about you!
