Return of America first

Town Hall ^ | 4/18/06 | Pat Buchanan

[NotchJohnson]

He loses me with the "Vulcans" comment. I wish it was as simple as we leave everyone alone and they will leave us alone.

[dfwgator]

How did that "America First" thing work out last time?

[1rudeboy]

Unfortunately, when the USA Today/Gallup poll shows Americans are looking for precisely such authentic conservatism, neither party is offering it.

What we need is an "authentic" conservative to run for president, hand-in-hand with a Marxist-Leninist. Perhaps you should consider it, Mr. Buchanan? Again, I mean?

[Dane]

Uh Pat how many votes did you get?

[ClearCase_guy]

The irony is that "America First" was largely composed of anti-semitic Nazi Sympathiziers (Lindbergh, Joe Kennedy, etc.). These were also joined by Stalinist stooges (Dalton Trumbo, Pete Seeger, etc.) who wanted America out of WWII for just so long as Hitler had a non-agression pact with Stalin.

Those are the folks Pat Buchanan sides with.

[NotchJohnson]

So has Pat come full circle and finally looks good. It wasn't long ago that he was being called a Nazi sympathiser (isn't any conservative called that anyways?). It worries me when liberals like our guys (McCain).

[LibLieSlayer]

"America First"= ISOLATIONISM!

We just have to look at WWII, Pacific Theater, and going along to get along. WE DO NOT need another Pearl Harbor, and we NEVER need buchanan ever!!!

Limited government. Balanced budgets. A defense second to none. Secure borders. A trade policy that puts America and Americans first. And a foreign policy that keeps us out of wars that are not America's wars.

This is not isolationism, as the administration claims. I am all for a full assault on Saudi Arabia.

[canuck_conservative]

How many votes did you get? Does that invalidate your opinion?

"What does the old-time conservatism stand for? Limited government. Balanced budgets. A defense second to none. Secure borders. A trade policy that puts America and Americans first. And a foreign policy that keeps us out of wars that are not America's wars."

Pat speaks some powerful truths here, which some people obviously don't want to hear.

[dfwgator]

[A Balrog of Morgoth]

Maybe if Pat didn't surround the occasional nugget of common sense with buckets full of bile and historical revisionism we might be able hear him.

[ARealMothersSonForever]

Pat may speak a few truths, but until he gets off of the anti-semitism and radical ideology; he is relegated to a curiosity.

[Dane]

Pat speaks some powerful truths here, which some people obviously don't want to hear.

Pat spouts them every night as an employee of the liberal media(MSNBC).

Again how many votes did he get?

[dighton]

How did that "America First" thing work out last time?

With a look of bewilderment, Pat asks why destroy Hitler?

[Zrob]

It worries me when liberals like our guys (McCain). make that YOUR guy - McShame doesnt represent me in any way except he unfortunately breathes air. I've lost all respect for that phony. When he said to a Yuma crowd "we need those illegals because not one of you would pick lettuce like them and here's $50/hr to prove it" I said in my head "here's $50 - if you can fly a plane without getting shot down"

[canuck_conservative]

More than you, I'll bet.

[GeorgefromGeorgia]

America firsters were against entering WWII against fascism and Nazism.
Pat still wants to hide his head in the sand like an ostrich. This is a small world after all, and to defeat the islamofacists we cannot sit on our hands in North America.

[Iscool]

Guess this doesn't describe any of you...

What does the old-time conservatism stand for? Limited government. Balanced budgets. A defense second to none. Secure borders. A trade policy that puts America and Americans first. And a foreign policy that keeps us out of wars that are not America's wars.

The Vulcans comment is insignificant...He apparently loses you folks with comments like this one...

Buchanan wasn't allowed into the Presidential debates because they knew he would have walked away the winner...

[oldleft]

If history has taught me one thing, it's that we can ignore the rest of the world. I'm sure Iran will behave if we pull out of the Middle East.

[Dane]

More than you, I'll bet.

Well of course, I don't have a six figure job at MSNBC spouting off constant anti-Bush tirades, pleasing his liberal bosses.
