It galls me no end to see Pat Buchanan trotted out as the token conservative on talking-head pundit shows on television. Buchanan is not a conservative, nor are Raimondo, Francis, Sobran, or any of the other 'paleos' mentioned in the article. They go so far right that they wrap around and become so closely identified with the far left in idealogical conformity as to be indistinguishable. The reason they carry the 'conservative' tag at all is that it pleases the left-leaning MSM to identify them as such, thus smearing legitimate conservatism, and--for the 'paleos' themselves, the Buchanan crowd, particularly--wraps them in a cloak of mainstream conservative respectability.

Absolutely correct.

The very first "conservative value" is self-defense.

In the absence of that commitment, the rest of one's values are at risk.

P.T.qualifies as an ultra conservative.

Whenever the United States takes a position that, in the eyes of this crowd, benefits Israel or the Jews, this crowd wants to see the United States defeated. It is as simple as that. Buchanan has even come to the defense of Iran.

I see Sobran as a tragic figure. A brilliant man who is destroying himself by his irrational hatred of jews. The others are just midgets. Buchanan is Roderick Spode come to life. I imagine he makes Mrs. B. call him Mein Fuhrer in their bedroom.

I could not agree with you more. They are radicals beyond belief! I am not the least bit interested in what they have to say. This nation has lost it's mind.
