Pat Buchanan and some institutions who have outlived their time ... and usefulness.

[Iwo Jima]

What's wrong with this article. I couldn't find a single thing to disagree with. So I'd say that Pat Buchanan has far from outlived his usefulness.

Have you ever written anything half as worthwhile as this article?

[K-oneTexas]

Guess you got the wrong idea. I AGREE with the article. I whole-heartedly AGREE with Pat Buchanan on this. These institutions need to be gone ... most especially the U.N. [I do not look forward to Secretary General William Jefferson Clinton.]

[Mr. Mojo]

At least Ronald Reagan said goodbye to a corrupt UNESCO, walked out, and killed the U.N. power grab of the world's oceans and their resources by refusing even to consider the Law of the Sea Treaty.

And President Bush? He has rejoined UNESCO, started paying dues again and ...is about to push to have Congress bring the United States under the Law of the Sea Treaty.

Quite a contrast between the conservative (Reagan) and the "compassionate" one-worlder (Bush).

Now, instead of ceding NATO to the Europeans and pulling out, we have moved NATO onto Russia's front porch and driven Moscow into the arms of Beijing.

People don't seem to form the connection between Putin's recent anti-USA rhetoric with the fact that we have been putting assets all along Russia's border.

[Optimill]

Great article. I agree 100% with what he says here.

[Digger]

I’ll take Pat over GW any day. So flame me. I doubt that Pat could have in my wildest dreams, set the conservatives back as much as GW has done.

[d-back]

Buchanan bump. He’s right as usual.

[elc]

It’s all good except the NATO part. I disagree with his opinion that we should turn it over to Europe. One only need to listen to Putin for awhile to understand while our involvement in NATO is still relevant.

[Map Kernow]

If the Republican Party continues to betray its principles as it has been doing under this son of a Bush, then it is an institution that has outlived its usefulness.

[Penner]

Yes, neocons have outlived their usefulness.

Go Pat Go!

[John Leland 1789]

Great article from Mr. Buchanan. I am glad to see the level of respect due him in this thread, too. No, I don’t always agree with him, but I am F A R from believing that he is dangerous or useless.

What is wrong with Mr. Bush? I mean, supporting the Law of the Sea Treaty ??!! Let’s get the ears of our Congress people on this — against this.

I’m so sick of having a Democrat in the White House under conservative GOP guise. Mr. Buchanan’s rightness on this stuff illustrates the thin dime between the two major parties is beginning to feel like tin foil. It would matter NOT in policy or direction for the nation in general whether there is an Edwards or Giuliani in the White House (I just saw the Edwards 47% to Giuliani’s 45% poll thread).

Actually, Mr. Buchanan’s article revives very much feeling that the men nominated and elected are controlled by someone else anyway ; a feeling that elections don’t much matter at all any more.

I will still vote.

What's wrong with this article. I couldn't find a single thing to disagree with.

What's "wrong" is statements such as this one:

Why should the United States, now the world's largest debtor nation, go out into the capital markets and borrow billions, so the World Bank and IMF can continue to subsidize the most corrupt and least competent regimes on earth? Does this make sense?

What's the problem with that?

For one thing, even if we're the largest debtor nation, we're not in that state because of our support for the World Bank and IMF. He's comparing apples and oranges.

This particular aromatic nugget tells us a lot about Pat's own isolationism, and very little about anything useful.

[DesScorp]

I'm really sick of Pat Buchanan and the Jew baiting stuff. I'm sick of hearing about how the GOP bows to it's Jew Masters in Israel. I'm tired of seeing this bastard go after good men like Wolfowitz.

Hey Pat...we went to war against Nazi Germany. Sorry your corner of the party backed the wrong horse in that one. We decided blaming Jews for the world's ills ain't gonna cut it.

Kick this old Jew hating isolationist into the Libertarian party where he belongs.

[Iwo Jima]

Good. We agree then. I just get so tired of Freepers who say that anything that Pat Buchanan ever said must be wrong.

[Iwo Jima]

I totally agree with that statement by Buchanan. There should not be such a thing as the World Bank or the IMF. But if other countries want to play at such things, we should not be involved. To borrow money to give to third world despots is the height of insanity. How can you possibly approve of such ruinous idiocy? Do you hate America that much?

[Iwo Jima]

What in this article is "Jew baiting"? Nothing!

I am sick and tired of people like you trying to shut off debate by charging that anyone who disagrees with them hates Jews. Reverse anti-Semitism is just as wrong as blaming Jews for the world's ills.

Grow up and discuss ideas like a rational adult.

[r9etb]

I totally agree with that statement by Buchanan. There should not be such a thing as the World Bank or the IMF.

You are certainly free to be against the World Bank or IMF. But Pat attempts to use our status as the "largest debtor nation" as an argument against them, and that's just stupid.

It is much easier to say what Buchanan did, than to make a real argument. But for him to make a real argument, would be to admit also that, for all their problems, there are also legitimate strategic reasons for supporting one or both organizations.

Buchanan is particularly bad -- worse than useless -- when it comes to seeing how addressing international considerations can (and do) serve the national interest. The cowardly argument he proffers in this instance is at least better than his usual blather ... which isn't much of a compliment.

[Paperdoll]

All I can say is, “Do we need Duncan Hunter, or not?!!!” I supported Pat Buchanan in his run, as did, I believe Rep. Hunter. I once suggested that NWO-NAU Bush should be impeached and got my post deleted by the moderator. It is high time this country came out of the Globalist Bushes!
So come on, make my day.

[DesScorp]

"What in this article is "Jew baiting"? Nothing!"

Did you miss the part where he goes after Paul Wolfowitz? Paul is a Jew and a "neo-con", and Buchanan has being moaning for years about how neo-cons (code word for Republican Jew in DC) control Bush and DC for the benefit of Israel. THAT is Jew baiting. This story is just the latest volley in a constant stream of fire toward what Buchanan considers sneaky Jews in DC.
