Paleo Pat Pines for Powerful Putin

Patheos ^ | April 7, 2014 | vorjack

Self proclaimed paleo-conservative Pat Buchanan loves him an anti-gay, bear-back ridin’, judo flippin’, ex-KGB operative named Vlad. It’s just about the most absurd thing imaginable, and it’s all under the title “Which Side is God on Now? ...

Everybody in the news has been explaining how this Crimean conflict is not comparable to the last Crimean war. But is seems like Putin is dusting off some of the old propaganda, and Buchanan is buying it...

Relax-o-ping.

Pat is merely attempting to channel GK Chesterton. Don't hold it against him that he, under sis Birch's management, managed to cream multi millions out of his "Presidential Campaign," with the redoubtable Ms. Lola Fulani as his "running mate."

Also, when the weaker-witted folks among us who collect political player cards choose the one they want, whom might they tend to select: The Gay from Somewhere Else Disbarred Attorney Community Organizer in the Mom Jeans on the Girl Bike with the Helmet, or the winner of the USSR "Quien es Mas Macho" contest? Yo. Ya want Putin? Or the Pansy?

You tell me. BTW, Pat once cold-cocked a VA State Trooper. How friggin' macho is that?

Pat considers himself a Western Christian Gentleman. A Crusader, Soldier at the Gates of Vienna, Sailor at Lepanto, perhaps even a priestly Teutonic Knight converting Slavic hordes. A bit tedious perhaps, but annoying as it may be to you, Western Civilization in its higher aspects from which we all benefit is sort of you know, like ... well ... for occasionally better and sometimes worse ...Christian... or says it is ... or used to be.

The point I'm getting at is that to Buchanan, chrstianity is the European race(s). Period. End of discussion. It was created by European genes and chromosomes and will disappear if they do. Non-European chrstians aren't chrstians at all, and neither were the pre-Constantinian chrstians, since they had not yet created "western civilization."

This is henotheism, plain and simple--a thoroughly pagan and polytheistic outlook.

I'm not Jewish, you know. Just a Bible Belt redneck (who has been a Noachide for over 23 years). All the aforementioned things you mentioned are totally alien to the Bible Belt milieu. Ancient Biblical Israel is the only (lehavdil!) "chrstendom" we have ever known or wish to know.

Was it a fair fight? And did Pat end up in the calaboose?

[wideawake]

Thank you. Just because Obama is a weasel about stealing freedom doesn't mean that Putin is great for just punching people in the face when he enslaves them.

Would you rather lose your wallet to a pickpocket or a mugger? Or would you say: "That's a dilemma for an idiot. I want to keep my wallet."

Pel, Pat's nickname during our jeunesse dorée was "The Cold-Cocker." If he didn't like your tie, or thought the girl you took to a party was too good-looking for you... No warning...WHAM-O!

The Statie found this out the hard way as he was writing Pat a ticket. IIRC, he did spend a night in the hoosegow. I reckon that at the time, Pat was perhaps not the consummate product of Western Christian Civilization he is today.

[Pelham]

He was a work in progress, lol. What did your offending tie look like, anyway? Paisley?

[Kenny Bunk]

offending tie... paisley?

Nah. The Cold-Cocker, traditionalist that he was even then, took particular exception to fellows sporting the then-popular Regimental Ties.

You weren't in the 4th Punjabi Sanitary Corps, you bloody impostor ....POW!

“He is everything we wish an American President would be: manly...”

So much homoeroticism. What we need is a constitutionalist moral person, not some squat Napoleon complex ex commie dictator wannabe bully who will eventually responsible for murder of hundreds of thousands of his own fellow countrymen.
