From the headline, I thought this was a variation of that favorite children's book, "Pat the Bunny."

Just completed the order form. Pretty good first issue from what I've heard.

Yawn.... Pretty boring article from Slate. But what else could you expect?

Buchanan's public is shrinking.

And Pat has nothing to worry about from them or any of his other critics. [As long as he stays away from his theories about diesel engines and suffocating Jews.]

My take on immigration is simple," the immigrant Taki explains. "We are a predominantly white society rooted in Christianity," but if our borders stay open "we will be Brazil in no time."

This guy's going to be an embarrassment, even to Buchanan, before very long. He's an anti-semite on the order of Joe Sobran (who will also likely be contributing to Pat's magazine).

I'd hate to see Michele Malkin get tied up with this bunch.

If you like that sort of thing. I haven't seen it, but I suspect it's porn for conservative miscreants. Judean People's Front types. libertyforum types. Like John Birch Society or LewRockwell. The I'm-more-radical-right-wing-than-you-are-crowd. Just enough subtle racism to make it titillating. 99.9% of Americans have no idea this magazine exists, and will have no idea it has folded when it inevitably does. But who knows? Maybe I am wrong. Maybe it is going to be a significant and thoughtful journal of opinion.

Naaaaaaaaaah.

It's the same crowd. lewrockwells, and all that. losers.

"Just completed the order form. Pretty good first issue from what I've heard. "

I did last week.

"he reminds us that hubris undid "the Ottoman, Russian Austro-Hungarian, and German empires in World War I, the Japanese in World War II, the French and the British the morning after." Guess who's next: "We will soon launch an imperial war on Iraq with all the 'On-to-Berlin!' bravado with which French poilus and British Tommies marched in August 1914." Once Saddam falls, he warns, "the neoconservatives who pine for a 'World War IV' " will push for "short sharp wars on Syria and Iran. Already Israel is tugging at our sleeve, reminding us not to forget Libya." "

So Pat is telling the truth, what else is new.

After centuries of warring the world, the sun now sets on the British Empire. The USA spent the last century warring in Europe and Asia. Now it's take on the Arab world for the present century.

Pat is for ISOLATING us from endless foreign interest wars of race, religion, or territory. Pat is for getting bin Laden, building fortress America ('bully' for him) and ending NAFTA. That's putting American interests first.

Looks like opinions vary snook. Pat seems to be losing ground with the neo-cons, lol.

[Welsh Rabbit]

I didn't really get into the article, but I was reminded of an SNL skit (one of the few funny ones) where Pat Buchanan give Steve Forbes a wedgie until he writes him a check for a million.

[ex-snook]

"Pat seems to be losing ground with the neo-cons, lol. "

Yep, Pat sure is losing ground, isn't he. So why are they afraid that people might read Pat's new magazine?

The article author brought up everything and everyone he could think of from the last couple of hundred years but still could not refute Pat. Is that why?

[ThreeYearLurker]

Judean People's Front types

Hilarious!

I have long wanted to make that point, but you beat me to it.

[Huck]

Pat seems to be losing ground with the neo-cons

Naaah. Ya think?

[Ranger]

Pat's speeches are best heard in their original german.

[Phillip Augustus]

Where is the evidence about Taki's antisemitism? Anyway, he's spot on, about immigration.

[hchutch]

Yeah, this is just a bunch of losers who are trying to make their populist/nativist/isolationist stands sound like conservatism.

[Pelham]

He's an anti-semite on the order of Joe Sobran

tsk tsk. Then Begala-Carville wing of FR pops up once again. And you buttress this slander with what, exactly? "Everybody knows"?

[sinkspur]

"Everybody knows"?

I'm surprised! Didn't you catch old Joe's speech to the Institute for Historical Review on their website? He was right there, in all his Holocaust-revisionist glory.

Joe, for some reason, feels the need to minimize the number of Jews killed by Nazis. Why do you think?
