"Buchanan's become the bitter old gadfly who pines for an era that never really was, and can never come to pass. "

Let's see why Buchanan pines.

- Pat was right on the economy bubble while Bush/Clinton were on spending frenzy plus tax cuts for as far as the eye could see.
- Pat was right about illegal immigration problems.
- Pat was right that foreign entanglements would bring war to our shores.
- Pat was s right that gay sexual practices will cause problems. Check out aids and what happened to the Catholic Church.

No wonder he is pining - so should America.

Sorry, again, I don't buy it.

I don't know why Buchanan has his head in the sand vis-a-vis foreign policy. Saddam Hussein is a MALIGNANT CANCER who has to be taken down sooner, rather than later. The same deal was the case with the Soviet Union, Nazi Germany, and I could probably think of a few more places where we need to take a stand now.

A fair bit of our policy since World War II was not playing favorites, it was stopping things before they got to World War III, or it was standing up for what was RIGHT. Pat Buchanan's way is no better than "non-judgemental" liberalism applied to international affairs.

Darn those tax cuts. So the federal government gets about $1200 less of my money this year because W, and not Pat, is President. Boo-Hoo. Pat is many things; CONSERVATIVE is not one of them.

WHAT??? I sure that America Foreign Policy is what cause four planes to be hijacked on September 11th. /sarcasm

It wasn't blind hatred of America, freedom, Western Civilization or anything like that.

The fact is, the world has one lone superpower - that thank God it is the United States of America. America is and should be the greatest champion of freedom today in the world.
