I simply don't listen to Buchanan anymore.

An un-American conservative

[MEG33]

I failed to read this rant thinking it was about Buchanan! If facism comes to America? This is nuts!

Ho hum! Folks like Pat Buchanan and Joe Sobran have become irrelevant among conservative thinkers in America. Truly wise men don't see conspiracies (Jewish or otherwise) every time America's interests are at stake; it is intellectually lazy (and dishonest) to do so.

Justin Raimondo quoted in an article? I clicked my browser back button right there.

Buchanan's biggest problem is that he understands the Constitution better than most neo-cons (is that short for the "new con job"?) and in the face of opposition that contains heavy doses of ignorance and arrogance he continues to persevere.

At the forefront of what might be called the post-Russell Kirk wing of traditional conservatism is Patrick J. Buchanan,

The author is under a mistaken impression if he thinks that PJB is at the forefront of anything. The number of Pat's followers is well within the statistical margin of error from zero. He is not a leader of any appreciable number of conservatives, neo or paleo.

Much ado about nothing. Buchanan is completely irrelevant. Even this article gives his current prospects for political influence far too much credence.

"The awful thing is that beauty is mysterious as well as terrible. God and devil are fighting there, and the battlefield is the heart of man." this is how Dostoevsky puts it. Plainly re-stated, it's not a question of us Good Guys versus the evil other. The fundamental evil lurks inside every one of us. It's a fact that many seem determined to overlook.

the Grand Old Party that nurtured him but now sees fit to live without him.

Interesting, and I thought Buchanan left the Republican party. I had no idea the Republicans threw Buchanan out of that party.

It sounds more like the author needs to refrain from calling Miss Cleo of the physic friends network for advice on the future of American politics. The only problem with his article is that Patrick Buchanan is irrelevant to modern day conservatism. Nobody is buying his magazine let alone paying any attention to what he is espousing. The hand full that are do nothing more than serve as token icons for the left to hold up and try to tar the right with. PJB is totally out to lunch when it comes to political vision in trying to obtain political office.

This is a very bizarre article when you consider that Transaction Publishers, which Horowitz heads, has published several paleoconservative books in recent years and provided space in its magazine "Society" for Paul Gottfried and other paleo authors. Certainly paleos have had more of an "in" with Horowitz's outfit than with most other magazines or publishing houses. Keeping that in mind it's hard to take Horowitz's charges seriously. If he thought they were fascistically inclined, why publish them all this time?

It's hard to recognize Buchanan's magazine in what Horowitz writes. Buchanan is critical of Bush, but that hardly amounts to "unrelenting hatred." This article looks like another example of the heated emotions of the day rather than a serious analysis of "paleoconservatism" or "The American Conservative."

I used to like Buchanan. Hey, I'll give credit where credit is due. Without Pat on the ballot in Palm Beach, it would be President Algore.
