Far greater evils used to be celebrated, and are now condemned. Western Civilization is the best on the planet, and continues to improve, the blitherings of nattering nabobs of negativism such as Pat notwithstandings.

I didn't know that Cicero had met Bill Clinton--but he sure painted a good picture of him.
Other than hateful, your comment is ignorant.
Both--in one sentence. Very good! You've passed Propaganda 101. Himmler would be proud of you.
What nonsense. The only mention Pat makes of Jews in the column is of devout Jews joining devout Christians and Moslems in opposing the sexual revolution of the 1960s. This column is about the rot seeping into American culture.
I'm going to rely on you to fix/edit my statements. I go from the gut and you obviously have some formal training/education. I've read many of your comments and haven't found any I disagree with.
Attacking typing or spelling errors diminishes the discussion.."lawyers" is the word inferred and so I did not even notice it.
Ah, I see. No wonder you're afraid of someone "imposing" Christian morality on you. You think the mass murder of innocent civilians is A-OK.
PJB's article was a bit dramatic, but MEG33's hit on the nuts of the debate which will unfold over the next several months.
That is: SHOULD the US 'establish democracy' in the Middle East, and if it should, HOW should this be done?
"Establishing democracy" does not require the Judaeo-Christian tradition, although it's helpful. The Greeks had democracy long before Christ, and without the help of Moses.
But the US military machine is not really the vehicle for instructions on how to use voting machines, nor for instructions on zoning ordinances, plumbing controls, and highway laws.
The military should be used for what it IS good for, in combination with other assets: eliminating AlQuaeda.
Interesting how some folks' resentment of Buchanan is so all-consuming that we now have conservatives trying to argue that American culture hasn't significantly declined from what it used to be...all because they don't want to agree with Buchanan!
And to think I once voted for him in the California primary.
When the enemy hides behind human shields making it impossible to kill the former without killing the latter, the moral onus for the result falls upon the enemy.
If you really think that the US should dedicate a few Divisions and a Fleet to the defense of Israel, and believe that such defense is perpetually in the national interests of the USA...
Then you should send YOUR sons and daughters over there, pronto.
The debate is about the national interests of the US, not the national interests of Israel. Occasionally they are congruent. More often, they are roughly parallel. But they will NEVER be ALWAYS congruent--unless Israel becomes the 51st State.
I ain't the one backing a "Blame America firster" like Pat Buchanan.
They wanted war - I say we make it so hellish they give up on jihad forever.
War is hell.

Of course, you can provide documentation of "Pat's 'Love child'" for the edification of FReepers.
And if he were Jewish he would support Sharon.Naw, he'd call Sharon a sellout and support the "transfer" advocates.

You've hit the nail on the head!
Pat Al-Hamas Buchakazi.
What you are talking about here, and what I was responding to which initiated your response to me, are not the same.
This is what we call a non sequitur.
No one, and I mean no one, said or intimated that we should dedicate either a U.S. division or a fleet to Israel.
No one.
