In a last ditching of any pretense of conservative ideology, Pat Buchanan came out in favor of...foreign aid for the PA government under Hamas.

It's a really good article. It's worth the read.

Naw the paleocons are ignoring it. They are in mourning.

Well, the question is whether they will keep Zawahiri on the masthead of The American Conservative.

They'll just put a black wreath around his photo.

I just got coffee all over my monitor!

I'm sure they'll list him as "Martyed Editor Emeritus" or something like that. Maybe they'll do a 20-page retrospective on the life and times of The Zarkster.

A bit long but it does do a great job at describing the heart and soul of the unappeasable.

"Jobs for the lads" may be an effective slogan for a trade union, but the paleos needed to develop a more idealistic explanation for their resentments,

Only a person who has been "set" for a long time can say this without so much of a shadow of conern for other people who are struggling with outsourcing and reduced real wages.

This is really a fascinating review of the history of conservatism, much of which occurred when I wasn't paying much attention. Thank you for finding and posting it.

The vast majority of conservatives identify themselves as simply "conservative".

The "paleo" and "neo" appellations are contrived and inaccurate.

The Buchananites represent an aberration, and only a tiny constituency.

Unfortunately, I meant Zarqawi, but the sentiment's the same.

But they may be the majority around here.

I've argued a lot against "paleos" on historical and factual grounds but don't have any use for this petty name-calling and innuendo of Frum's. It was pathetic when it came out.

I've given up on getting anything intelligent out of NRO. They seem to be in permanent "provocative mode".

Not even close.

Non-supporters of Israel who don't support the war don't fare well in these parts, actually.

Keyes conservatives are supporters of Israel, and support the War on Terror.

Maybe not in those words but again,like the left,they sometimes know what not to say while espousing every other aspect of the doctrine.

Well, we'll just have to disagree. My experience is that Buchanan-type posters are rarer than hens-teeth on FR.

It's an insult and a damn libel to call Buchanan a Nazi. And that is exactly what you have done by calling him a nationalist socialist.
