I think he's spot on.

Pat's been right about most things for a long time.  
Note to Lazs:  This is what a real conservative (not neoconservative bait & switch) looks like.

Thats taking it abit far isnt it.

Speaking for myself i said that his statments in that interview is spot on. I dont know about his previous stuff.

On this tho.. he is correct.

Even Bush has his bright moments even if they are few and far apart. They are prolly not intentional tho

I voted for Pat twice but there is some foundation in the libs claim that Pat is/was a 'Nazi' or 'racist'. If you have read anything about his opinion of WW2 and Americas roll in it, or his opinions on the Civil war, or America's blind support of Israel etc... you can see their logic.

If you were a liberal it would be an easy leap to 'Nazi' or 'racist'. While these labels would be untrue and unfair they are hardly in line with modern neo-cons.

Pat has been poking his finger in Bush's eye for a long time, going back to his father. Even after he re-joined the Republican party and endorsed Bush he poked him in the eye again.

Which was exactly my point. I didn't want to post this in the derailed Ann Coulter thread, but the notion that the GOP represents conservatism isn't true as long as the Neocons are shaping the agenda.

I also think that most socialists are isolationists because they think that all that projection of power could best be used right here in the good ol USA to screw with the lives of the ordinary citizen.

On "programs" to "help" people here and run their lives.

Pat has allways had these isolationist views... I did not see these socialists praising him in the past when he blasted klinton for his little junkets into other countries affairs.



don't forget to wear your seatbelt now ya heah?  click it or ticket.... hire more highway patrol to catch those seatbelt offenders...

Heck... If we don't catch em then they will drive up health care and insurance and we won't get that rebate every year that we get now from the health care and insurance companies...

Hell.... health care and insurance migth go back up to the levels it was before seatbelt and helmet laws and all the rebates!

The socialists are coming! The socialists are coming!

Finally a neo-con/fundamentalist/wacko/presidential wanna-be speaks out.

So Sandy do you still think he's a "nazi" and "a bit of a loon"?

I don't often find myself agreeing with Pat. He's a nazi.

...but this time, he's right.

Like a blind pig finding an acorn?

Are you going to keep him around for a while and scratch him behind his ears?

I think Sandy answered your question Toad with the 1st sentence of his post:

"I used to think Pat Buchanan was a bit of a nutburger. Hell, he probably still his and he's had his share of provocative statements."

Seems like some of you are getting carried away. It is in fact possible to agree with something somebody says without agreeing with everything he says. But then, that's the type of thinking that seems to give some people a great deal of difficulty.

Sorta like being able to support the troops, but not the war.

As far as what Sandy posted, I agree with Buchanen completely. Do I agree with everything he's ever said? No. Do I think he'd make a good President? No.

That being said.... true conservatives like Buchanan make me all nostalgiac for the olden days of like..... 15 years ago, when the Republican party was in fact sane.

Coming? They've been here for over 50 years and are well entrenched. They found that the war isn't quite over as they thought until about 6 years ago. One or two more generations of public schooling will probably do it though.

[Sandman]

So, I take it you disagree with his opinion on this topic. Fair enough.

[Toad]

It's just somehow so beautiful to see you guys fawning over something Pat said.

Even a "nazi" can be admired, I guess.  

For the record, Pat has more than once put some cogent arguments forth. Sometimes favoring the right and sometimes (rarely) favoring the left. I think Laz has it right; he's only on your radar screen right now because he's currently slamming Bush. How could you not like him now, eh?

Tell me, is Pat "right on" or "a bit of a loon" about this issue:

Of Pulitzers and treason

or this one?

The stealth amnesty of Mike Pence


President? Why not? Like he'd be that all much worse or that much better than the two pandering bozos we'll be presented with as "choices" in '08.

[Nash]

You assume too much.

I've heard and agreed with tons of things he's said over the years.

You act like we've just discovered the guy 'cuz he poo-poo'd the preznit.
