Even W.F. Buckley and other big-name conservatives considered Welch a lunatic.

History has proven Buckley to be wrong in general and helped the left succeed. Big government types like Eisenhower are what brought us to the place we are today.

"history had proven Buckley to be wrong in general"

Really? Other than being wrong on the Civil Rights issues of the sixties (which he later admitted to being wrong), how has history proved him wrong?

Do a search on “Eisenhower’s War Crimes” regarding his treatment of German Soldier POWs post WW and tell me he was an honorable man.

“May 8, 1945, Eisenhower was appointed Military Governor of the U.S. Occupation Zone, based in Frankfurt am Main....He made the decision to reclassify German prisoners of war (POWs) in U.S. custody as Disarmed Enemy Forces (DEFs), thus depriving them of the protection of the GENEVA CONVENTION. As DEFs, their food rations could be lowered and they could be compelled to serve as unfree labor.” Eisenhower has been accused of allowing 1 to 1.5 million German POWs perish under his watch.
