of course not. Pat is a relic of a past so far gone, so over, so dated, so out of touch, he was pretty much irrelevant in the real world.

He was, back then.

But read his books. While he seemed extreme and resentful back then, his books have proven to be prophetic.

I'd be more careful in your characterizations. There are a lot of us “relics” hanging around here. Pat was a senior adviser to Nixon, Ford and Reagan. He wrote a great syndicated column for many years. When he hosted Crossfire... it was a decent show. In 1996 he was runner up to Bob Dole in the Republican primary. I still find his opinion to be very relevant. You either are very young or have a short memory; in his time Pat Buchanan was very relevant.

He wrote a great book pre-Bush days, “A Republic, Not An Empire”...I don’t know, sounds pretty relevant to me.
