Remember Pat’s “Culture War” speech at the 1992 GOP convention? He nailed it back then yet he was lambasted as intolerant, narrow-minded, and hate filled. Forward the clock and ask yourself which side of the aisle is filled with intolerant, narrow-minded, hate filled people. Pat said then our values were eroding and the Democrats were leading the charge. He was right. Now look at the moral and economic wasteland America has become.
I just read the text of Pat Buchanan’s 1992 speech. It was an endorsement of George H.W. Bush for a second term, nothing more or less. A delineation of what makes conservatism better for society than liberalism. The differences between the Republican party platform & that of the Democrats.
The speech contained ONE reference to cultural war, and for that Buchanan has been excoriated as a Neanderthal racist ever since. He only spoke the plain truth about right versus left in American politics.
(And yes, thankfully, he didn’t mention Israel or the Middle East).
“Remember Pat’s “Culture War” speech at the 1992 GOP convention? He nailed it back then yet he was lambasted as intolerant, narrow-minded, and hate filled.”
And that was just what was said by the Jack Kemp, George Bush wing of the GOP.
