"True, one might as soon call the founding fathers fascists as Buchanan. "

Pat's critics keep looking for some lie that sticks - some call him rightwing others call him leftwing. Their problem is that can't refute his truth.

Pat is right about this as he was about illegal immigration, abortion, homosexual practices, NAFTA jobs losses and foreign entanglements will bring war to our shores.

"Pat's critics keep looking for some lie that sticks - some call him rightwing others call him leftwing. Their problem is that can't refute his truth."

oh please, Pat himself keeps looking for 'lies that stick'... his whole "empire-building" line is a massive strawman argument. The US is not doing anything of the kind.

Whether he is right on other issues, Pat has been consistently *WRONG* on middle east foreign policy. He was wrong about Gulf War I which he opposed (if Pat had his way, Saddam would be in Mecca by now), WRONG about Israel / Palestine (if Pat had his way, Arafat would be ruling Jerusalem by now) ... Due mainly to his irrational fear of Jewish Power.

That's because Pat is doing his best to follow the vision of the Founding Fathers, something the neo-cons detest as much as the liberals...
