That's a lot of air to blow out at once.
who we don't want associated with the party of Reagan. The big tent only stretches so far, and we need to make sure he's on the outside looking in.
Funny that proponents of the "big tent" theory would use it to justify the inclusion of flaming liberals like Rudolph Giuliani, Arlen Specter, George Pataki, Jim Jeffords, John McCain, etc. in a supposedly center-right political party, but absolutely refuses to include a man who expressly condemns abortion, homosexual marriage, and mass immigration invasions.
Critics, of course, insist that Buchanan has become increasingly "alertist" and negative about the state of the Union (no pun intended) over the last fifteen to twenty years, and cite this as proof of "anti-Americanism," which they then claim discredits anything he says. But as someone who grew up in the 1990's and is being educated in the mid-2000's, I can tell you why Buchanan's incresing alertism is totally warranted: frankly, this country has deteriorated severely even over my own lifetime. What remained of this country's moral identity when I was born has been relaxed to be barely recognizable in many places. We are constantly being invaded by our good neighbors to the South. As a result, I worry that I might not have a good homeland to pass on to my children.
I don't agree with Buchanan on everything. But he is frequently correct about many issues, and what's more, I have never seen anyone actually refute anything he wrote. At best, they call him "anti-Semitic," "nativist," "isolationist," "protectionist," or, my favorite, "RACIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
