I would classify neither Pat Buchanan nor Peter Brimelow as white nationalists. Strong opposition to immigration hardly makes one a white nationalist. It is likely that a majority of blacks and even many second and greater generation Americans of Hispanic background favor strong restrictions on immigration and better control over the borders. Furthermore, Brimelow is an immigrant from England.

Jared Taylor and Sam Francis might fairly be considered white nationalists. However, both men could hardly be regarded as mainstream paleo-conservatives, if you define paleo-conservatism as the continuation of the anti-New Deal forces and the post-World War II conservative movement, best represented by politicians like Barry Goldwater and Robert Taft and intellectuals like Russell Kirk and Frank Meyer. Taylor and Francis belong to the neo-Confederate and white separatist camps. Their political lineage derives from the Southern Agrarians of the 1930s and the Citizens' Councils opposition to racial integration in the post-World War II era.

A typical liberal ploy is to claim that principal true conservatism in the American sense, e.g., strict construction of the Constitution, natural (God-given) rights, limited government, states' rights, free market economics, and respect for Biblical and traditional moral values, are really rooted in white supremacism. It is unreasonable and even outrageous, but it is proof that the "Big Lie" can be effective.
