Pat Buchanan has lost it.

As well, given this country's love for Israel, I think Buchanan only appealed to anti-Semites like himself.

He was just on Scarborough blaming Israel for starting the current bloodshed in Lebanon. I remember he said Israel's actions were anti-Christian, then I changed the channel wondering why anyone on here or anyone else other than Aljazeera cares what the guy has to say about anything.

There are times I wish I could go back in time and change the the past.. I would go back in 92 and make sure I would not vote for this shrub.. I had a feeling that he was going to blame Israel....

Pat has one of those D&D like tables he uses to generate columns:

ROLL 1d6:
1. Bash Bush for whatever he just did
2. Bash Bush for whatever he just didn't do
3. Dress up leftist economics in conservative clothing
4. Accuse other conservatives of being leftists
5. Denounce furriners
6. Denounce Israel/Joooos

The American Conservative always struck me as too slim a magazine for its price. Even then, I was considering ordering a subscription merely to get an "Old Right" perspective on events in comparison to the "neoconservative" position, but Pat Buchanan's ever-increasing diatribes against Israel have convinced me not to. TAC might as well fold the way the late JFK Jr.'s George did.

Chronicles was another "Old Right" choice I had in mind, but I cannot take seriously a magazine that champions the late Samuel Francis, whose views I find suspect, not to mention that persistent romanticized attachment to the antebellum South Pat and Joe Sobran embrace as well.

So, what publication is out there that gives us a paleoconservative perspective in an intelligent, logical manner? I don't know, although an article I read in Wikipedia.org places The Intercollegiate Review in the "Old Right" camp.

For the time being, National Review and The American Spectator are "neocon" magazines worth investing in.
