America's ideologue in chief

[A. Pole]

your memory is as faulty as your reasoning: "No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all-wise. Indeed, it has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all those other forms that have been tried from time to time." WINSTON CHURCHILL, 1947

You did not get it. Winston Churchill misquoted and twisted the original ancient saying. And since he was well educated and smart he did it on purpose.

[dirtboy]

So sad that such a great American can't get elected. No wonder he's not a proponent of democracy.

Yep. Academic liberals hate markets because markets don't reward them to their inflated expectations. And Pat hates democracy because it just doesn't recognize his inflated sense of political genius.

[A. Pole]

Dude, I give up. You cannot even maintain a coherent line of debate. You were referencing post WWII

Well, it is YOU who wrote "The vacuum came from not finishing the job in the first place in WWI", Have you forgotten?

[dirtboy]

You did not get it. Winston Churchill misquoted and twisted the original ancient saying.

Gawd, talk about twisting. Is it a CHURCHILL QUOTE or is it not, no matter what the source of the concept?

[gusopol3]

right, we minded our own business under Clinton and all it got us was escalation from them.

[elhombrelibre]

Yeah, Churchill wasn't a real proponent of democracy. Buchanan's a genius. Churchill misquotes and is doltish. Pat's the Great Man. Why can't the people see it?

[elhombrelibre]

Well, some times we minded our own business. Clinton took the fight to Milosevic, but he looked the other way with bin Laden and engaged in wishful thinking.

The most annoying thing about Patsy is his laugh when he is asked a hard question. Very similar to Her Heinous.

[gusopol3]

you have a far more complicated epistemologic problem than either Churchill or I. Is that a Chomsky analysis of Churchill?

[elhombrelibre]

Pat's the most amiable of anti-Semites per Michael Medved. I honestly think he could have been totally content in Hitler's Germany. He would have easily defended the lack of democracy in Germany by noting that the democracies had high unemployment and unwholesome values. He's no longer an American Conservative; he's a egotistical weirdo.

Yeah, that kind of "If the world worked the way I wanted it to, I'd be the monarch and you wouldn't dare even to address me in that insolent manner" laugh. That kind of "throw him in the dungeon!" laugh.

[Pharmboy]

Indeed...he forms a troika with the late Sam Francis and the still living Joseph Sobran. The three are good writers who share a major distaste for those of the Hebrew persuasion.

[Pharmboy]

Excellent insight...I never saw it that way, but you are correctamundo, DB.

[dajeeps]

What Bush passed over in his speech is that it is the autocratic regimes in Cairo, Riyadh and Amman that hold back the pent-up animosity toward America and Israel, and free elections that have advanced Hamas, Hezbollah, the Moslem Brotherhood and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to power.

It's interesting how they suppose the elections were free. Saddam was elected unanimously, when he decided to hold elections...

They are all autocratic frauds, crooks, and thugs.

[MHGinTN]

Buchanan is an excellent example of how bitterness corrodes the mind ... such a sour little man now, working right where he belongs, on a spin cycle network.

[elhombrelibre]

Mr. Sobran used to write at National Review. He crafted lucid prose then and always enlightened. He, like Buchanan, appears to think they're quite brave for taking on the Jews with their controversial statements. In fact, all it shows is that they have some deep flaw. In Buchanan's case it's at least in part a huge ego and a goof ball sanctimonious streak that let's him think he alone can preach to those Jews and straighten them out. The man is a weirdo.

[elhombrelibre]

He's been bitter a long time. He, like many Democrats, was against removing Saddam from Kuwait. Again, like some Democrats, he's a long history of being an apologists for Saddam and his ilk and a basher of America's motives and Israel's in the effort to undermine tyranny in the Middle East.

[Pharmboy]

Well, Pat did learn his Jew-hatred at his dinner table growing up in DC. He learned his lessons from his dad quite well. He is no Johnnie-Come-Lately to this...

[RedRover]

He's no longer an American Conservative; he's a egotistical weirdo.

How else could you describe a speechwriter who decides he should be President of the United States?

[elhombrelibre]

Well, I should have written "an egotistical weirdo." I still remember when he was considering running against Reagan in the run up to the second term.
