I voted for Pat Buchanan a couple of times in the 1990s before he discovered paleopantywaistism in foreign/military policy as his idea of conservatism. Pat's only involvement in the conservative movement, as such, was speaking at conferences as a White House official. I won't be voting for him again. OTOH, I think Ann has been a lot more militant in her use of language than gentleman Pat ever was. He is a gentleman of the old school, however wrong on some policies, and the old school is dead. I agree with him on trade and markets and populism and Ann tends not to agree with him on those.
If Ann said that anti-war types support our troops, I would drop her in a second but that kind of statement is not conservative. Like Ann, I am an unreconstructed enthusiast for the sainted Senator Joe McCarthy ((see her Treason). If she said: Whatever we say, let's be really civil and respectful to our enemies, I would drop her but I know that there will be no fear of her saying any such thing. Also, it would not be conservative for her to do so. If she trended libertarian at the expense of tradition, that might be considered rightist in some circles and I would not be pleased. I don't consider bordermania conservatism and I think she does but she is too valuable to be dropped for an issue already decided in favor of my team.
