If his current hero thinks that Stalin was great, then he is great in Pat's eyes.
It's the same phenomenon you see with the lterary fellating of Slobodan Milosevic by Tom Fleming of Chronicles - as long as one embraces Blut und Boden ideology, the palaeos support him. Unless of course that man is an Israeli. Then he is evil.
I knew you would understand, old friend!
The Left may have dreamed of a unified world state at one time, but it has now reversed itself and joined the Nazis in wishing for a "planet of peoples," in which completely separate races/civilizations create their own equally valid worldviews with no objective universal truths whatsoever. As I said, the ultimate secret of "palaeoconservatism" is henotheism--each nation serving its own "gxd" with its own mythology in its own "holy land." This is why "palaeos" are universally hostile to Jewish Nationalism. Jewish Nationalism is linked to the Objective Universal G-d and thus (paradoxically) the separateness of the Jews "blends" the rest of humanity while the rootedness of Israel "uproots" the other nations, pointing away from "blood and soil" and to Heaven.
Thank G-d for people like you, wideawake! Would that there were zillions more of you!
