I don't necessarily agree with Buchanan (it's an interesting point of view, but I think Hitler at some point would have attacked the West anyway) but I don't think Savage necessarily understands what he's saying.

I think Buchanan's a good interview on Savage and I hate to see him summarily dump him without give him his "day in court" so to speak.

If I may throw in my belated two cents--and perhaps hastily--, I agree. Savage has divorced himself from Buchanan a few times already, yet returns to Pat as a source of traditional conservative wisdom. His rant against Buchanan--I consider it to be nothing more than that--was unfair, in my opinion. Has the Doc read Pat's latest book? I have some disagreement with Mr. Buchanan, but referring to him as an apologist for Hitler borders on sensationalism.

Savage should know better. The old "anti-Semite" slander against paleo-conservatives is as detestable as the charge of "racism" against those opposed to affirmative action and other such liberal policies.

Savage...you can't live with him and you can't live without him...

BTW, Happy Forth.

Something cool from Patriot Post:

Mark Alexander writes, If our nation’s Founders could visit us on this, our 232nd Independence Day, what would they make of us? What would they declare of us?

A hint can be discerned in a letter from John Adams to his wife, Abigail, on July 3, 1776, as the Declaration of Independence had just been approved. “It ought to be commemorated,” said the man who would become our second president, “as the Day of Deliverance by solemn Acts of Devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with Pomp and Parade, with Shews, Games, Sports, guns, Bells, Bonfires and Illuminations from one End of this Continent to the other from this Time forward forever more. You will think me transported with Enthusiasm but I am not. I am well aware of the Toil and Blood and Treasure, that it will cost Us to maintain this Declaration, and support and defend these States. Yet through all the Gloom I can see the Rays of ravishing Light and Glory. I can see that the End is more than worth all the Means. And that Posterity will tryumph in that Day’s Transaction, even altho We should rue it, which I trust in God We shall not.”

Mark Alexander continues, ...how often do we recognize Independence Day as “the Day of Deliverance?” How often do we honor it with “solemn Acts of Devotion to God Almighty”? How often do we contemplate the cost of our freedom, “the Toil and Blood and Treasure?”

I add, God Bless America on her 232nd Independence Day.
