The end of our 'special relationsip' with Britain (Buchananite Puke-O-Rama)

The Week ^ | April 1, 2010 | Daniel Larison

[GOPGuide]

I want to note that the auththor, Daniel Larison, is a writer for the American Conservative Magazine and is not a liberal (Yeah, I know it can be hard to tell the difference...)

[Ghost of Philip Marlowe]

Yeah, it was W who caused the change in status...from when he sent the bust of Churchill back to England. Uh-huh.

[KevinDavis]

Allies, we don’t need no stikin Allies.. Never mind we had Allies who helped us win the Revolutionary War...

[Venturer]

Must have been when W gave the Briish prime Minister some tapes he couldnt play.

[GOPGuide]

Returning Churchill’s bust was a plus in the Buchananite crowd’s book because Churchill was the one who killed Pitchfork’s buddy, Adolf.

[KevinDavis]

That is my thinking... I think the Buchananites secretly like Obama... It is just my gut feeling..

[GOPGuide]

pingaling

[GOPGuide]

I think the Buchananites secretly like Obama... It is just my gut feeling..

I think its because of the anti-Israel foreign policy of BO.

[Rosemont]

that magazine is garbage.

[KevinDavis]

Yep...

[Finalapproach29er]

Gee. I wonder why the Irish-Catholic Buchanan wouldn't like Britain....

[SoCalPol]

The Buchananites - PaulBots are enjoying Obama’s trashing
of Israel. They are as anti war as Code Pinkos

[eclecticEel]

Another of Zero’s “successes”.

Hello Mr. Brown. As a sign of our friendship, here is an IPod with downloaded copies of my healthcare speeches on it; and also some DVDs my staff bought at WalMart that don't play on British DVD players.

You forgot the cheap plastic planes from the White House gift shop.

The Obama girls got leather-bound English classics, signed by authors such as J.K Rowling.

Who cares? The “Britain” we knew for the ladt 10 centuries no longer exists. Its future is as an Islamic Republic. Britain is totally lost, and they did it to themslves, willingly.

[dfwgator]

Gee. I wonder why the Irish-Catholic Buchanan wouldn't like Britain....

Just like his Irish-American predecessor, Lord Haw Haw.

Like other alliances defined by the crucibles of WW II and the Cold War, the “special relationship” has lost its old purpose while the “Global War on Terror” has failed to supply a new one.

Now there's an arguable premise if there ever was one.

[Carry_Okie]

But when Secretary of State Clinton recently expressed support for negotiations over the status of the territory, it appeared that neutrality had morphed into back-stabbing opposition. Clinton’s comment may have stemmed more from clumsiness than policy—until sheep become strategic assets the Falklands will remain a low priority at the State Department.

Equating America with the DOS or Clinton is equally deficient reasoning.

i am more of a washington afficionado who warned of entangling alliances...and that is generally where Buchanan is coming from...anyone on this site who claims to be conservative should look introspectively and consider the cost of our overseas adventures...many on our side have been brainwashed by the neo-cons who created the climate for an obama victory...just think about it before you rant and rave and realize that Buchanan is to the right of your position and is a true patriot...granted, he is subject to errors, but aren’t we all...the important thing is to not paint any true conservative as an Obama lackey...it just ain’t so and you demean yourself by suggesting such a thing.
