I’ll stack Buchanan’s support of Israel 10 times (20 times) higher over the democrat of your choice.
Where some people got the looney idea that Buchanan is anti-Semite or stupid stuff like that is beyond me.

WE have two traditional parties in name only and a third, The Green. Ten years ago the IRS under the leadership of John McCain, yes that John McCain, ruined the Tea Party. They were trying to save the Republican Party but the party did not want to be saved. We couldn’t do it from the grass roots, Trump did it from the top down. It is the Tea Party! However we now control the Republican Party. We have its name, its organization, its right to run candidates. The coup took place in full view except it took two years for the old guard to leave. To go where? The Democratic Party? Talk about a big steaming pile of rotten leafs! The Democrats are changing in the communist party, their coup is a wonder to watch. The radicals, now the leaders of the democratic party will drive out the old guard and the establishment to go where? Well they can go Green and try to build their party there. There is no party for the past political failures. Interesting times.
“Where some people got the looney idea that Buchanan is anti-Semite or stupid stuff like that is beyond me.”
Maybe from his near constant braying about the “Israel lobby”.

My thought. The P key is a long way from the B key.
Absolutely.
Yepper. John McCain got rich specializing in treason.
Tribalism
What nation on earth exists without it, to some extent?
The question is, do we wish to exist or not.
If we do, whose ideals should we adopt, our own or another person’s ideals dictated to us?
I opt for the former.
Close our border for between one and two generations.
Lets get back to basics.
Thomas Jefferson's 1801 First Inaugural laid out what he considered to be the principles of his Administration. President Trump may find that Jefferson's listing agrees with most of what he ran on as a candidate.
Note the important warning contained in Jefferson's last paragraph--that if "we" strayed from those principles, the nation should return to "the only road which alone leads peace, liberty and safety."
We are just beginning that "road" back. Determination of "We, the People," combined with diligence and patience will be required against those tyrannical, cultish, totalitarian (do and say what we do and say) and oppressive "progressive" regressive paths which have led us away from the principles of Jefferson and the Framers of our Constiution of government, and backward to Old World ideas.
(Excerpt, "Our Ageless Constitution," p. xiv, reformatted)
"Let us, then, with courage and confidence pursue our own Federal and Republican principles, our attachment to union and representative government. Kindly separated by nature and a wide ocean from the exterminating havoc of one quarter of the globe; too high-minded to endure the degradations of the others; possessing a chosen country, with room enough for our descendants to the thousandth and thousandth generation;- entertaining a due sense of our equal right to the use of our own faculties, to the acquisitions of our own industry, to honor and confidence from our fellow-citizens, resulting not from birth, but from our actions and their sense of them;
- enlightened by a benign religion, professed, indeed, and practiced in various forms, yet all of them inculcating honesty, truth, temperance, gratitude, and the love of man;
- acknowledging and adoring an overruling Providence, which by all its dispensations proves that it delights in the happiness of man here and his greater happiness hereafter
—with all these blessings, what more is necessary to make us a happy and a prosperous people?
- Still one thing more, fellow-citizens—a wise and frugal Government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another, shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned.
- This is the sum of good government, and this is necessary to close the circle of our felicities.
"About to enter, fellow-citizens, on the exercise of duties which comprehend everything dear and valuable to you,
- it is proper you should understand what I deem the essential principles of our Government, and consequently those which ought to shape its Administration. I will compress them within the narrowest compass they will bear, stating the general principle, but not all its limitations.
- Equal and exact justice to all men, of whatever state or persuasion, religious or political;
- peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations, entangling alliances with none;
- the support of the State governments in all their rights, as the most competent administrations for our domestic concerns and the surest bulwarks against antirepublican tendencies;
- the preservation of the General Government in its whole constitutional vigor, as the sheet anchor of our peace at home and safety abroad;
- a jealous care of the right of election by the people—a mild and safe corrective of abuses which are lopped by the sword of revolution where peaceable remedies are unprovided;
- absolute acquiescence in the decisions of the majority, the vital principle of republics, from which is no appeal but to force, the vital principle and immediate parent of despotism;
- a well disciplined militia, our best reliance in peace and for the first moments of war, till regulars may relieve them;
- the supremacy of the civil over the military authority;
- economy in the public expense, that labor may be lightly burthened;
- the honest payment of our debts and sacred preservation of the public faith;
- encouragement of agriculture, and of commerce as its handmaid;
- the diffusion of information and arraignment of all abuses at the bar of the public reason;
- freedom of religion; freedom of the press, and freedom of person under the protection of the habeas corpus, and trial by juries impartially selected.
These principles form the bright constellation which has gone before us and guided our steps through an age of revolution and reformation. The wisdom of our sages and blood of our heroes have been devoted to their attainment. They should be the creed of our political faith, the text of civic instruction, the touchstone by which to try the services of those we trust; and should we wander from them in moments of error or of alarm, let us hasten to retrace our steps and to regain the road which alone leads to peace, liberty, and safety."

And so the elites who were in charge when the fire broke out, and who failed to respond and refused even to recognize it, and who now denounce Trump for how he is coping with it, are unlikely to be called upon again to lead this republic.
Never again will we turn to these people...
From your keyboard to God’s inbox!
That was the last time Romney mattered; when Trump sent him home to mommy with no role in the new administration.
Almost looks like Trump in booing him.
“Bush Leaque Republicans” = RATs = UniParty.
They’re ALL the same on the inside with a different facade on the outside.
The UniParty protects its own....pray for the POTUS everyday.
You have a problem with this? Sucks for you. I'm fine with it.
Look at the #1 #NeverTRUMPer that crossed over!
First line should have read, "Perhaps this President and the patriots who recognize the difference between liberty (what Kirk called "ordered liberty") and tyranny will, for posterity, begin the road back to, 'peace, liberty and safety,' as described by Jefferson in his First Inaugural!
Great article.
“I sure don’t. Don’t think Kaslin does either. I think PJB is one of the greatest conservatives ever. “
Those are my sentiments as well. Pat was the proto Trump. Old school paleo conservative. Like many here, myself included.
Kas, I hope you don’t take my question as an accusation. I’m sure the admin can correct the author’s name if requested.
Bush never had a legacy in Iraq.
Once a traitor always a traitor.
