All points aside, the quality of the writing amazes.
Gone forever.
Your man is no conservative.
An example would be this article from the American Muslim Council convention:
Reform Party presidential candidate Pat Buchanan addressed the luncheon which followed. Drawing parallels between himself and the American Muslim community, Buchanan told the audience they have shared family values and a belief that abortion is wrong. Islam’s influence, he said, is “on the rise, and I believe the influence of your community in this country is positive, it is beneficial and it is desperately needed in an age when I see our country going in the wrong direction.
Buchanan was not the only politician there. However, the way he presents himself as a spokesman for America First and a defender of Christian culture seems a bit hypocritical. Buchanan panders for hyphenated-American and "multicultural" votes just the same as any other pol.
Except now we have one more vote in the Senate to take away guns, promote abortion, raise taxes, approve liberal judges, increase the size of government and expand the power of unions.
But since when did any of these things really matter to people like you?
If anything, Buchanan was far TOO MILD in indicating the circumstances of the FIRST CRUSADE. Indeed, after over 400 years of ISLAMIC oppression the Seljuk Turkish Muslims were threatening Constantinople and the Eastern Empire. That's what finally precipitated the FIRST CRUSADE.
Hence, BUMP for mild truth.
Don't you just sleep better knowing that he's in the Cabinet, doing to another branch of government what he did for immigration reform while in the Senate?
I would like to see all the cabinet officials be pro-life. I would like to see all prolife generals running the war in Afganistan. I would like to see all prolife police and firefighters helping the WTC victims in NYC.
But getting all prolifers can be a little difficult. Just ask Pat Buchanan about why he asked a proabortion communist to be his campaign chair or why he asked a proabortion Teamster president to be his vice-presidential candidate.
If Buchanan was not even willing to commit to a prolife running mate or campaign chair, what do you think his cabinet would look like?
JimRob said you are allowed only on the "Freeper" thread, not others.
That means a lot coming from a guy who disagrees with my statement claiming that Buchanan has a public image problem.
You are the one being intellectually dishonest. And you are the one who cut and ran.
Generally ... those with the reading and comprehension deficits are exactly the first to yell "BUSH HATER" if someone criticizes the so-called "Bush" decision to legitimize and perpetuate with federal funds embryonic stem cell research.
We've got folks who think he's calling GW a marxist (not the Mason he was) and who miss entirely his use of "scourge" to describe the treatment of Bush. C'mon, a comparison of Bush to Christ, er, Bush's favorite philosopher? Pat's coming around, baby! =)
Of course, I have no problem with the crusades and pray every day that the Holy Father will call another one to liberate the Holy Land from the Mohammedans and Zionists. If he does, I'll sign up the same day. I know it probably won't happen in my lifetime, but who knows?
Of course Buchanan has an image problem. Who wouldn't with guys like you going around throwing out hundreds of accusations hoping at least a few will stick. There isn't a guy around who would bring up the issues Buchanan has that wouldn't receive the same treatment from you. Your comments that he has part of the right message, only he's the wrong messenger, is a self-serving lie in itself. Number one, you don't give him credit for his message, because you ALWAYS folow up even the slightest hint of agreement with more slanderous charges. Beyond that, there could NEVER be a right person to deliver his message, and you know it. You and your buds would trash them in the same manner as you have Buchanan. And then after about seven years of it, you'd be saying, well some of their message is right, but they're the wrong messenger. Your a dufus. You think nobody is on to you. Think again.
As for me cutting and running, I simply let you out yourself. Then I left you in a heap of ashes. You've been scorched partner. If you're too subliminal to know it, why should I waste my time restating the obvious.
As for intellectual dishonesty, I don't really mind you screwing with everyone else's minds. I expect it. But you can't even be honest with yourself. Now that's pathetic.
