You don't specify what I should explain so I'll assume it's the comment about my opinion that Buchanan is a crypto-fascist populist paranoia pimp.

Well, the populist-paranoia-pimp part is self-explanatory and self-evident.

As for the crypto-fascist part:

(1) The likes of the late William Pierce, the guy who runs that neo-Nazi uber-site and the guy who formerly published Spotlight have all written approvingly of Pat Buchanan and his views and…

(2) Buchanan has written approvingly of the late Generalissimo Francisco Franco.

Since neo-Nazis and white supremacists approve of Pat Buchanan and Pat Buchanan approves of a fascist dictator ipso facto Pat buchanan is close enough to being a crypto-fascist to convince most rational and thoughtful people.

However if you prefer the term proto-fascist I won't argue with you.

As for engaging in a lengthy debate to justify my political philosophy, some other time.

I have two web sites to feed and besides, I have been at this game too long to be manuvered into a position where I have to justify every opinioin, provide documentartion for every assertion and define every term.

Quite a few conservative intellectuals have "written approvingly" of the late General, including the great Erik von Kuehnelt Leddihnn, who as an Austrian count who lived through both WWI and WWII was *anything* but a fascist.

When did so many self-professed conservatives start worshipping at the altar of the corporation? Most of the fathers of the modern conservative movement knew that the corporation could become just as powerful an enemy of Liberty as the State.
