You pay them too much of a compliment by calling them "conservatives." Where are their true conservative beliefs? The Pitchfork Pat brigade are not conservatives: they are totalitarian, protectionist, xenophobic, anti-capitalists. Liberty is not something they truly understand. They cloak themselves in the conservative mantle in an attempt to garner respectability.
I disagree. I myself was for Buchanan. I was for him because I am strongly opposed to illegal immigration and social welfare programs for aliens without documentation here for economic and not political asylum reasons. There may have been others involved in the PJB campaign who were racists or did not want ALL immigration, or can't stand Asians or what not. I don't know if Pat's black running mate, for example, was racists.
I don't care. They (racists) don't represent me and I don't represent them neither does Buchanan. I cannot take responsibility for every stinking Buchanan supporter, nor can any Bush supporters take responsibility for every stinking Bush supporter, some who were for example the Austin 12 homosexuals who would tear down our cultural underpinnings as a nation or corrupt business leaders who have since landed in jail. Don't paint everyone who supported Buchanan as you have just done. You are looking at someone who has none of the attributes you just rattled off. Thanks for your ideas. I mean no anger toward you, just wanted to clarify your charge.
