And I consider myself hyperconservative, yet vociferously reject illogical racism in all it's forms. The book I cited is quite excellent and (perhaps weirdly) never touches upon Buchanan's problems with Jewish people. It's tragic that such a fine mind has crippled its credibility so.

I used to like Pat Buchanan - I have a dog-eared copy of "Right From the Beginning" in my collection, and no, it's not because I gave it to a dog to play with (not recently, anyway). He was bang on when Reagan was President. But as the Great Man slowly ascended into Heaven, Pat slipped into the deep recesses of opportunism and self-idolatory. His run for President on the Reform ticket was the worst example. He has recovered a bit by supporting President Bush in this cycle, but it is a long road back for him to being a true apostle of the Great Man.
