The allegiance is not hatred of the Jews -- the allegiance is because both groups are alienated by the authoritarian rule of the GOP. The Democrats want their own authoritarianism to be the order of the day, and Pat Buchanan wants his stateless fascism to be the order of the day. Problem is, right now the GOP is the authoritarians ruler, holding the ever-expanding reigns of the state.

Rockwell has the most logical and consistent argument -- I do believe that the American Enterprise Institute, and the group of people that are called the "neoconservatives," have had significant intellectual influence on this administration's policies. I know that your average Republican might find it hard to believe -- but the right has its own ivory tower -- all political movments do, and it has often been said that the conflicts within a society are actually on behalf of opposing intellectual forces.

"Neoconservatives" advocated for increased authoritarianism and large-scale military endeavors -- and are not necessarily against the welfare state --- which Rockwell is against, on all counts.

Rockwell IS a Libertarian, Pat Buchanan IS a paleoconservative and Michael Moore is a liberal leftist (though, contrary to popular vision -- not the extreme left. Moore is neither an anarchist, nor a socialist.)

Buchanan certainly has a history for Jewish defamation, but it's not this which aligns him with the liberals and the libertarians -- it's the fact that right-wing authoritarianism OR neoconservatism butts up against parts of their respective ideologies -- making them turn, mostly in toward Rockwell's position.

It's textbook.

ooops, sorry -- the "textbook" part is the classic "the enemy of my enemy is my friend," condition.
