But I believe that all foreign aid should be ended because I, like most Americans, oppose it on principle.

I was ALMOST to the point of completely agreeing with Farah (scary thought indeed!!) until this sentence. I would LOVE to see some stats behind that, but I know I won't, being that it is STILL Joe Farah and WORLDNUTDAILY.

"[T]o suggest that it is appropriate to give away U.S. taxpayer dollars to a terrorist quasi-government of a non-existent state that hates everything the United States stands for defies reason."

No kidding.

[Mr. Mojo]

.....to suggest that it is appropriate to give away U.S. taxpayer dollars to a terrorist quasi-government of a non-existent state that hates everything the United States stands for defies reason.

Pat has his reason -- it hurts Israel. ....and that's all he needs to know.

[CFC__VRWC]

If Pat's managed to push Joe Farah away, he's really off in la-la land.

[elhombrelibre]

I have to wonder if the state of Israel were, say, a black nation, and the terrorists against them were, say, Latins, how much US foreign aid would Pat Buchanan want to give them. It seems to me none. Pat would consider that foolish. So what's Pat's motive in giving US money to the worst terrorist group in the world who are aligned with Iran and Syria? Class? Class? Answer? Anyone?

[Itzlzha]

Yet, Pat Buchanan, who as recently as December 2004 wrote passionately against foreign aid in all its ugly forms, has changed his tune.

(Snip)

What would motivate a man to turn his back on lifelong, principled opposition to that kind of wrong by defending the indefensible idea of aiding our sworn enemies with money picked out of the pockets of hard-working Americans?

Hmm...seems that you can take the man out of the Reich, but you can't take the Dhimmitude out of Buchanan!

Here, Pat...

Up the dosage until you can keep you right arm down!

"Foreign aid is wrong."



I'll second that.

Hamas = Terrorists

What's Pat's DU screenname?

[familyop]

Joe should've dumped the boyo-Nazi to avoid the association with his publication and religion a long time ago. Instead, by the last line in his piece, he wants to salvage the relationship with an incremental step back (and more forward goose steps later, of course).

[Sam Gamgee]

Thank you posters for continuing to post Buchanan related threads. I think it is informative for all to see what a twit and inconsistent girlie man Pat Buchanan is. Pat can't defend himself and this is not the first time he has shown inconsistency. Either you are an indifferent isolationist or you are not. But Pat attempts to pretend to have conservative values by rejecting so called pro-Israel policy while siding with the the Moslem world time and time again. The truth is Pat is on the side of the bad guys in this war on terror.

[Zionist Conspirator]

Let me preface the main point of this column by saying I like Pat Buchanan.

I have always liked Pat Buchanan.

I have always considered him to be a thoughtful, moral man.

I voted for Pat Buchanan in his failed 1992 primary bid against President Bush.

I have defended Pat Buchanan against charges that he was an anti-Semite.

Shame on you. But you know better now, don't you?

Pat Buchanan will betray every "principal" he has in order to be against Jews and Israel. That is the only real "principal" the man has.

This is the bastard who rails and screams about Mexican co-religionists because they are racially alien to North America ("aryan" territory) but then turns around and supports Arabs and moslems everywhere, including making campaign speeches to them promising them all kinds of goodies. "Palaeos" love the "mud" moslems because they kill the race-mixing Jews who are filling aryan America with Catholic Mexicans.

What would motivate a man to turn his back on lifelong, principled opposition to that kind of wrong by defending the indefensible idea of aiding our sworn enemies with money picked out of the pockets of hard-working Americans?

I guess we'll have to ask Pat Buchanan for the answer.

Oh come now. If you don't already know the answer you are way too dense to have anyone's respect, Mr. Farah.

[Barnacle]

Just as I thought, when you read what Buchanan actually wrote, it is logical. I suggest everyone on this thread read the actual article that Buchanan wrote rather than read what people wrote about what he wrote.

In a nutshell, he makes the point that Bush's policies got us in this pickle by saying that they wanted democratic elections, and now that the elections did not go our way, you can't be bad sports at the expense of our enemies making great propaganda hay of it.

Buchanan recommends that rather than cutting off aid, to put the new government on probation. Make the conditions clear so that they lose the aid through their noncompliance, not through our reneging on the deal.

People, read it for yourself! Post number 1 of this thread has a link to it.
