Pat Buchanan went soooo far to the right, that he went 'round the bend' and landed in the far left looneyland.

Would have helped if he had actually been conservative.

Instead, TAC caved in on race, without even putting up a fight, and its foreign affairs position, rather than intelligent isolationism or neo-isolationism...

There is no such thing as intelligent isolationism. It would bring the country to a halt if we'd listened to Buchanan.

As well, given this country's love for Israel, I think Buchanan only appealed to anti-Semites like himself.

Agree totally. It was at times indistinguishable from The Nation both in content and format.

Angry guy, twice slaps at National Review, the nation's one true, great, enduring, conservative magazine.

Other than that, the angry guy is just more of the usual from his ilk.

The magazine was just so much sharper in its original German.

Translations are never as good.

Less than one percent of less than one percent is a crappy market target.

Millions of Americans, including many white Americans, have been mad as hell for years about what passes for “conservative” journalism and political debate in this country.

Gack! What was the point of using the qualifier "including many white Americans"? And then the author praises the truly racist and vile American Rennasance site!

It was the first major conservative magazine since National Review, almost fifty years earlier, that was founded not to curry favor with the powerful, but to criticize them, and seek to change their minds.

He forgot the American Spectator.

Good riddance.

Buchanan is not an American conservative in the sense of someone who wishes to conserve the American Founding, but an analog of the European 'blood and soil' conservative.

The "paleo-neocon wars" was a vacuous name-calling and issue-avoiding 'debate'. TAC invested heavily in it to their loss.
