Ted Turner picked Buchanan and Novak as the "faces of conservatism" he chose to feature on CNN. That's all I needed to know to instantly dismiss virtually anything they have ever said.
The Buchananites and their kindred spirits the Perotistas have now segued happily over to the Paulian camp, and are perfectly content to snuggle up with the 911 truthers. I've known a few of these wing nuts in my day and they really are full goose bozos and bug house nuts.
Important caveat to the above: there are good and honest people who have supported all three of those movements I mentioned. I consider them to have been deceived into that support and not people who would tolerate the truthers or other fringe types these candidacies attract. The folks I'm talking about when I use the phrases "Buchananites," "Perotistas," and now "Paulians" are the irrational and ignorant who make up too much of the support these types draw.
I agree with you completely
