Pat Buchanan: U.S. Pays the High Price of Empire

Los Angeles Times ^ | 09/18/2001 | Patrick J. Buchanan

[PRND21]

I could have guessed who wrote this.

And I could have guessed who would have commented. lol

[Greg Weston]

It must be muddled because I never said I was a Buchanan supporter. I do agree 100% with his editorial however. You would be smart to heed it as well. Your kind of interventionist foreign policy has failed America miserably. Go Pat Go! Keep speaking the truth in the face of those who have failed to protect America!

[Joe Hadenuf]

"Pat is a bigger anti-freedom terrorist than the totality of all the illegal mexicans in the country".

And it was predictable who would agree with this pathetic statement. lol

[eskimo]

That's great...Pat never did seem to learn that lesson. Glad a seven year old could.

Oh now, those who haven't learned the lesson themselves should not fault others.

[Luis Gonzalez]

Hey Joe!

Defending Nazis as usual.

"[Hitler was] an individual of great courage, a soldier's soldier... [and] a political organizer of the first rank."
-- Pat Buchanan

[Greg Weston]

So Luis, what is your opinion of Hitlers military service during WW1? Please let us know between your foolish shouting.

[skeeter]

Look who's talking. Remember your last Tuesday post to me? Pipe down, Patsie.

The one where I said you make me laugh? You do.

Your are now accusing me of supporting Nazis? That's really pathetic Luis. A new low Luis. Your credibiliy is now completely gone.

Basically, your attitude smacks of Neville Chamberlain, who dismissively abandoned Czechoslovakia as a "far away place we know little about". As it turned out, Hitler wasn't done once he'd taken the Czechs, and Britain found itself on the back foot when war did finally come.

It is very easy these days to put all the blame on Chamberlain, but it took about 10 months of work by the Foreign Office folks and the Anglo-Saxon media to work up the masses against the "monster Czechs" who were discriminating (cracking down) against "ethnic Germans" in Czechoslovakia who were only "fighting for more rights", including the right to use only their language, etc.

As usual, The Times etal. pulled through and Chamberlain was widely acclaimed as a hero (for a while).

>>Hard to do once all the civilian agencies have been disarmed, eh not?<<

I'm not aware of this being a problem. From MY point of view there are too damn many gooberment clerks being armed,while the gooberment is trying to disarm American citizens.

>>I fear whichever way we wiggle, the only result will be further erosion of our rights.<<

Here is something we agree on. We need to watch the right as closely as we watch the left when it comes to this. Both seek total political and cultural domination.

>>Additionally, I disagree with Cheney's position that it is justifiable to employ "unsavory" characters.<<

Not me! I've always believed in using the best tool available for the job. Then again,I have been called a "unsavory character" myself,so I might be a little biased.

BAHAHAHAHA!!! Was that before he sold out his abortion stance to get some Reform party money?

And.... don't forget that class act he picked to be his VP running mate....

[CWOJackson]

"Oh now, those who haven't learned the lesson themselves should not fault others."

That must be why you haven't pointed out Pat's BS...good for you.

[Willie Green]

Once again you prove that you're an ethnocentric bigot who quotes Buchanan out of context.

[MadIvan]

Well the Establishment was wrong, Churchill was right. And Churchill got us out of the mess.

Appeasement is a bad idea - for forever.

Regards, Ivan

Perhaps what I like most about conversing with children is that it reminds me of my youth.

[Buchanan4prez]

When did you serve? Did you volunteer like I did? I'd be proud as a Georgia Peach to fight with Mr. Buchanan. Pat is America's Braveheart. He'd keep fightin til hell froze over, then he'd keep fightin on the ice. Go Pat Go!!! America First, Globalist never!

[Luis Gonzalez]

Willie?

Would that be short for Wylhelm?

[Luis Gonzalez]

Hey Joe, you ain't light in the loafers are you?

That would make me nervous, with you following me around and all...

[Luis Gonzalez]

Pat avoided the draft, never served.

Stayed out of the army, read how here.</a href>
