Unlike anyone else with a public pen, Pat succinctly defines once and for all the differences in what is believed to be American "Conservative" agendas. It is obvious that the predominant voices among FREEPERS are those of the "NEO-CONSERVATIVES." It is NEO-CONSERVATIVES who are on record as being the most vociferous in weapon-rattling assertions, in staunch support of Israel, in advocating to take on militarily all of Israel's enemies - and in most vehement opposition to the PALEO-Conservative position which would oppose such Israel-favoring reaction to the recent terrorist actions. - And Pat Buchanan represents this "paleo - classical" form of CONSERVATISM, which focuses on primary AMERICAN INTERESTS. For this reason NEO-Conservatives are the ones who during the last presidential campaign proclaimed " Pat Buchanan as -- "UN-ELECTABLE!!!" A term by its intent so outrageous that it is in conflict with the very roots of our American system, a term of the most UNDEMOCRATIC and un-fit definition in a free society, regardless whether or not Buchanan would have met my or anyone's standards as a candidate. But never before has the term "UN-ELECTABLE" pre-empted a national campaign. The proclamation of "UN-ELECTABILITY" needs the strongest scrutiny: by WHOSE standards, WHO decides what qualifies "electability !?" I have yet to see NEO-CONSERVATIVES being challenged on this outrageous label - a methodology designed to simply de-qualify a candidate in a system that is designed to let the Nations's People make such decisions - and not a handful of political strategists. Such lack of scrutiny is just one more symptom of our MAINSTREAM MEDIA representing NEO-CONSERVATIVE interests.
The opening article clearly states Pat Buchanan's PALEO-CONSERVATIVE opposition to Israel's cause and effect on our foreign policy, he explains the international hatred that has been triggered by US NEO-CONSERVATIVES' support of the JEWISH STATE and Zionism in general. And this article clearly explains the reason of NEO-Conservatives' passionate rejection of Buchanan - and his PALEO-CONSERVATIVE agenda.
Countries do not ally with each other because they "like" each other or prefer one another. They ally with each other because they have a common interst.
The structure of a country's political regime has nothing to do with whether it has a common interest with us or not. The Cold War is over.
