In a 1977 column, Buchanan said that despite Hitler's anti-Semitic and
genocidal tendencies, he was "an individual of great courage...Hitler's
success was not based on his extraordinary gifts alone. His genius was an
intuitive sense of the mushiness, the character flaws, the weakness
masquerading as morality that was in the hearts of the statesmen who stood
in his path." (The Guardian, 1/14/92)
Well, it might have started WWIII.
You didn't comment
on union appeasing. Why is that?
Hahaha. You neo-cons hate history so much that you don't even learn your own. Your intellectual forefathers, the framers of the "neo-conservative" movement were all Trotsky-ites, to the person. So don't give me that crap about neo-cons being on the right. It's historically inaccurate and intellectually dishonest.
You think the liberals did-down the black man? You should see how the Trotsky-ites treated him. They have blown some opium in your lungs and you are following them around like a puppy dog. But they are the antithesis of "conservatism", which is a word whose meaning is self-evident. Neo-cons only want to conserve the gains of the state and the destruction of our civilization. You met any small-government neo-cons lately?
If you don't want to contribute to the discussion, then shut your big f*cking mouth. I'm sick of personal attacks from people like you.
A complete non-sequitur. "Pay[ing] lip service to the forefathers" and the ME do not naturally flow. Why should anyone pay more than "lip service" to the forefathers? They were men, afterall. It amuses me how some deify them. That's not to take away from the accomplishments they achieved. But they were men. Nothing but men. But you wouldn't know that listening to some people.
While an enlightened group of intellectuals will tolerate debate, the Neo-Cons have a policy of excommunicating any group that threatens their desire for ideological purity, thus fracturing the potential might of a truly Rightwing government.
I know you didn't. Look at FR, for example. If anyone desires ideological purity it's the far-Right! I, for one, am not having any of it.
NR's Bill Buckely excommunicated the Randians, Libertarians, and John Birchers in the '60s, and when Pat was making the most meaningful challenge to the ruling class in 1992, he was wheeled out to call Pat an anti-Semite.
JBS? You mean the ones who find a communist behind every tree? Spare me. "Ruling class?" Now you sound like a Marxist. And what do we have to do with libertarians?
By the way, Buchanan EARNED the label which you hate he has by what he said out of his own mouth. He has no one to blame but himself.
If their is a definable Rightist in this country, it is a person who believes that the current ruling elite needs to be replaces wholesale.
Shibboleth. Cornel West would agree with you about the replacing bit. That's not saying much, believe me.
The far-Right has no use for me and I for damn sure have no use for the far-Right.
This thread is about the article - not about your dossier smear file.
Here we go again.
Your intellectual forefathers, the framers of the "neo-conservative" movement were all Trotsky-ites, to the person. So don't give me that crap about neo-cons being on the right.
I have no "intellectual forefathers." rdb3 speaks for rdb3, and rdb3 alone.
The rest doesn't even deserve a response. But, let me even it out for you. Buchanan, Sobran, Farrakhan, Jackson, Mfume, Bond, and Sharpton all deserve a family ass-whipping, and I'm just the one to do it.
Worthless. All of them.
Agreed.
Uh...nope. Not at all. But it would have legitimized strategic defense a lot faster.
You didn't comment on union appeasing. Why is that?
Reagan did what the law required him to do.
Ever since then, he's referred to Reagan as "Uncle Ron."
I'll BUMP to that!
You don't think much of Reagan, do you?
He just put in a yeoman's job and left office.
Well, I think he was the greatest president
of the century, a great conservative, and
a great man. But that's just me.
