Where Pat Buchanan Went Wrong

[Melissa]

<font color="purple" c>Personally, I think the man is becoming more and more unhinged as the years go on. I wish he'd just crawl under a rock. </font c>

We are not hated for who we are. We are hated for what we do. It is not our principles that have spawned pandemic hatred of America in the Islamic world. It is our policies.

U.S. dominance of the Middle East is not the corrective to terror. It is a cause of terror. Were we not over there, the 9/11 terrorists would not have been over here.

I]f the Chinese [military] buildup appears alarming, even ominous to us, consider how we must appear to the Chinese…How would we react to Chinese bases in Mexico, Cuba, British Columbia, and Novia Scotia “to fight terrorism.”

Ben Johnson's latest piece

Is this man hopped up on goop?

Ben Johnson's latest piece </font>[/quote]Are we talking the same Pat Buchanan? He's definately flipped of late but this doesn't seem like him.

<font color="purple" c>Seriously the thought has occurred to me that perhaps he is on a medication or that is causing him to lose it. Some medications do have those side effects. </font c>

Vioxx?

<font color="purple" c>No, that one just kills you.

I was thinking of something more like propranolol, or prednisone. </font c>

He isn't making much sense, that's true.

Keep in mind, however, that some politicians and even pundits break ranks. They'll either side with the left on some issues or even attack the right altogether.

Newt Gingrich has done it occasionally, McCain does it frequently, and now this guy has gone so far as to write a book with it.

This is normally done on their part to boost their credibility and attempt to break from the 'hardliner' label.

That is my guess. Perhaps he wants the fame and popularity of being a 'moderate' like McCain has. It is sad if their values are sold this cheap however.
