Theodore's World

Pat Buchanan has slipped a cog, or maybe he's always been nuts. In recent years, leading up to his most recent ridiculous book, he was a media favorite on CNN and MSNBC as a typical conservative,and he still shows up on Hannity. Buchanan's method of discussing issues is to answer questions with non-answers like "well, what we're doing now doesn't work" or questions of his own.

He's also usually wrong in the facts, and obsessed with American "imperialism" and "the neocons". Check out the link to a dispute between Pat and Victor Davis Hanson over Pat's book blaming the enormities of WWII on the British and Americans. He's freaking out of his mind.

His columnn in The American Conservative is just a search for the rabbit pellet in an acre of chocolate cherries, and he always finds it.

I know lots of conservatives and libertarians still take Buchanan seriously because he's careful to pander to some conservative interests, but Fortress America and The Social Gospel are gone forever, and Pat is living in a past that never existed. Conservatives deserve better than this crank.

Buchanan is like too many political commentators. Their egos overrule their reality and integrity. They become so enamored with themselves, they think that whatever they say is gospel. Or they say what they think will $ell.

Pat Buchanan is the conservative's version of Code Pink. He is a nut case, just about on a par with Ron Paul.

Iran has Mahmoud Ahmadinejad a Holocaust denier. The United States has Pat Buchanan a Jew hater and revisionist of the history of Hitler, WWII, and the Holocaust. Pat Buchanan, at best, is delusional. At worst, he suffers from the mental disease "full-of-shititess."

A picture from a previous Theodore's World blog item says it all.

Rhod thank you so much!!!

Thanks for the link and a huge WOW, gosh I like Victor Davis Hanson so much. This is so good!!

Tom, yes, I have been really outraged about his latest book. To re-write history like that and oh wow I really hate that. Plus all the other things he has been saying.

Thanks Tom!

Les, thanks, and thanks for the image too. That one would work for this post too.

Buchanan forgets that Heinrich Himmler's FINAL SOLUTION exterminated over 9 million 'subhumans' at the German, Austrian and Polish Nazi death camps? Soviet Uncle Joe 'Steel' Stalin killed over 50 million enemies of his state from 1930-1950 as well... Pat loves the Berlin Waltz and Berlin Goose Step, ja? FDR wanted no part of the Wehrmacht but Hitler declared war on the US after the Japs bombed Pearl Harbor. Hitler was the Third Reich's Chancellor & Fuhrer and was accountable and responsible for all actions and war crimes against humanity - period!

Darth, well said!!
