VDARE.com: 06/12/08 - The 'Good War' and the Terrible Peace I wouldn't discount Pat Buchanan. He sounds more like a man who doesn't intend to waste his final years.

I don't. But I have meant to write this before. It's WORK because it's so hard to explain to most people.
Some people in hard core politics remain thin-skinned. They are the ones like the Clintons who are establishment operatives and are used to being cuddled from all respectable sides. When Bill Clinton caught it for Lewinsky and lately with Obama he went to pieces.
Pasty-line support saved him the first time. After taking on another establishment operative, Obama, he's looked upon as an old kook.
I jump all over Pat but he has had that before. I've criticized YOU more than I ever bothered with Clinton.
Charles Krauthammer was just favorably quoted in the liberal "This Week" as pointing out that, now that the USSR has fallen, socialists have become environmentalists. If you haven't seen me say that over and over you haven't been reading BUGS.
As I have said many, many times, I put my ideas here and expect them to be USED. I call it The Idea Chain.
On the other hand one of my functions is to criticize those who DO make a difference. I don't jump on a standard and packaged establishment operative the way I do Pat Buchanan. I also don't spend my life criticizing the spelling of incurably retarded children.
I was a senior staffer. I got PAID to notice what my boss did wrong more than what he did right. I was nicer to people who PAID me, but the same rule applies.
