Reading "Where The Right Went Wrong" by Pat Buchanan. Ask me anything.

Guess What Everybody?

I read (part) of this book!!

It came out last year, and I got it at the library and read the first few chapters. I stopped liking it b/c in the end he is still a reactionary but at least he has the cojones to stand up to Bush from w/in the party.

Dazzleman- No, Buchanan really likes Reagan in this book. One of his main themes is how the Bush II Admin. is subverting the Reagan legacy.

I like some of Buchanan's ideas, b/c he doesn't tow the current corrupt GOP line, he is more traditional. In a way he is more like Henry Cabot Lodge than a segregationist. (A stretch I know). Recently in one of my posts I linked to an article Buchanan wrote about how French-Muslims are a threat to that country's future and safety. Call it scare tactics and un-PC if you want but the man is right.

I think you will now be haunted by Henry Cabot Lodge's ghost because you just called him such a grave insult.

I meant no disrespect to Mr. Lodge 

My point was that both he and Buchanan are paleo-conservatives, not neo-cons. At the time I didn't realize that there were 2 Senators named Lodge (same family), one defeated the League of Nations in 1920, his grandson was Nixon's VP candidate in 1960.
