I hardly think Pat Buchanan is a true defender of freedom. He's as bad as the neo-cons, as far as I'm concerned. In particular, he's an economic nationalist, believing government should have authority to dictate to business where it does business and how.
"Barley human beast who need to be chained up"Is actually putting it mildly. Neocons are evil invading rabid dogs who need to be shot. Or at least put in uniform, sent over there, and have the Taliban shoot them.
@TheHomelandDefender 1. Libertarians and Paleoconservatives are not the liberals here... you hack neoconservatives are the liberals. 2. People like Ron Paul, Pat Buchannan and Jack Hunter do not want jihadist and do not like all things terrorist.
Honestly lets see you debate on actual facts rather than Weekly Standard neocon propaganda.
While secularism and communism are two different things, for communists they have historically been closely related. Throughout the Cold War, the Communist Party saw the weakening of traditional sorts of religious influence in American life as essential to the achievement of its domestic goals. The Party's strategy vis-a-vis religion was twofold: one, to promote secularism in the name of church-state separation, and two, to transform religion by making it materialistic and socialistic.
@herbs814 The original neocons did not support Israel because it was "the middle east's only representative democracy," but because it was Israel. Contrary to popular belief, the Israeli state isn't the only "representative democracy" in the region. Politically, Israel is a lot like Turkey, to which the neocons have never shown any special attachment. Their support for Israel was motivated by Zionism, and such sympathy continues to be a major element of neoconservative thought.
Neoconservatives, in the strict original definition of the term, were leftists (many Jewsish) who became attached to conservatism because they were dismayed by the left's abandonment of (or outright hostility towards) our ally, the democratic republic of Israel. When they saw those on the right standing up for Israel they made common cause with the defenders of the Middle East's only representative democracy. This alliance became the means by which they learned many other conservative principles
During the '80s, Reagan bombed Libya, pulled the hell out of Lebanon, and spend only 2-3 months in Grenada, all WITHOUT never-ending occupation, left-wing appeasement, or stupid "pre-emptive" war.
There IS such a thing as being conservative, tough and strong on foreign affairs without being a pansy liberal who bows down and begs to every enemy for peace...
First lets take the liberal out of the republican party and the racisists and get rid of jack hunter, ron paul and pat buchannan who love jihadists and want to see america destroyed and have spent their entire lives hating america and loving all things terrorist.

Are White children just expendable assets to be sacrificed on the altar of multi-racialism?
