POPSSarah Palin: Patrick Buchanan Brigader Well, the G.O.P. has shown it's true colors once again. Racist. Anti-Semitic. Anti-Free Will. I wonder how those Jewish voters who are against Obama will react to Sarah Palin.

POPSMcCain Gambles with Surprise VP Pick John McCain showed he's truly an independent minded leader. He made a surprise pick for VP -- Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin. She will energize conservatives on one hand, and also appeal to independents and women on the other. McCain also shows he's not about to give up in this race for the White House.

POPS"To get America committed to spilling the blood of her sons" McCain foreign policy chief is "a dual loyalist, a foreign agent whose assignment is to get America committed to spilling the blood of her sons for client regimes who have made this moral mercenary a rich man." - Pat Buchanan. McCain, coincidentally has been America's most strident advocate of US support to Georgia.

POPSPat Buchanan:'Georgia Started This Fight, Russia Finished It' Pat Buchanan has it right! Conservatives and republicans in particular should note what he says, instead of Bush. Georgia started this fight -- Russia finished it. Contrary to Bush, McCain, and yes Obama and the parroting MSM, Georgia was the aggressor. Georgia attacked and invaded first, and Russia responded to roll their aggression back. Read the article, he also shows the hypocrisy of Bush's condemnation and propaganda, as even the Democrats follow his false official story again. He also mentions the neocons are behind this agenda against Russia. (Buchanan vindicates my clipmarks on this subject precisely as I commented). Time to wake everyone up to this before the anti-Russia campaign foments more wars.

POPSRussian Dissident Alexander Solzhenitsyn Dead How symbolic as America has also forgotten the warning of this experienced anti-communist who railed against Stalin while the US was preoccupied with Hitler (which Pat Buchanan laments in his new book The Unnecessary War): "The Gulag Archipelago" is a non-fictional account ...great holocaust of our century-- the imprisonment, brutalization and very often murder of tens of millions of innocent Soviet citizens by their own Government, mostly during Stalin's rule from 1929 to 1953. The present generation has hardly heard of this man who warned of the Russian tyranny of his time coming to America: A state of war only serves as an excuse for domestic tyranny. The next war... may well bury Western civilization forever. Hastiness and superficiality are the psychic diseases of the 20th century, and more than anywhere else this disease is reflected in the press. Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

POPSNetanyahu Rushes for Power in Israel, Before Bush's Term is Up "Hurry the elections", i.e. he wants into power NOW. The Likud Party is linked directly to the neoconservatives in America. Netanyahu (who is close friends with Larry Silverstein, the WTC leaseholder) wants power before the change of President in the U.S. in order to start war with Iran, to continue the neocon agenda beyond the Bush administration's term. MARK THIS: If he wins, they will attack Iran immediately, and he is pushing hard to get in before Jan. '09, to control US war policy. Pat Buchanan documented the link earlier: In 1996, neoconservatives currently serving in the Bush administration wrote a policy paper for Israeli right-wing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu . In the policy paper Douglas Feith (currently Undersecretary of Defense), David Wurmser (VP Cheney’s staff) and Richard Perle (Defense Review Board) called for "removing Saddam Hussein from power in Iraq

POPSWar on Iran: Security or Neocon Plan Continued? Pat Buchanan wrote this after Iraq war started but its relevant now with Iran increasingly in the cross hairs. The war theatres were planned well before 9/11, by the neoconservatives and Israel. "Iraq has WMD and wants to attack us"...and now same script with Iran, and people actually believe it! On Sept. 12, Americans were still in shock when Bill Bennett told CNN that we were in “a struggle between good and evil,” that the Congress must declare war on “militant Islam,” and that “overwhelming force” must be used. Bennett cited Lebanon, Libya, Syria, Iraq, Iran, and China as targets for attack. Not, however, Afghanistan, the sanctuary of Osama’s terrorists. How did Bennett know which nations must be smashed before he had any idea who attacked us? Now if this does not make you suspicious about any official justification for war, nothing will. Pat Buchanan as an adviser in Presidential administrations writes with credibility. Read al

POPSAdmiral Mullen is Wrong There are some soldiers that are adamantly against an activist foreign policy. They are individuals that would share the philosophy in this regard with Patrick Buchanan. Foreign policy is an area that falls completely within the purview of the Executive Branch. It would be completely inappropriate for a soldier to "campaign" for one of the candidates because that candidate is less interventionist or more interventionist. No we get to the "elephant in the living room." I am a senior Officer in the United States Army who has attended the senior service colleges. I have served in a multitude of command, instructor and staff positions over two decades.

POPSIs The Media Smitten With McCain? It’s enough to make you lose your dinner, I tell you. Michelle Bernard claims that they are just as exultant over Obama, and Pat Buchanan insists the McCain Media love affair is “over. Done. Gone.” I’m not sure I’m buying that just yet…

POPSBuchanan:"Bush is Woodrow Wilson on Steroids" Largely defends McClellan showing that the Iraq war was based on propaganda and a cover for a war for democracy, Wilsonian in justification. Good analysis by Pat Buchanan who as a former press secretary is most qualified to review it. (He does jab McClellan a bit at beginning, but then justifies him). See video interview with MSNBC embedded at site.

POPSMemorial Day was Decoration Day, Civil War Remembrance
Memorial Day has become Veterans Day II--usurped to cover-up this real Great War, which the MSM does not discuss, because of its implications. (Could the present U.S. government be one of a Union by force, a tyranny, an empire?) Now you only hear alot of talk, and outright lies, about how all soldiers in all wars "fought for our freedom". Pardon me for being intellectually honest--no they all did not! The truth is that since the Civil War, Americans have not been fighting to defend America's freedom but an empirical agenda toward global Democracy. Pat Buchanan is about to complete a new book about WWII called the Unnecessary War, which is sure to stir the fires of the real "historical revisionism" fed to everyone in public schools. The Iraq war is not to defend America's freedom any more than Wilson or Roosevelts. People should use Memorial Day to consider what the Civil War was really about that cost the lives of more than all other U.S. wars combined

POPSPat Buchanan 1971 memo: Use Abortion to Split Catholics, Social Liberals The Nixon White House didn’t enact all of these recommendations, but it would be hard to find a more succinct and unapologetic blueprint for Republican success in the conservative era. “Positive polarization” helped the Republicans win one election after another—and insured that American politics would be an ugly, unredeemed business for decades to come. A strategy that has been very effective, using the citizens of the country as pawns in their power game. Pretending to care about abortion, taxes and welfare - when they could actually care less. As with race, those issues elicit highly emotional responses and well reasoned arguments will not work because of anti-intellectualism fostered by an elite. And the game is still open and the pawns are still playing. Imagine that.

POPSWas WWII Necessary? Yes. Even though I'm a Buddhist. As a pacifist, of course, I believe that killing can never be morally justified, and even while it can be necessitated, we still will suffer the moral consequences of life-taking. However, I would be willing to accept those serious moral consequences for myself in the scenario of stopping the Holocaust. What disturbs me about WWII is that it never would have happened simply to end the Holocaust. In fact, I suspect many allied politicians were sympathetic to Hitler in general, and specifically anti-semetic. Think Lucky Lindy. Could it have been averted? Yes, by not creating a belt of failed states. It wasn't the harshness so much as the indifference, as Germany and Eastern Europe spiraled out of control, despotism was bound to take hold. Irresponsibility made the crimes of the Nazis possible, and now those like Buchanan advocate to even greater global irresponsibility.

POPSIran Not Alone in Proxy Wars, U.S. Doing Same Republican Pat Buchanan uncovers the truth of why Iran MAY be (so he believes, naively methinks) arming militants in Iraq--if you believe the propaganda from Crocker and Patreus. The fact is that the U.S. is arming militants (i.e. terrorists) against Iran , and Buchanan thinks they are just responding in kind. So just who is fighting "proxy wars", especially when the U.S. is fighting all of this for ISRAEL? If there were more republicans like Buchanan and Ron Paul we would not be in wars presently, nor the dollar worthless, gas prices high, and the economy sinking (due to debt spending on war).
