Editorial See other Editorial Articles Title: Pat Buchanan's Double-Dealing Recurring mental illness plagues the Republican pundit as evidenced by his column on the Democrats' response to the Iraq War Pat Buchanan is a textbook double-mind. He can wax eloquent one moment with scintillating commonsense, and with his next breath deflate his entire case with the most glittering schizophrenia this side of Bedlam. The wisdom of the New Testament teaches that "The double-minded man is unstable in all his ways." The double-minded man can't fight effectively, can't keep his word, can't be trusted. In his column of April 10, "What a Lack of Courage Cost" (http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=55113) Mr. Buchanan writes: "The Democratic Congress thus faces this April a humiliating climb-down, and all because of a Democratic Senate's vote in October 2002 – Tom Daschle, Reid, Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, John Edwards, Joe Biden, Chris Dodd all assenting – to give George Bush his blank check for war. 'If I had known then what I know now, I would never have voted for the war,' John Edwards assures us of the most important vote that he, Hillary, Biden, and Dodd ever cast – the votes that ensured America would commit the greatest strategic blunder of their lifetimes. "This is not to absolve President Bush of culpability for what historians will surely call 'Bush's War,' or the neoconservatives who howled for war on Iraq from the moment the planes hit the towers, and who had plotted and propagandized for war on Iraq for years before 9/11. Yet Democratic courage in October 2002 might have stopped the stampede, for Democrats were the last, best hope of the opponents of war. But they failed the nation." Buchanan's analysis of the stunning failures of the Democrats is right-on. It is also a stunning case of megalomania, for it was none other than Patrick J. Buchanan who, in 2004, after witnessing Bush's Iraq war in all its sanguinary senselessness for more than nineteen months, got on his hands and knees and begged Bush to take him back, comparing himself to the penitent pirate Lafitte: "Bush is right on taxes, judges, sovereignty, and values. Kerry is right on nothing. The only compelling argument for endorsing Kerry is to punish Bush for Iraq. But why should Kerry be rewarded? "...There is a final reason I support George W. Bush. A presidential election is a Hatfield-McCoy thing, a tribal affair. No matter the quarrels inside the family, when the shooting starts, you come home to your own. When the Redcoats approached New Orleans to sunder the Union and Jackson was stacking cotton bales and calling for help from any quarter, the pirate Lafitte wrote to the governor of Louisiana to ask permission to fight alongside his old countrymen. 'The Black Sheep wants to come home,' Lafitte pleaded. It's time to come home. --Pat Buchanan, "Coming Home," November, 2004. With his ringing endorsement of Bush in 2004, Buchanan "failed the nation," but he's banking on the same notoriously short-term American memory that Bush depends upon, to put across a brazenly hypocritical attack on the Democrats in 2007 that represents misdirection reminiscent of a stage magician. Buchanan, like Joseph Ratzinger, the current "conservative" pope of Rome, both serve the Cryptocracy by compounding the confusion and false flag operations that are central to the processing of humanity. Pope Benedict XVI operates in the same schizoid realm as Buchanan. Benedict was praised to the skies by "conservative" Catholics for having last month condemned the liberal Catholic proposition that the "seeds of the Word" can be found in the pagan religions. Conservatives swooned at Benedict's "tough stand" against this "moral relativism," even wondering whether the condemnation represented the first move in an eventual papal repudiation of Vatican Council II itself. Wow! But while he is making this stirring profession, Pope Benedict is fast-tracking the canonization of John Paul II, the pontiff who praised the Voodoo religion, when he met with its high priests in the African nation of Benin, on the grounds that Voodoo contains "the seeds of the Word"! ("L'Osservatore Romano," February 10, 1993). Benedict's condemnation of "Seeds of the Word" pagan ecumenicism while proposing its very own papal proponent for sainthood, is more than just incompetence. It is a sub-rosa double-dealing mockery of the kind most often found in the Occult -- the horse laugh of lordly initiates having a joke at the expense of amnesiac, never-learn-a-thing peasants. Both Buchanan and Benedict are double-dealers. They constitute the fake opposition. They are attack dogs leashed on a chain of gold as part of the Videodrome's carnival attractions. It didn't used to be this way. In times past, to qualify as an opposition political or religious leader, a man had to speak with consistent conviction and hew to those convictions in good times and bad. His record was checked and deviation from stated principles resulted in loss of credibility and drastic erosion of popular support. Nothing of the kind has befallen Black Sheep Buchanan or Pope Benedict Arnold. The former is still highly regarded as an oracle of red meat paleo-conservatism, and the latter is revered as the leader of the eleventh hour rally of the West against the forces of secularism and the barbarians at the gates. In our time, nutcases in ermine robes, accompanied by the fanfare of media trumpets, contradict their principles and misdirect their followers time after time, in perpetuity, and continue to be lionized as crusader knights in the war on cosmic evil.

Pat Buchanan is unique among Republican spokespeople in that he occasionally tells the truth and doesn't promote the party line. However, he's still a unrepentent Nixon spawn, and never forget that.
Buchanan is no good. he endorsed Bush for re-election just before the 2004 election. can't trust a word he says. But he makes millions of dollars each year. compare and contrast with Paul Craig Roberts who can't be published anywhere in mainstream media, but will give it to you straight.
Galatians 3:29 And if ye [be] Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.
Buchs is a tepid coward and I have no respect for him or his magazine.
Kerry was for the surge in 2004. That is he wanted to increase troop levels in Iraq. Where was the opposition? If there is no opposition you might as well vote for Nader or for either the Republican or Democratic side of that two headed coin.
The Truth of 911 Shall Set You Free From The Lie
Mr.Buchanan is a professional politician who makes tactical decisions as to what is best for advancing the agenda he represents. I don't really understand that point of this article other than to take down one of the only voices that occasionally stumbles upon the truth in Big Media. I do believe he is a patriot, even if I find his version of nationalism to be, not my thing.
Buchanan hasn't had much to with Am Con Mag since the first couple of months. McConnell runs the show as the editor and has done a darn good job getting Steve Sailer and the War Nerd into the lexicon of conservative thought for 30-somethings. With Ron Unz now the owner, it may even become 'influential', and while politicians who make a living in DC are bound to frustrate us, he has mapped a course that allows the anti-War right a potential seat at the table should Hagel run, and if not, we'll try again. Tactically speaking, we need to work on our institutions in a decentralized manner and while we will often disagree with our friends, we should at least acknowledge tactical differences of opinions, rather than ditch friends or even simple rank opportunists.
