Buchanan’s Recommendations:

• A new foreign-defense policy that closes most of the 1000 bases overseas, reviews all alliances, and brings home U.S. troops

Response: This is just brilliant...The world can return to the days of open piracy on the high seas! The Muslim nations will be free to attack Isreal! Bet that's Pat's real motive...but also China and Russia will be free to greatly expand their shpere's of influence in places like the Middle East... Just Brilliant Pat!

• A purge of neoconservative ideology and the “Cakewalk” crowd” from national power.

Response: Boo Hoo... So how are the Buchananite's going to achieve this...I know! They could all form a brown shirt club! That way the country club republicans would want out!

• To avert a second Cold War, the United States should “get out of Russia’s space and get out of Russia’s face,” and shut down all U.S. bases on the soil of the former Soviet Union

Response: See above...I guess Pat thinks Russia and China will fight it out while we sit it out.

• To reach a cold peace in the culture war, Buchanan urges a return to federalism and the overthrow of our judicial dictatorship by Congressionally mandated restrictions on the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court.

Response: He's big on overthrows... Keeps bringing one back to the german model in the 1930's doesn't it.

• To end the trade deficits and save the dollar, Buchanan urges a Hamiltonian solution: a 20% Border Equity Tax on imports, with the $500 billion raised to be used to end taxation on American producers

Response: Economy destroyed. Americans will have work! But inflation will be extreem. Again, sounds like Germany in the 1930's. Pissed off overworked workers must make good brown shirts.

• To prevent America becoming “a tangle of squabbling nationalities” Buchanan urges: No amnesty for the 12-20 million illegal aliens; a border fence from San Diego to Brownsville; Congressional declarations that children born to illegal aliens are not citizens and English is the language of the United States; and a “timeout” on all immigration.

Response: Well we are already a "tangle of squabbling nationalities" by Pat's definition... Once the border is closed off, and no amnesty given, is Pat gonna send out the SS to round up the illegals who are already here?

Developing...

Response: Buchanan writes the Modern Mein Kaumpf. And the useless idiots of the far left are sure to heap praise.
