Buchananistas

“Hardly. Buchanan isn't even really a conservative, he's a populist. I strongly disagree with him on many more points than those which I agree with him.”

I didn’t mean it as an insult, but the topics that we have discussed here on the BP, you & Pat are in agreement; that’s why I commented on your quote: “I rarely find myself agreeing with Pat Buchanan, but this time he gets it right."

“First, he believes in government control of economies. He was one of the architects of the Nixon wage and price control disasters of the 1970s. He apparently has a hard time learning from his mistakes because he still defends the action.”

You’re exactly right about the wage & price controls.

“Second, Buchanan is an utter and complete isolationist. The only points I agree with him on in that area are that the Bush Doctrine is complete nonsense and that NAFTA, CAFTA, GATT, and other free trade shams are nothing more than political con games.”

Since those are the points that we’ve discussed here on the BP, that’s why I said you sounded like Pat Buchanan.

“Many of us who disagree with the neo-con interventionist agenda and who see through the lies of the pubbie "Free Trade" scams get called Buchananistas. That's an inevitable outcome of his populism, not of our conservatism.”

I wouldn’t say “Buchananistas” but y’all are in agreement on many of the key issues of the day.
