Rethinking Pat Buchanan
By Daniel Miessler on October 21st, 2007: Tagged as Politics
I just read an excellent piece on who started this apparent second Cold War we’re witnessing the start of. The interesting bit is that it was written by Pat Buchanan.
Being raised in the Bay Area as a strong liberal I’ve always had a strong aversion to Buchanan. But after reading his recent book about immigration, and now this article, I have to say I’m seeing him in a different light. I didn’t agree with everything he said in his book, but I did with most of it.
I’m liking his apparent allegiance only to his own opinions rather than to one particular camp or another. He’s openly separated himself from the Republican party and many conservatives on numerous issues. This at least tells me that he is worth listening to.
Anyway, definitely check out his analysis of why Putin is acting so “crazy”.
