Pat Buchanan has for years been such a virulent opponent of Israel that he has frequently been accused of anti-Semitism, and this column condemning Benjamin Netanyahu for supposedly interfering in America’s internal affairs by opposing the Iran deal is not going to erase that impression. The paleocon Right hates Israel with such abiding passion that it is increasingly self-contradictory: for a small government advocate like Buchanan defending Barack Obama and tacitly supporting a deal that threatens not just Israel, but the U.S. as well, manifests a moral myopia of catastrophic immensity.
But it’s no surprise. I’ve noted before how the paleocons over at Buchanan’s American Conservative have embraced the hard Left’s invention of “Islamophobia” and even come out in favor of submitting to violent intimidation and kowtowing to the foes of the freedom of speech. If they’re the opposite end of the political spectrum from the hard Left, the ends are meeting.
And now Pat Buchanan pretends that Barack Obama, who has shown himself again and again to have the attitude and assumptions and sensibilities of a Marxist internationalist, is an old-school President like Truman or Ike who only makes deals with other nations with America’s best interests at heart. That’s some serious hatred of Israel, to make Pat Buchanan pick up the pom-poms for a far-Left statist. But lines are being redrawn all over the place these days.
“How to Seal the Iran Deal,” by Patrick J. Buchanan, The American Conservative, August 7, 2015:
In his desperation to sink the Iran nuclear deal, Bibi Netanyahu is taking a hellish gamble.
Israel depends upon the United States for $3 billion a year in military aid and diplomatic cover in forums where she is often treated like a pariah state. Israel has also been the beneficiary of almost all the U.S. vetoes in the Security Council. America is indispensable to Israel. The reverse is not true.
Yet, without telling the White House, Bibi had his U.S. ambassador arrange for him to address a joint session of Congress in March—to rip up the president’s Iran nuclear deal before it was even completed.
The day the deal was signed, using what the Washington Post calls “stark apocalyptic language,” Bibi accused John Kerry of giving the mullahs a “sure path to a nuclear weapon” and a “cash bonanza of hundreds of billions of dollars … to pursue its aggression and terror.”
Bibi has since inspired and led the campaign to get Congress to kill the deal, the altarpiece of the Obama presidency. Israel Ambassador Ron Dermer, a former Republican operative now cast in the role of “Citizen Genet,” has intensively lobbied the Hill to get Congress to pass a resolution of rejection.
If that resolution passes, as it appears it will, Obama will veto it. Then Israel, the Israeli lobby AIPAC, and all its allies and auxiliaries in the think tanks and on op-ed pages will conduct a full-court press to have Congress override the Obama veto and kill his nuclear deal.
Has Bibi, have the Israelis, considered what would happen should they succeed? Certainly, there would be rejoicing in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, and Bibi would be crowned King of Capitol Hill. But they will have humiliated an American president by crushing him by two-to-one in his own legislature. Such a defeat could break the Obama presidency and force the resignation of John Kerry, who would have become a laughing stock in international forums.
The message would go out to the world. In any clash between the United States and Israel over U.S. policy in the Middle East, bet on Bibi. Bet on Israel. America is Israel’s poodle now.
With the Gulf nations having joined Britain, France, Germany, China and Russia in backing the deal, Israel is isolated in its opposition. And, two weeks ago, Kerry warned that if Congress rejects the deal, “Israel could end up being more isolated and more blamed.”
Hardly an outrageous remark. Yet, Israel’s ex-ambassador to the U.S. Michael Oren fairly dripped condescension and contempt in his retort: “The threat of the secretary of state who, in the past, warned that Israel was in danger of being an apartheid state, cannot deter us from fulfilling our national duty to oppose this dangerous deal.”
But this is not Israel’s deal. It is our deal, and our decision. And Israel is massively interfering in our internal affairs to scuttle a deal the president believes is in the vital interests of the United States. When the U.S. and Israel disagree over U.S. policy in the Mideast, who decides for America? Them or us?
Why does Barack Obama take this? Why does John Kerry take this?…

I recall Pat Buchanan’s Arab News column in which he suggested US conservatives side with Islam over Hillary Clinton to win on social issues. I quit listening to him after that.
Beagle says
In pertinent part, Pat Buchanan in 2004:
“If conservatives reject the “equality” preached by Gloria Steinem, Betty Friedan, NARAL and the National Organization for Women, why seek to impose it on the Islamic world? Why not stand beside Islam, and against Hollywood and Hillary?”

Feel free to go to Raqqa Syria and stand with Islam, Pat. I’ll be behind you, way behind.
spot on says
We need to be reminded every once in a while that Pat is indeed an anti-Semitic. His isolationist views are the same old “head in the sand” philosophy that we all know too well.
Bush screwed up the Middle East with his squishy sophomoric ideas of trying to impose liberty on people who didn’t want it and intently teach this to their young in Madrasses. Obama intentionally made a bigger mess, Bush didn’t intend harm but Obama did. Either of them would say that the public (perception) demanded they do it. They would say it was the right thing to do at the time.
Reagan had the right idea. He helped whoever was losing in the ME. This kept these barbarians in check as they fought each other. Obama now brings the barbarians to our home so we can fight them personally. Nice going, Obama. (sarc.)

Pat Buchanan is a virulent pecker. It’s a wonder they still keep trotting his grizzled rear out from Madam Tussaud’s Despicable Speechwriters Museum. Seeing him on FOX is always a low point on Hannity’s show. His seamy presence is always uncalled for.
EYESOPEN says
Frankly, I thing Buchanan is suffering from senile dementia – and a severe case of anti-Semitism. The alternative to the Usurper-in Chief’s plan is NOT war – or at least it doesn’t have to be. Yes, most assuredly I would come down on Buchanan like white on rice for this nonsense.
An excellent analysis of the situation is penned by William F. Jasper in “The New American”, entitled “Obama’s Nuclear Iran Deal: CFR Globalists vs. Sovereignty & Constitution”

This virulent antisemite stayed an antisemite! Even though he does not like Obama, Pat Buchanan’s anti-semitism trums everything else…safety of America, sanity in judgment regarding genocidal ayatollahs, etc.Why is anybody listening to this nasty old gaga?
jewdog says
This guy is merely one example of the crowd that hates Israel no matter what happens. He stands out in America as a bigot, but he’s the norm in Europe, the continent that has hated and demonized Jews since Roman days.
Bamaguje says
Buchanan is a vile anti-Semitic. He even wrote a book lambasting WWII Allies for warring against Hitler – “The unnecessary war.” He blamed the Allies (not Hitler) for WWII.
And since Hitler couldn’t complete his holocaust of Jews, Buhchanan now wants Iran’s “death to America” Mullahs to finish the job. Hence he has repeatedly shilled for Iran’s nuclear program.
In the American Conservative article (which was also published on Human Events – http://humanevents.com/2015/08/07/obama-v-bibi-fight-to-the-finish/), Buchanan disingenuously tries to obfuscate the issue by framing it as Israel-vs-America, instead of what it really is – Obama vs America/Israel.
As the vile antiSemite conveniently refuses to notice, several of Obama’s fellow Democrats have also rejected the deal, because it is bad for America.
Who does Pat think the ICBMs Obama is allowing the “death to America” Mullahs to develop are for? They don’t need ICBMs to reach Israel, but to deliver nukes to the “great Satan.”
And the nuke deal is not America’s “internal affairs” as Buchanan erroneously posits. It impacts on other Middle east nations (Israel and the Gulf Arab nations), and the world for that matter… because the integrity of Nuclear Proliferation Treaty is at stake.
The nuke deal negotiations were called p5+1 talks for a reason, because they involved 5 permanent members of UN Security council and Germany.
So no, this is not strictly America’s “internal affairs”, otherwise Obama wouldn’t have submitted the deal to UN for approval.
If other UN member countries get to vote on the issue, why shouldn’t Israel that is directly threatened by the deal not have a say?
IQ al Rassooli says
Excellent points of view Bamaguje
Only ONE item should forever be corrected:
There is NO Anti Semitism. There is ONLY Anti Jews.
The Assyrians, Babylonians, Greeks, Romans, Arabs, British, Europeans and Nazis were (and continue to be) Anti Jews especially since in the 20th & 21st centuries the ARABS are Semites and no group is against them!
Anti Semitism is an expression created in the late 19th century to differentiate between the indigenous Europeans and the Jews from the Middle East
It is Jew hatred NOT Semitic hatred
IQ al Rassooli
Kafir & Proud!
Bamaguje says
Agreed that some non-Jewish peoples are also Semites.
But in common usage, “antiSemitism” usually refers to Jew hatred.
pennant8 says
Thank you, I was trying to compose something along the same lines. Anti-Semite is an esoteric, tired, worn out phrase used by people to try and smooth the rough edges of the phrase “Jew-hater.” That’s all Buchanan is now, and always has been – a virulent Jew hater.
Linda Rivera says
I’m British, English. That does NOT make me a Jew-hater. Being British does NOT MAKE ME A JEW-HATER. Why am I slandered because I’m British? British leaders are definitely Jew-haters. That does not mean the British people are Jew-haters.
Israel is the most special nation on earth. The Jews are a very special people who God has used to bless humanity. May our Precious, Wonderful God bless and protect Israel and the Jewish people always.
No power on earth will ever be able to extinguish the light of re-born Israel. Israel’s bright light will shine forever.
Jay Boo says
Even conservative Pastor John Hagee has been known on occasion to regurgitate political motivated correctness while promoting one of his books. Some right wing conservative preachers are motivated by shifting political winds rather than defense of Israel against Muslim aggression. In fairness though Some Jewish leaders in the US seem to enjoy with schadenfreude delight, the assault on conservative Christians and may be colluding with the Muslim enemy as well.
carpediadem says
The conservative and other types of Christians are doing an excellent job of selling out fellow Christians and joining with Marxists in the assault on America. Don’t try blaming the Jews for Christian political idiocy, we see right thru you.
Gea says
Actually, it is liberal Christians, such as Quakers, Presbyterians, Unitarian and others who refuse to see the facts about Islam and terrorism, who are condemning Israel. They do it under excuse of “protecting human rights of poor Palestinians’ as many of them had bought into Muslim propaganda and cannot see further then their noses.
Many conservative Christians stand firmly with Israel as only in Israel Christians, Bahia’s. and even Muslims are safe from jihadis… The Israeli Christians refused to be called “Arab Christians” as they identity with Israel and had joined the army as they see that it is the Jews who protect them from virulent Muslims in surrounding Muslim occupied countries.
gravenimage says
Pat Buchanan stands up for Obama against that mean Netanyahu
…………………….
Generally, one of the few slight mitigating elements of Pat Buchanan’s isolationist stance is that this means he also opposes entanglements like this appallingly suicidal deal with Iran.
But the above just shows that Pat Buchanan is such a thoroughgoing antisemite that he is willing to endorse a deal that exposes us to a nuclear Iran screaming “Death to America”, just so long as he can condemn Israel in the process.
The fact is that Benjamin Netanyahu cares *far more* about not just Israel but about America than Pat Buchanan does.
Westman says
Pat may be getting a disease often discussed in gerontology.
I suspect it is Israel that is getting tired of the poodle role. In the past it could afford to bend to Washington’s interests. This time it is a matter of survival at the hands of a despot who has declared the annihilation of Israel as his objective.
Just a few nuclear bombs could end Israel while Israel’s entire arsenal would cripple but not end a country(Iran) 75 times its own size.
How Israel responds to the Ayatollah’s nuclear ambitions is dependent on Israel’s confidence that the US will act in a definitive way to stop those ambitions in a manner that demands compliance. Would you stake your life on the current American administration? Would you have a choice?
If Israel loses confidence in Iran’s ill-defined compliance and attacks Iran’s nuclear sites, will the US help? Will it have a choice?
Wellington says
It should also be kept in mind that Buchanan has blamed Britain for entering both world wars and has blamed Poland for not giving Hitler Danzig (Gdansk) and not forming a German-Polish alliance against the Soviet Union, actually maintaining (get this) that Hitler was sincere in his goodwill towards Poland.
gravenimage says
Thanks for the reminder, Wellington. Pat Buchanan is an execrable human being, and no defender of American values.
Rob says

Lucretius says
After reading the entire article at American Conservative, I saw not one sentence arguing how this Iran deal is good for America. Foreign policy matters are expressed entirely in terms of clashing ego, not a whit in terms of national self-interest or in the furtherance of American ideals of individual liberties, freedom of press and religion, limited, moderate republican self-government, secure property rights, peaceful commerce and so on. BTW, in the article not seen in this JW excerpt, Buchanan writes
“Lest we forget, Ike told his wartime colleague, Prime Minister Anthony Eden, to get his army out of Suez or he would sink the British pound. Ike then told Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion to get his army out of Sinai or face U.S. economic reprisals. Eden and Ben-Gurion did as they were told. That was an America respected by friend and foe alike.”
According to a video featuring Daniel Hannan at the YAF, just before his death Eisenhower said “this was the single greatest mistake of my presidency. By failing to back Britain against Nasser, I opened the door to problems which the middle east is now suffering from.” See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zq-TGd3t0O0 from 13:24 to 13:58. (JW readers might also want to hear Hannan’s response to a question about how to handle “radical Islam” which runs from 36:46 to 43:30.) It seems Buchanan’s hero was able to see more in foreign affairs than simply who’s kowtowing to whom.
Westman says
In Daniel Hannan’s address he speaks of how 400 million Muslim volunteer soldiers of india came to the support of Britain in WWI when the TOTAL population of India was no more than 400 million. Then he omits the part about Islam causing so much trouble in India that Pakistan was created to get it out of India; which explains why only 1 million volunteered(he says) for WWII(wonder about that number).
He also spoke of a devout Muslim legislator that he knows who must not represent any militants because he got elected! Please add a little more information such as – what percentage of the legislator’s constituency is Muslim?
He speaks of Militant Ideology but seems to be unaware that it comes directly from the Quran and Hadith or wishes to hide that knowledge.
He admits that maybe 1% of Muslims are causing problems and then asks if it is fair to judge all Muslims by the actions of the 1%? A handy straw-man diversion since it is the Ideology of Islam, not Muslims that that is being weighed.
Another Dhimmy for Islam, making certain not to miss out on the gravy train while it lasts. Leaders are always a danger to the general populace because they are deemed to be wiser simply because of their tenacity and confidence in declaring themselves fit leaders with thick skins. The best actor wins.
When Pliny the Younger found himself not knowing yet what to do as ash rained down from Vesuvius, he observed: “We were followed by a panic-stricken mob of people wanting to act on someone else’s decision in preference to their own (a point in which fear looks like prudence), who hurried us on our way by pressing hard behind in a dense crowd.”
Unfortunately, the crowd will follow the politicians, even to their death.
Thomas says
We are all finished. There is no stopping Islam. Our leaders love the jihadist and hate Israel and the white man. The goal is one Islamic world and anyone who tries to interfere will be destroyed. Just look at what is happening all over the world. People who speek out against Islam will be prosecuted at first. When Islamic leaders have more power in the west nonmuslims will be killed.
Jay Boo says
Thomas
Your white flag of surrender is showing.
You forget that Islam is extremely porous and vulnerable
Islam always needs enemies. Without enemies Islam withers.
This includes other Muslims.
1400 years the same process.
Islam is much like explosive diarrhea and fermenting vomit.
Jack Diamond says
Never surrender. Man up, Thomas. Don’t take counsel of your fears. Spit in their eye.
This war has a long long way to go. Courage remains the most needed virtue. And remember,
this enemy is a coward when faced down.

In the 1930s many in the West–including “leaders” in politics and the press–downplayed the danger of Fascism and often even spoke of it approvingly, all while excoriating those who tried to warn of the threat.
It’s a good thing that Winston Chrurchill and other prescient and brave people didn’t crumble. They kept trying to educate good people, and eventually the free West *did* oppose Fascism.
Here’s the great man on this very subject:
“Never give in, never give in, never, never, never, never—in nothing, great or small, large or petty—never give in except to convictions of honor and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.”
This stands as true today as it did over seventy years ago, Thomas. Don’t give up!

mortimer says
Common sense suggests it is unwise to give massive amounts of money to a government that demands genocide and practices ethnic cleansing and religious intolerance, while at the same time creating and financing terrorism.
Why would the US hand over billions to a government that openly calls for its destruction?
Handing more power to a megalomaniac government like that of Iran contradicts common sense.

This only shows how antisemitism eventually completely deranges those affected by it. Pat would stand with anti-Christian Islamic fundamentalist totalitarians, pretending (badly) that he is doing so only out of love of the United States, which those anti-Christian Islamic fundamentalist totalitarians would gladly destroy. Antisemitism has made him mad.
olog-hai says
This certainly seals the deal with respect to Pat being a liberal. What a shock he’s going to have when he does see that his Islamic financiers do cause WWIII.
Definitely time to retire the misnomer “paleoconservative”. Nothing conservative about them.
IQ al Rassooli says
Pat Buchanan and Jew hatred should not shock anyone who has followed his articles for decades
What is shocking is the fact that most Europeans who claim that the Holocaust was only a German deed when in reality the Nazis could not have achieved their extermination of the Jews and others without the complicity of the French, Italians, Hungarians, Romanians, Poles, Ukrainians etc
Just ponder the current events in Europe. Europeans HATE Jews MORE than they Fear Muslims!
The Jews of Europe are LESS than .5% while the Muslims are at least 8% yet Jew hatred is prevalent in most European countries.
While it is totally RATIONAL to fear the recently arriving Muslims who NEVER Integrate, it is totally IRRATIONAL to fear Jews who integrate and have been part of the Fabric of Europe for over 2000 years
15 million Jews worldwide (0.18%) are blamed for many of the ills of humanity while 1.5 billion Muslims (20%) are absolved of the mass murders of Christians and others committed in the name of their god Allah
Pat is correct that the Iran deal should be as much as possible to the advantage of the USA but he is wilfully and with malice aforethought ignoring the FACT that the Ayatollahs’ publicly declared intention (in the UN of all places) is to EXTERMINATE Israel and he does not want Israel to do or say anything to protect her own survival.
Pat would rather support the so called Palestinians who are in the process of ERADICATING the presence of Christians in both Gaza & the Palestine Authority than give any credit for Israel whose Christians are now joining the IDF because they know where their loyalty should be; Not with the Muslims who are slaughtering them
No wonder he sympathised with the Nazis
As an Iraqi and my mother tongue is Arabic, watching Arab TV stations, almost each of them insults, ridicules and laughs at Obama and his foreign policies. There is NO respect for America in most of the world today because of Obama the Muslim Traitor in Chief in the WH

The Jews (Israel) have been turned into the worlds ‘untouchables’, almost like a caste system.

John C. Barile says
I think that Pat Buchanan’s animus against the Jews is rooted in resentment at the restoration of Jewish sovereignty, and antagonism against the Jewish state, precisely because it is Jewish. I think an older generation is wedded to the view that “The scepter has passed from Judah forever”–that the Jews ought to be humiliated and subjugated for having rejected the Christ. I hate to say it, but those who rail against “replacement theology” are right.

Pat, for decades you have used your Anti-Israel posture to cover for your Anti–Semitism. Be that as it may your problem with that will grow exponentially in the afterlife. As far as your new found heroes of Americanism our Semi Marxist President and Anti-Vietnam war Secretary working with those who were working with our enemies; these are the Men of your ilk? A treaty not following the normal course of Constitutional process of ratification perverted by Obama himself. Is this what your conservatism stands. This is not my brand of being a Conservative. Do you want an Obama/Kerry to be the laughing stock of the World (they are already old man Ill publicly debate you on this) or do you want safeguard the US and Allies in the ME? You are delusional delusional if you think the Gulf States Saudi Arabia Jordan or Israel are at all ok with a treat leaving Iran with nuclear capability. Only you see Israel as a thorn. Wake up you old fool and don’t let your Anti-Semitism get in the way. Iran is developing an ICBM to reach the US. The US Obama knows the endgame is a Nuke. Iran seeks a long range sub fleet to reach North America. Iran is entering into strategic relationships to set up bases in South America especially Venezuela to reach the US by Missile. As a conservative American you should shake BiBis hand and thank him. As far as interference Obama sent 200 operatives to Israel before the last election to work to defeat BiBi. In other words we went to an Ally and tried to play with their Ballot Box. This is interference. Obama has no legal barriers here or there. BiBi, he made a speech just like Churchill. This is real interference. He didn’t force them to believe anything. Are they weak minded? It’s the paranoia of someone at the top …

What Would Mr. Buckley Think of Mr. Trump?
Limbaugh: “…..I think what Buckley would think of Trump? Probably for lessons there, take a look at what Buckley did to Pat Buchanan. Pat Buchanan had written a couple of columns that were thought by many to be anti-Semitic in his references to Israel and the AIPAC, the lobbying group.
And Buckley did write a piece saying that he, after careful thought, did consider Buchanan to be anti-Semitic in those instances. Buckley, of course, succeeded in excommunicating the John Birch Society from the conservative movement and so forth. So my guess is that Buckley would be amused and would get as much out of it as he could, but, at some point, he would probably denounce Trump….
Limbaugh continues:
Buchanan writes: “Trump should tell the GOP, in the neocons’ favorite phrase, ‘All options are on the table.’ And that includes the Samson Option. Trump should tell the GOP that if it disrespects him and his followers, then he is prepared to do as did the biblical hero Samson, when, blinded and mocked by the Philistines, he pushed the pillars apart and brought the temple down upon the heads of them all.”
Okay. That’s Buchanan advising Trump to stay in, and if he has to, to destroy the Republican Party in the process, those Philistines them. Right…..

Edward says
Benjamin Netanyahu is one of the very few Europeans and in the ME that agrees that Islam is “NOT A Religion of Peace”. America’s Islam free sovereign future depends on electing a president with Bibi’s mindset.
I know it would be controversial if I say that I’d vote for Bibi, but he has no native ties to America to be elected.
As for a serious thought the Holy Land survival should be considered regardless how controversial. Why, if the Muslim world invades and moves to crush the Jews and drive them out of the land that would then belong to Allah and not the God of the 10 Commandments, Islam would be the prominent religion of the entire world.
The following quote is from this website:
http://www.patrobertson.com/Speeches/IsraelLauder.asp
(Interesting speech text (2004)
“One day in the late 19th Century, Queen Victoria of England reportedly asked her Prime Minister, Benjamin Disraeli, this question: Mr. Prime Minister, what evidence can you give me of the existence of God?” Disraeli thought for a moment and then replied, “The Jew, your majesty.”
Well since we can’t ask Bibi help to get us out of this dilemma now, perhaps we should suggest that the Israeli State becomes the 51st state of the USA! If that’s what it takes to get rid of the horrible Jihadist onslaught!
Israeli Statesman Benjamin Netanyahu knows who the real enemy is beforehand!
Oliver says
Edward, Bibi was BORN IN PHILADELPHIA, and as such, could, under the Constitution, be president. (He also, incidentally, went to Harvard, and is supposed to have worked with Romney, at one time, after college) .
Unlike Obama, who never really worked a day in hsi life, and whose college records are sealed.
Enfant Terrible says
Buchanan is wrong about the Iran deal. But, his bias against Israel draws support from the sometimes inordinate amount of influence of Jewish hawks on U.S. foreign policy. They had a substantial influence on, and worked with the Neocons’ grand scheme to restructure the Middle East, which manifested during the onset of the George W. Bush administration. The result was the overthrow of Saddam Hussein and the current irresistible disaster that is ISIS. Conservative American Jews (as opposed to the many liberal Jews who support or acquiesce to O’bama) would do well to concentrate on the defense and preservation of Israel with United States committed assistance, instead of trying to drive U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East.
Regarding Buchanan’s alleged “anti-antisemitism”, it stems from his commitment to isolationism, which is to a substantial extent warranted. This country’s global ambitions are increasingly exceeding it’s resources and abilities. It can be neither the world’s democratic savior, nor it’s refuge. Presently, it even ostensibly lacks the political will to guarantee Israel’s existence, or save itself from the Muslim horde.
wildjew says
Your point about conservative Jews who worked for George W. Bush has some merit but Patrick Buchanan’s detestation of Israel long pre-dates George W. Bush at least (as I remember) his service in the Reagan administration and his and Attorney General Ed Meese’s attempts to protect accused Nazi war criminals from deportation. I remember his anti-Israel rants when he co-hosted CNN’s Crossfire. He always took the side of Israel’s enemies.
Oliver says
Buchanan and (it seems his heroes, Obama and Kerry) have something else in common. Kerry with his Viet Nam views and Buchanan- who during the war (prior to the lottery for the draft, etc) claimed 4 F status- for something like fallen arches, Then, with the lottery, and he having a low number, Jesus cured the ailment, and he was able to jog.
Bob Dole ( former Republican Senator from Kansas) despised him, and called him (probably in nicer terms) a phony.

Pat Buchanan is right- the U.S. shouldn’t be anyone’s lapdog. And Pat has done more than anyone at Jihad Watch (which is a great orgnisation) to prevent the spread of Jihad to the West by raising issues such as immigration and the decline of Christendom. To resort to the liberal “he’s anti-Semitic” is just knocking down a strawman without examining the issues he raises. Israel really is a taxpayers’ welfare queen.
