Pat Buchanan discovers hawks are “over-represented” on Sunday talk shows



Only the other day, he discovered uncontrolled capitalism is wage slavery and federal wages and hours regulation is a good thing, right alongside protective tariffs.

Today he is discovering that rebels can be war criminals, too.

Well, it’s good that somebody is making this discovery.

I only wish he was still allowed to make discoveries on cable news TV, undermining in his small way the domination of movement conservatism – and thence of the Republican Party – by Wall Street, disciples of Ayn Rand, and libertarian globalists.

Jesus, this one is like finally inventing the wheel.

The portrait of America that emerges is of a nation not overly interested in what is going on in Syria, but which overwhelmingly wants to stay out of the war.

But it is also a nation whose foreign policy elites are far more interventionist and far more supportive of sending weapons to the rebels and using U.S. air power.

From these polls, it is hard not to escape the conclusion that the Beltway elites who shape U.S. foreign policy no longer represent the manifest will of Middle America.

When the hell did they ever?

And then he refers to the peace-loving American people, as distinct from these warmongering elites, as “the silent majority.”

I can’t tell whether Nixon is grinning or spinning in his grave.

Pretty good piece.
