55. Just try to keep in mind that Pat is hugely racist and homophobic, antisimetic and sexist

A couple Pat Classics to balance the presence of his writing being presented here seriously.

Pat Buchanan, 1992:
"integration of blacks and whites -- but even more so, poor and well-to-do -- is less likely to result in accommodation than it is in perpetual friction, as the incapable are placed consciously by government side by side with the capable."
Same year, on Adolf Hitler:
"an individual of great courage.... Hitler's success was not based on his extraordinary gifts alone. His genius was an intuitive sense of the mushiness, the character flaws, the weakness masquerading as morality that was in the hearts of the statesmen who stood in his path." http://www.fair.org/index.php?page=2553
