and the lunatics running our country can only talk about how global climate change (which has always been a natural phenomenon since the beginning of time) is a "national security threat." Then, like Buchanan has pointed out a million times before, we take our trade policies from a bunch of academic scribblers who have never run anything more complicated then a lemonade stand. Nationalists like buchanan have been warning us what free trade advocates like williams and sowell have pooh poohed. Gee who would have thought there was more to the equation then who could build the tv the cheapest? Especially factoring in the modern day welfare state where lower paid service jobs replacing manufacturing jobs would exponentially burden the tax base.

Neocons should have listened to Buchanan who warned us against this Wilsonian nation building.

Not that Buchanan can really take credit for any brilliance since the only thing he is really doing is being wise enough to listen to the foreign policy advice of the founding fathers.

All you neocons and other nation builders read "A Republic, Not an Empire" (and everything else by Buchanan), you'll learn volumes...
