Pat Buchanan is far away one of the greatest Americans of my lifetime, and as the saying goes, I lived a lot of life!
I’m proud to say that I voted for him for president several times when he was running under the banner of the American independent party. He was and is, always America first. And he should be recognized and honored for that.
He really represents how our secular elites destroyed this country. He was from DC which used to have a lot of Catholic enclaves. By the time of his kids generation those were completely destroyed and the cities were ruined by race riots and legislation purposefully targeting white Christian/Catholic communities forcing them to go to the suburbs. Both the HS and College he went to were both considered the most elite for any one of his location and religious background to go to and were supposed to be for elite Catholics but they both sold out to the secular elites and are insanely liberal. Truly sad to see and when we win the Culture War we will have to remember guys like him and Leonard Leo who fought the good fight even when it was unpopular.
While the Republican party has improved from the likes of McCain, the current GOP is not just Buchanan from 1992, if it were there'd be no support for gay marriage in it's leadership at the very least. Buchanan's warnings have already come true: America hardly holds Christian values, it has replaced it's old heroes with degenerates, our industry has been horribly damaged, and the American people may themselves become extinct. The communist slop show "Yellowstone" is the Conservative circus now, how grim.
While we should hope for the best and give praise where do, it's hard to believe Trump who called Buchanan a Nazi after Buchanan beat him in the reform primaries will be the one to fix this. Even if he came around to Buchanan he's about a decade late and a billion dollars short. Still I hope Trump can fix whatever possible, but Buchanan he is not.
Auron, could you please post or publish information about this proposed statue somewhere not behind a paywall, please. If I subscribed to every Substack writer worth reading, I couldn’t pay my property taxes.
Pat was one of the best. I worked as a volunteer in all three of his campaigns. I drove to New Hampshire for both primaries there. I slept on the floor of a house rented by the campaign for two weeks. In 1996 I was 20 feet away from him when he gave the "Peasants with Pitchforks" speech when he won. Back in the day, Trump professed not to like Pat, but I'm convinced he borrowed a lot of Buchanan's Paleo ideas (via Sam Francis) in a more moderate form and rode them to victory.
I worked for less than a year as a writer-researcher for McLaughlin Group and McLaughin One on One. McLaughlin had also left the Catholic priesthood while or just before being a Nixon speechwriter, which is where he met Buchanan I believe. Though a difficult person to work with, sometimes sued by his employees, he was brilliant at creating the precursor to Fox News and alternative media. He deserves a statue too.

Shhh!!! They'll start taxing substack subscriptions.

Yeah, conservatism shouldn’t revolve around concepts like Christianity. Who cares? You don’t die if your kids aren’t Christian.
Christless conservatism is basically classical liberalism at best. Fast forward you have so-called conservatism aping abortion and LGBT.
