Raise your hand if you’re shocked.

I’m shocked he waited this long.

Then followed the demand that no child be exposed to prayers or religious books, including the Bible, nor have any day or week set aside as a holiday if connected to Christianity.

Out went Christmas and Easter.

Yes, I can still remember that day when Christmas ceased to be a federal holiday. I was having tea with Brian Williams that day.

I was in CHile with Bill O’Reilly doing pisco shots with Bill arguing that Pisco is Chilean and I like any good brother in law of a Peruvian arguing it’s Peruvian.

I’ve mentioned this before, but my grandfather didn’t think much of Buchanan. Said Buchanan talked like a Nazi. This was a bit unusual, since grandpa was usually fond of Republicans.

More importantly, grandpa knew what real Nazis talk like. He emigrated from Germany to the US because of the degenerating political situation in the Weimar republic.

Buchanan is a curious mix of Old-School Republican aspirational-intellectualism (WF Buckley) and older school Dixie Racist. Except he’s Catholic.

Of course he is consistent with modern Evangelicals in his affection of Jews extends only as far as they can inhumanly be slotted into a purely political and ideological role. This is consistent with more modern Tea Party/Evangelicals that consider Israel and Jews to be mere pawns in a bizarre End-Times fantasy Rapture scenario. This right wing fetish of Jews dehumanizes and relegates an entire group of people into nothing more than cartoon characters -a modern minstrel show- this is the very definition of Racism. Buchanan’s brushes with Nazi rhetoric are nothing new. What is new is that his rhetoric in today’s outrageous new normal of Tea Party dominated Fox News seems almost quaint in comparison.

The really amazing quote though is a few paragraphs down, where Paleo-Pat is bemoaning the loss of the segregationists.

It amazes me that Buchanan is so goddamn intelligent, but is so much of a fascist at the same time.

It also amazes me that people like Daniel Larison work for him in good conscience.

Or that Rachel Maddow used to work with him.

Perhaps you are not acquainted with Larison’s enthusiasm for the League of the South.

The Hegemonists, Thomas Woods and the League of the South

The defeat of the Confederacy, though the Confederate political experiment does not exhaust the richness of Southern culture and identity, was a defining moment when the United States took its steps towards the abyss of the monstrous centralised state, rootless society and decadent culture that we have today. In sum, the Confederacy represented much of the Old America that was swept away, and with it went everything meaningful about the constitutional republican system, and the degeneration of that system in the next hundred years was the logical and ultimately unstoppable result of Lincoln’s victory. All of this is in recognition that we are beholden to our ancestors for who we are, and we honour and remember their struggles and accomplishments not only because they can be established as reasonable, good and true but because they are the struggles and accomplishments of our people, who have made this land ours and sanctified it with their blood in defense against the wanton aggression of a barbarous tyranny.

Why am I NOT surprised?
