[QUOTE="SeniorGeek, post: 205724, member: 4823"] The word "liberal" has been redefined by neocons as the opposite of conservative, probably to hide the liberalism and [U]radicalism[/U] of the neocon policies. Pat Buchanan is one of the founders of American Conservative Magazine, and his is the most recognizable name. I see that magazine as following his school of thought - but I may have that backwards. I thought Buchanan [U]had[/U] a mental disorder - when he was part of the Republican Party. Buchanan appeared to undergo an amazing transformation after he broke from The Party. (It is possible it is an act.) I find I'm not alone in thinking Buchanan transformed for the better: [url]http://www.rawstory.com/exclusives/colbert/pat.htm[/url] Though I still disagree with much of what he says, his positions and arguments are now clear and well reasoned - that makes him much more persuasive in my book. I sometimes think he comes to the right conclusion for the wrong reasons or vice-versa. Most importantly (from my view) - he does not shy away from stating his true motives, the way Members of the two Major Parties usually must. (If you [-]see a politician's lips moving[/-] hear a political argument that contains some form of "some of you know what I mean" or "some of you just won't understand", it generally means that there is some underlying motive that would be embarrassing to admit.) Come to think of it, most of the areas where I find Buchanan is not convincing are areas where his stated motives become vague or evasive. For those who wish to think for themselves, the editorial viewpoint of AmConMag is worthy of consideration. [/QUOTE]
