PJB on “The Toyota Republicans.” If you are averse to the GOP in the first place, this might drive it home. The Republican Party needs a new way. So do the Dems, but that’s another matter entirely.
Why aren’t Oklahoma and Texas rematching for the National Title? A man with a 1992 Ph.D. in Love from the School of Hard Knocks would say they should or perhaps it should be Florida vs. USC. What say you White Owl?
What can I say about Pat Buchanan? I have always had a hard time taking him seriously especially after he wrote a book whose premise was that Britian and the United States should have let Hitler take control of Europe and he would have left them alone.
He does provide some interesting thoughts particularly with regard to what President Reagan did to help out the US economy but he never seems to get to the heart of the problem. That being that it does not make a lot of sense to pay someone roughly $75 an hour to put together a car, that is why the Big Three are in so much trouble coupled with the fact that the unions are paying un-employed workers 80% of their salary not to work.
Overall not a big fan of Buchanan but I liked the article especially when he got off a blast about the fact that the big 3 did not bomb Pearl Harbor yet the government has had no problem providing incentives to Japanese auto makers to open plants in the US.
To be fair, the thesis of PJB’s book, Churchill, Hitler, and “The Uneccessary War” actually goes a little more like this: if not for the blunders of British statesmen—Winston Churchill first among them—the horrors of two world wars and the Holocaust might have been avoided and the British Empire might never have collapsed into ruins. Half a century of murderous oppression of scores of millions under the iron boot of Communist tyranny might never have happened, and Europe’s central role in world affairs might have been sustained for many generations.
