...Nothing to brag about

Both Buchanan and Palin may agree with you, but it's hardly something to brag about.
Buchanan's isolationist views might have some merit; however, he is a rabid Jew hater. Just mention a Jew and he goes psychotic. He never met a Jew he didn't hate, or a Nazi he didn't love. His last book was a revisionist history; basically it claimed that Hitler was not really a bad guy, just misunderstood; and that if we had been nicer to him, WW II would not have been necessary.

When Palin was first chosen as VP candidate, I thought, ok, here's a fresh face, young, energetic, let's see what she can do. When asked by Couric if
she could name an SJC decision she disagreed with, she came up empty. At this time, the Kelo decision was still fresh in many people's minds, and anyone who isn't bothered by its outrageousness and implications is either "issue obliviious", brain dead, or a person to whom freedom, justice, fair play, honesty, etc. are meaningless. I did enjoy watching her make hardcore Feminist heads explode, but that does not make up for her ignorance.
Neither Buchanan or Palin are "leading lights" or great thinkers.

It's always great to get support. Not always great to brag about it...
