Pat Buchanan's New Book: Neocons, "are IMPOSTERS and OPPORTUNISTS.”

[Placebo]

After warning about the "Death of the West," bestselling author and former presidential candidate Pat Buchanan now declares: "There is no conservative party left in Washington."

Buchanan is set to launch his new work WHERE THE RIGHT WENT WRONG: How Neoconservatives Subverted The Reagan Revolution And Hijacked the Bush Presidency -- a work ripe with cutting observation and opinion.

RIGHT WENT WRONG is not set for release until September 1, but DRUDGE breaks the embargo on the book:

On Conservatives and Conservatism:

“The Beltway Right has entered into a civil union with Big Brother.” (Page 176)  

“Under the rubric of conservatism, the Republican party of Bush I and II has been reinventing itself into what conservatives would have once recognized as a Rockefeller party reciting Reaganite rhetoric.” (234) 

“A civil war is going to break out inside the Republican Party along the old trench lines of the Goldwater-Rockefeller wars of the 1960s, a war for the heart and soul and future of the party for the new century.” (234)

On the Neoconservatives:

“The boat people of the McGovern revolution.” (37)

“Kristol’s warning that neoconservatives could go to Kerry was an admission of what many have long recognized.  The neoconservatives are not really conservatives at all.  They are impostors and opportunists.” (250)

I know he's insane, but I love to hear him tell the truth about the Neocon movement.

1. Pat Buchanan should endorse Kerry

Pat Buchanan has been slamming gwb for years. Deep down inside he knows the best thing for the Rebulican party and conservative movement is for bush to be taken out. I don't know why he just can't take the next step.

2. Never happen

Conservatives never admit when they're wrong. They'll call OTHER conservatives wrong, but a party switch would be too much of a giveaway.

5. Never....

He is a Paleo-Conservative not a Neo-Conservative....I don't want that nut on our side anyways.....

4. More Good Quotes...

On the Bush Doctrine:

“A prescription for permanent war for permanent peace, though wars are the death of republics.” (6)

The Bush National Security Strategy “is the imperial edict of a superpower out to exploit its present supremacy to make itself permanent Lord Protector of the universe.” (26)  

        “This is democratic imperialism.  This will bleed, bankrupt and isolate this republic.  This overthrows the wisdom of the Founding Fathers about what America should be all about.” (35) 

On the War in Iraq:

“Listening to the neoconservatives, Bush invaded Iraq, united the Arab world against us, isolated us from Europe, and fulfilled to the letter bin Laden’s prophecy as to what we were about.  We won the war in three weeks -- and we may have lost the Islamic world for a generation. (84)

"If Iraq collapses in chaos and civil war, there will be a ferocious fight in this country over who misled us and who may have lied us, into war....into the dock will go the neoconservatives whose class project this was...” (236)

On the War on Terror:

“We are not hated for who we are.  We are hated for what we do.  It is not our principles that have spawned pandemic hatred of America in the Islamic world.  It is our policies.” (80)

6. Run, Pat, Run!

I hoped Buchanan would run for the presidency again, and divert the paleo-cons and constitutionalists.

I'm still meaning to read his last book "A Republic, Not an Empire" -- which was surely prescient!
