ARE YOU READY FOR AMERICA'S FIRST FACIST BIMONTHLY?

Pat Buchanan and friends are starting up their own magazine, the American Conservative, in an effort to rescue American conservatism from its takeover by the neo-cons. Nathan Newman suggests that the magazine will serve as a forum to highlight a growing split on the Right over the Bush Administration's expansive approach to the war on terror. If so, expect the Buchaninites to receive a sound drubbing from an interventionist coalition of neocons, the Christian Right (who have alienated Pat & Co. by rallying behind philosemitic as opposed to anti-semitic positions), and most of the Big Business wing of the GOP. No, if Pat is look-ing for fellow travelers, he should probably look to the Far Left. They very much agree with him that the Jews and their state are the source of the world's problems, and a Zionist con-spiracy drives American efforts to bring democracy to the Middle East. After all, David Duke is quite a popular columnist in Saudi Arabia.
