Hirchins' demolition of Buchanan is wonderful and brilliant! I can only add this: Buchanan's views stem untimately from Integral Catholicism, a form of traditionalism which always targeted Jews, liberals, socialists, free masons, and humanists for every evil. Buchanan cannot really hide his inner anti-semitism. Integral Catholicism in Europe led to Integral Nationalism, which was the antechamber to Fascism. Buchanan is a Catholic Fascist with these roots. He is like Fr. Coughlin, Ambassador Joseph P. Kennedy, and perhaps even Pius XII -- all of whom preferred a 'Christian' crusade against Bolshevism to a defense against Hitler.

Of course YOU would think they're wrong. After Churchill bit off more than England could chew, guess who had to bail your grandfather's ass out?
