PJB: Why No Evangelical Justice?

by Patrick J. Buchanan
When Republicans were warned not to give Sonia Sotomayor the drubbing Democrats gave Robert Bork and Sam Alito — lest they be perceived as sexist and racist by women and Hispanics — the threat was credible, for it underscored a new reality in American politics.
The Supreme Court, far from being the last [...:]

PJB: Socialist America Sinking

by Patrick J. Buchanan
After half a century of fighting encroachments upon freedom in America, journalist Garet Garrett published "The People's Pottage." A year later, in 1954, he died. "The People's Pottage" opens thus:
"There are those who still think they are holding the pass against a revolution that may be coming up the road. But they [...:]

PJB: How to Handle Sonia

by Patrick J. Buchanan
Republicans have been given fair warning.
Should GOP senators treat Sonia Sotomayor as contemptuously as Democrats treated Robert Bork, Clarence Thomas and Sam Alito, they should expect Hispanic hostility for a generation.
The chutzpah of this Beltway crowd does not cease to amaze.
They archly demand that conservatives accord a self-described "affirmative action baby" from [...:]

PJB: It Can't Happen Here

by Patrick J. Buchanan
So grave was the crisis in western China that President Hu Jintao canceled a meeting with President Obama, broke off from the G8 summit and flew home.
By official count, 158 are dead, 1,080 injured and a thousand arrested in ethnic violence between Han Chinese and the Muslim, Turkic-speaking Uighurs of Xinjiang. That [...:]

PJB: Dumbing-Down the U.S. Navy

by Patrick J. Buchanan
"Naval Academy Professor Challenges Rising Diversity," ran the headline in the Washington Post.
The impression left was that some sorehead was griping because black and Hispanic kids were finally being admitted.
The Post's opening paragraphs reinforced the impression.
"Of the 1,230 plebes who took the oath of office at the Naval Academy in Annapolis this [...:]

PJB: Hands Off Honduras!

By Patrick J. Buchanan
Last Saturday, Honduran soldiers marched into the presidential palace, bundled up President Manuel Zelaya and put him on a plane for Costa Rica.

PJB: Making a Monkey Out of Darwin

By Patrick J. Buchanan
"You have no notion of the intrigue that goes on in this blessed world of science," wrote Thomas Huxley. "Science is, I fear, no purer than any other region of human activity; though it should be."
As "Darwin's bulldog," Huxley would himself engage in intrigue, deceit and intellectual property theft to make his [...:]

PJB: California, Here We Come!

By Patrick J. Buchanan
PALM SPRINGS, Calif. — In just a few weeks time, California hits the wall.

Doug Feith and friends want to send civilians into war zones to do the job the military can’t.
By Jeff Huber -The American Conservative Magazine

PJB: Ten Days That Shook Tehran

By Patrick J. Buchanan
Given its monopoly of guns, bet on the Iranian regime. But, in the long run, the ayatollahs have to see the handwriting on the wall.
Let us assume what they insist upon — that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad won the June 12 election; that, even if fraud occurred, it did not decide the outcome. As [...:]
