Patty-Patty Buke-Buke!<\/a> WRONG!<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n

So\u00a0National Review<\/em>\u2019s Kevin D. Williamson wrote an acute piece on some of the continuities between Donald Trump\u2019s supporters and those of Pat Buchanan in 1996<\/a> (there\u2019s probably a link to Perot in \u201992, but his appeal was more technocratic and less splenetic). The resentful psychology of a man trying to prove his manhood and needing scapegoat for his undeserved situation Kevin draws is acute, and indeed was very much the case with the Buchanan campaign. For you kids who came in late and missed the op\u00e9ra bouffe<\/em> of the \u201990s, here is a piece which I couldn\u2019t find anywhere on the internet, but which, fortunately, was in the bottom of my file drawer. (We used to use paper, kids. I know, lulz.)<\/p>\n

It\u2019s dated and specific, and I don\u2019t even know if the man himself would agree with all of it these days, but for your edification (and entertainment\u2014there are some good lines and the writing\u2019s characteristically deft)\u2026<\/p>\n

Stupid and Contagious<\/h2>\n

P.J. O\u2019Rourke<\/p>\n

Rolling Stone<\/em><\/p>\n

April 18, 1996<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a voice you can hear any night of the week in half the cities of the world, in Dublin, Sydney, Liverpool, Chicago, in Southie in Boston, on Fordham Road in the Bronx, in any place named Molly McWhatall\u2019s or Micky O\u2019Soforth\u2019s or nicknamed the Bucket of Blood. It\u2019s the voice of a big man with a well-thumbed nose and beef-tinted cheeks. He wears a tan raincoat, and there\u2019s a tweed on his bean the color of, and as clean as, a welcome mat. Booze spills over the edge of his glass. Gut spills over the edge of his belt. You can hear him all the way at the other end of the bar even on open-mike night with three drunk fiddlers, a tin-whistle artist and a 200-pound tenor performing \u201cThe Wild Colonial Boy.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s the Jews that have all the good jobs,\u201d says the Whiskey Warrior. \u201cTook them all when we weren\u2019t looking. Why, a man used to be able to get a job paying 50, 60, no, a hundred dollars an hour at any factory just for loading boxes on a truck, till the Jews took all the jobs away. But do you think the Jews work those jobs themselves not on your life. Who ever saw a Jew lift anything heavier than a $20 bill? No, they sold the jobs to illegal immigrants, they did, little brown foreigners all over the place who\u2019ll work so cheap that come payday, they line up and give the bosses money back. I\u2019d build a wall right across the whole of Mexico, if it was me. Call it the Great Wall of Chicano. Or just make English the official language. That\u2019s all you have to do. They wouldn\u2019t even know that talking Spanish was illegal, because the law\u2019d be in English. So they\u2019d all go to jail instead of taking our jobs away. Something that never would have happened if all these companies hadn\u2019t started hiring women\u2014women executives this and women vice presidents that and women chair-broads of the board. Women can\u2019t stand up to the Jews and the foreigners. They aren\u2019t aggressive enough. They don\u2019t have the old tallywhacker swinging back and forth between their knees. And what about our taxes that the women and foreigners and Jews have been raising to buy black helicopters for the United Nations? \u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

Well, I\u2019m a mick myself, a had harp from the inevitable big, rowdy family. I have more uncles than most people have coat hangers in the front hall closet. And I\u2019ve been hearing the Whiskey Warrior all my life\u2014from the other end of the bar and, indeed, from the other end of the dinner table. I know that fellow holding up the mahogany in O\u2019Soforth\u2019s. Let\u2019s call him Pat. Hell, let\u2019s call him Pat Buchanan. And let me tell you a few things about the boy.<\/p>\n

In the first place, he\u2019s a Democrat. I know Pat says he\u2019s not, but it\u2019s more of his malarkey. He\u2019s a Democrat of the old-fashioned sorehead, ignoramus school. He attacks corporations for laying off employees. Does Pat think the corporations should just keep the employees hanging around, making butt prints on the office photocopier and using their desktop PCs to visit paramilitary Web sites? Or maybe the government should decide who gets fired. That works so well at the post office. And Pat is outraged by big corporate profits. Sure, the economy always performs brilliantly without them. What does Pat think happens to profits? That money couldn\u2019t just go right back into the economy or anything. Somebody, probably with a stein<\/i> on the end of his name, must be hoarding all the cash so that it can all be smeared with chocolate by National Endowment for the Humanities-sponsored performance artists. Maybe the government should decide how big profits should be. That works so well with the post office, too. Pat hates free trade. Now, there are few things all economists agree upon, except that all other economists should be sewn up in a sack with Michael Milken. But every half-sane economist on earth says that free trade benefits the great mass of humanity. Dumping NAFTA and GATT and pasting huge tariffs on goods form slanty-eyed places would bloat prices, destroy export industry jobs and devastate Pat\u2019s own blue-collar constituency\u2014and serve them right for voting for the drip. Nor does Pat want to reform Social Security and Medicare. Just let the cost of living allowances balloon and the government trust funds shrivel, and when we retire we\u2019ll all get $10,000 a month, and reduced-rate seniors\u2019 bus fare to go to the doctor will cost $7,500.<\/p>\n

Pat Buchanan is a big-government guy. He\u2019s the loudest advocate for federal expansion since Hillary Clinton tossed her cookies in the health-care fiasco. And pat not only wants the government to keep doing what it\u2019s doing wrong, he wants it to do a lot of new wrong things besides. He wants to take solemn, indeed sacred, moral questions such as abortion and marriage and turn them into muddy political footballs. He wants to run the pigskin horde of government through intimate and confidential territories of our lives\u2014religion, sex, culture, language. Next, no doubt, he\u2019ll try to make all Ten Commandments into federal laws. House bill HR 7085\u2014Honor They Father and Thy Mother. Knock, knock. \u201cFBI here. Talk to your mom like that again and it\u2019s 25 years to life.\u201d<\/p>\n

This is not conservatism as I know it. You can call Pat Buchanan a lot of things\u2014fascist, statist, cryptosocialist, jerk\u2014and that\u2019s what you should call him. But don\u2019t try to put Buchanan in the same online chat room as Barry Goldwater and Lady Margaret Thatcher unless you have your V-chip installed.<\/p>\n

Conservatism means faith in the individual, in every individual, even if that individual has a funny name and comes from way far away.<\/p>\n

Conservatism means belief in private property because individuals can have no substantive freedom unless they are secure in the ways and means of their lives. Buchanan\u2019s economic nationalism would tie your property rights to hare-brained patriotism: No U-turn on red\u2014except for American cars.<\/p>\n

Conservatism means trust in religious and moral traditions because vast numbers of people have accepted these traditions voluntarily and because their acceptance has withstood the test of time. There\u2019s no place in modern, pluralistic conservatism for the legal denigration of one set of traditions and glorification of another. People have to work that out for themselves, among themselves. And there\u2019s no such thing as instant traditions\u2014however much the Christian Coalition may want to create some. Nor can religion and morality be effectively imposed form the outside unless Buchanan thinks he\u2019s Moses descending with the tablets form the mount (and given his record on anti-Semitism, I don\u2019t think so).<\/p>\n

And conservatism means belief in the free market. Not because the free market is virtuous or fair\u2014it\u2019s not. The free market is just information. It tells us, to the penny, what people will pay for a thing. Buchanan\u2019s tacit pleas for a Soviet-style industrial policy disparage the free market. He might as well disparage arithmetic. \u201cA lot of our schoolkids are having trouble remembering the seven-times-seven thing,\u201d Buchanan could say. \u201cThis is hard on them. We need to change that. Elect me and I will make seven times seven equal 50. It\u2019s fairer for the kids.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shut up, Pat. And listen to me. I spend some time down at O\u2019Soforth\u2019s myself, filled wiht coffin varnish and beating the air with my jaw. Let me give you my own beery vision of the good life. I want that great tavern, that giant saloon which is America, to be filled wiht all kinds of people of each creed and hue, of both sexes and every proclivity, people with diverse tastes, aims, ambitions, ideals and ideas, and plenty of immigrants among them. And I want them all shouting. I want to watch them battle for their points of view, fight their fights with society and each other. I want to see each one of them trying to make the nation over in his or her own image.<\/p>\n

And what a bar brawl it is\u2014polemics tossed, dialectics shattered, chairs of empiricism smashed over heads of ideology, aged prejudices heaved through windows of young opinion, theories given the bum\u2019s rush by facts. But I want this to be a private free-for-all, a duke-out among independent citizens. And Pat Buchanan insists on getting the government involved. Pat, the big sissy, keeps wanting to call the police.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
