by Patrick J. Buchanan One wonders: What did Sarah Palin ever do to inspire the rage and bile that exploded on her selection by John McCain? What is there either in this woman's record or resume to elicit such feline ferocity? What did we know of her when she was introduced? That she was a mother of five who had brought into this world a baby boy with Down syndrome, thus living her Continue reading...

by Patrick J. Buchanan ST. PAUL, Minn. -- The American Right has just died and gone to heaven.

Two weeks later, Hitler executed the Roehm purge and Continue reading...
