This review is from: Buchanan: Caught in the Crossfire (Paperback)

It was a great book, a must read! It was a very insightful look at the man who will be the next President of the United States! All citizens of voting age should read this before the election. It was a great show at his views and why he believes the things he does. GO PAT GO!

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally a book that understands Patrick Buchanan and Co., January 15, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Buchanan: Caught in the Crossfire (Paperback)

George Grant's work is remarkable. Finally there is a book on the shelves that understands Pat Buchanan and seeks to explain why he thinks the way he does and what it can mean for our nation. Since his amazing runs of 1992, 1996, and 2000, people have been quick on the trigger to criticize this potential Teddy Roosevelt of our time. Grant's work is an excellent one about the ever condemned, but never refuted Patrick J. Buchanan.

1.0 out of 5 stars As backwards as they come, April 11, 2001

Robin Orlowski "political activist" (United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Buchanan: Caught in the Crossfire (Paperback)

Far from being a progressive Bull Moose, Patrick J. Buchannan is as conservative as they come.

He and his supporters were the ones who in 1992 caused my party to retake the white house because of the excesively hard line on social issues at the Houston TX national GOP convention. Because Bush Sr.'s campaign was so afraid of ailenating the religious conservative powerbase, they essentially let this group declare open season on anybody who did not fit into the traditional mold. of the ideal American.

Furthermore, Roosevelt supported women's suffrage. Judging by his retrograde concepts of women's work (no, having your sister as a campaign manager does not make you a liberated man)Buchannan also does not care about the needs of women voters. Buchannan has openly denounced the concept of abortion, birth control and the equal rights amendment because they violate his relgious beliefs---without even stoping to think how somebody else may view those things.

Buchannan's inability to realize the neccesity of a global market also renders him obsolte to the modern American system of government and politics. Because of technological advances, the question is no longer going to be "Do we have to work with people of different countries?", but rather "When are we going to work with people from different countries."
