Back on the 23rd of May, the Wizbang blog posted about Pat Buchanan’s ignorant attempt to paint the pre-WWII Nazi Germany as not as bad as history would make them out to be.
He seems to have some twisted belief that Hitler didn’t want to invade Poland. That he just wanted them to cede Gdansk/Dandizg to Germany so that his mantra of “all German speaking peoples must be part of Germany†would be fulfilled and that if Poland had done that, he would have been happy and stopped then and there.
Methinks he has missed out on just about the rest of ol’ Adolph’s rhetoric.
I don’t get to read much of the blogosphere during the week, as I only have my lunch hour to do so in. Anything more than a dozen or so sites and a handful of online newspapers during that hour has to be done either before I leave for work or after I get home, which cuts into home time so that The Wife doesn’t become a blog-widow.
When I find something interesting, I cut and paste the url into a word doc with a snippet to tell me what the link goes to, and then bring it home and post on it. I labeled the link to that url “Fucking Buchananâ€, because that word and his name always go together whether I’m speaking or just thinking on the topic (I grew up the son of a pig headed Buchananite), and I’m still at a complete loss as to why this man is still taken seriously on the national stage.
Luckily for my sanity, I can go here and read as Victor Davis Hansen wonder the same damn thing.
