...other words, politicians are focusing on how Buchanan's candidacy will affect the partisan warfare and determine the election outcome. They consider his role in influencing the course of national politics or question the economic soundness of a complete withdrawal from the global economy. Anti-Buchanan arguments like these do very little for the American people and their values system; they merely teach them the art of campaign tactics. The social conservatism advocated by Buchanan should frighten and outrage our populace, and yet all it does is present politicians and voters with an unexpected, but unfortunately accepted variable...
...confronting the unfortunate fact that a system which, by definition, should filter out Buchananism has failed to do so thus far. No one is facing the upsetting reality that white, Anglo-Saxon supremacy has grown popular. No one is condemning Buchanan for a social ideology reminiscent of Germany in the 1930s. No one is standing up to Buchanan purely for the purpose of preserving all for which this country stands. It is feeling deprived of the full portrait of "Buchanan as bigot" which leads me to this artistic task...

...issue of blacks, Buchanan asserted in 1972 that "the ship of integration is going down. It's not our ship." By speaking in the first-person plural, Buchanan is exhibiting a detachment from black citizens. The cause, one for which the fight continues, is not his. This is a frightening fact--that the push for racial integration is not a goal of a political leader. That this unconstitutional mindframe can appeal to a portion of the populace bears testimony to the erosion of America's social values. Where are the counter-attacks to his monstrous assertions...
...Buchanan expressed his sentiments for a Christian America when he said: "America was a Christian country. A quarter of a century ago, without prior consultation with a democratic people, without support in precedent or the Constitution, the Warren Court undertook the systematic de-Christianization of America." It seems Buchanan ought to refresh himself on the First Amendment of our Bill of Rights. Is not there something on religious freedom written there...
