Over the years as a conservative commentator, Buchanan has said women are not "endowed by nature" with the same ambition and will to succeed as men. He has found admirable qualities in Hitler, questioned aspects of the Holocaust and called AIDS nature's retribution against homosexuals...
...Holocaust. In a 1990 newspaper column, Buchanan didn't hesitate to say that people who survived the Nazi death camps suffer from "group fantasies of martyrdom." He even tried his hand at Holocaust revisionism, arguing that diesel-engine exhaust could not have killed so many Jews at Treblinka. Hitler?

But Ropke would probably have mixed feelings about Buchanan's populism. The economist served on Germany's unemployment commission until Hitler took power in 1933 and fired him. Ropke went into exile in Switzerland but in the late 1940s served as a top adviser to Ludwig Erhard, architect of Germany's "economic miracle." Ropke warned of "the tendency for the increasingly centralized state of our times to surround like a parasitical...
