Spare us from these phony patriots who only love America when their side wins.
YES, THE SYSTEM IS RIGGED
Pat Buchanan
This longest of election cycles has rightly been called the Year of the Outsider. It was a year that saw a mighty surge of economic populism and patriotism,
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
But if it ends with a Clintonite restoration and a ratification of the same old Beltway policies, would that not suggest there is something fraudulent about American democracy, something rotten in the state?

The Czechs had their Prague Spring. The Tunisians and Egyptians their Arab Spring. When do we have our American Spring?
,,,,,,,,,,,,
Our CIA, NGOs and National Endowment for Democracy all beaver away for “regime change” in faraway lands whose rulers displease us.
How do we effect “regime change” here at home?

Why is it not Middle America issuing the demands, rather than the other way around?
Specifically, the Republican electorate should tell its discredited and rejected ruling class: If we cannot get rid of you at the ballot box, then tell us how, peacefully and democratically, we can be rid of you?

if Hillary Clinton takes power, and continues America on her present course, which a majority of Americans rejected in the primaries, there is going to a bad moon rising.

You see that Pat Falls into the old trap of believing that only people who think like he does are real Americans. That the other side is not just wrong, but illegitimate.
Poppycock.
How do we effect regime change?
What do you mean we?
It's my country just as much as yours.
Maybe "middle America" cannot issue demands, because they are no more legitimate Americans than is Coastal America.
If Hillary Clinton wins in November it will be because she got 270 electoral votes.
Just as the Founders intended.
Take it like a man, Pat.
Just like I did in 2004.
Losing is a turd sandwich. Grow up!

Oh, that is rich!
Sorry, but I can't let this pass.
Pat Buchanan, who identifies with Middle America, embraces anti-intellectualism, and sneers about people who have attended elite universities,,,,,,,
earned his TWO degrees at,,,,, wait for it,,,,,,,
Georgetown University, AND Columbia University.
Georgetown is one of the top rated private schools in the country.
And Columbia is a member of the IVY LEAGUE !
You can't make this stuff up.
