Thanks, CD.
And thanks to Jan for a bit of illumination on the Buchanan article.
Buchanan's "podium" for the Edmonds tale is indeed one of the tidbits that tiqueled my intuitive eyebrow twitch, as well moreso with some of the frequent civilian "pundits" who, it now appears, were perhaps taking their cues from him or one of the other paleo-conservatives. (Gosh, it seems to me that the political spectrum is becoming a whole lot less linear, no longer even five shades to either side of center, but more an adventure in pointillism. I am still trying to figure out how to label my own views. I do know that the convention and platform meetings in my political organization will be limited in size, and likely entertaining, fun, serious, informative, sober, and filled with wit.) (I did suggest to Magda some type of dinner get-together; I am envious I won't get to Dallas.)
I am also curious as to what TAC considers libertarianist "degenerate practices" given the whole national backdrop of MK-Ultra, torture, purposeful upheaval of sovereignty, human trafficking, arms sales, murder squads, the 101st Tequila Brigade, trans-national trafficking in deadly and addictive drugs, stealth theft in twelve figures, and the rest of the lot. Libertarian freedoms would seem to pale because they are personal in nature, not full governmental practice.
I fully agree as well with Jan's perspective that the pandering and titillation aspects seem like "an invitation for MSM to focus on some essentially irrelevant but titillating element whilst conveniently ignoring mass treachery by politicians and business/political entities". That's the major tiqueler right there.
