Any type of authoritarianism is only beneficial to the people wielding that authority...

Good for those in power, bad for the subjects. Even if the authority does things that benefit you now, it's only a matter of time before their power is used against you.

And that's where you get the cycle....left wing power, right wing power, back and forth. The only constant is more power added over time.

Patrick J. Buchanan has always been a patriot. God bless him.
By the way, I am so very proud to say I am one-quarter Hungarian. They make me so much more proud than my Scandinavian ancestors whose present occupants defile our lands more and more.

Well, at least you admit that authoritarianism isn't good for me. This is what I know. Pat Buchanan says that there is a rise of the Authoritarian Right Wing. This is what I know about Pat Buchanan. According to him, "slavery brought Blacks freedom and prosperity". He also wants to get rid of civil rights laws. That alone makes me distrustful of Pat Buchanan. I suspect his support for Right Wing Authoritarianism might be harmful to me in way different than any other authoritarianism.

Okay, so what? I'm not here screaming up and down "I'm Black and I'm proud". I'm proud of things I've achieved. That brings me pride. What I do.

Why did Pat put forth a black female as a running mate? Because he wanted to stick you all in ovens?

Pat is an example of someone with an unfortunate social/economic policy, but the best foreign policy this side of Ron Paul. Trump should have named him Secretary of State.

Watch him squash Hannity like a bug:

It doesn't matter what percent ethnicity is contained within your DNA. Since you're human, you have automatically inherited imperfections, just like all other inhabitants of the earth. Your racial heritage grants you absolutely nothing more or less than any other subspecies of homo sapiens or human beings.

That's the fundamental problem, people assuming that they possess superior characteristics, when they clearly do not! White skin does not and should not entitle you to anything more than anyone else with a different skin color.

She probably believes everything that he says. He is likely using her. I don't buy anything he is doing. I know what he is saying. Either you confront those facts, or you can go somewhere else.

You've mentioned in the past about "self-hating Whites". Well, she might be a Black woman who isn't fond of other Blacks. There are Black people who are like that.
