Pat Buchanan: The Rejection Election
By Patrick J. Buchanan
With the Iowa caucuses a week away, the front-runner for the Republican nomination, who leads in all the polls, is Donald Trump.
The consensus candidate of the Democratic Party elite, Hillary Clinton, has been thrown onto the defensive by a Socialist from Vermont who seems to want to burn down Wall Street.
Not so long ago, Clinton was pulling down $225,000 a speech from Goldman Sachs. Today, she sounds like William Jennings Bryan.
Taken together, the candidacies of Trump, Sanders, Ben Carson and Ted Cruz represent a rejection of the establishment. And, imitation being the sincerest form of flattery, other Republican campaigns are now channeling Trump’s.

Pat Buchanan: Will Elites Blow Up the GOP?
By Patrick J. Buchanan“Buchanan, if you ever hear of a group getting together to stop X, be sure to put your money on X.”
So, Richard Nixon told me half a century ago, after he had been badly burned in just such a futile and failed enterprise.
It was the Cleveland Governors Conference of 1964.
Sen. Barry Goldwater had just defeated Gov. Nelson Rockefeller in the final and decisive winner-take-all primary in California.

Pat Buchanan: Why Liberal Media Hate Trump
By Patrick J. Buchanan
In the feudal era there were the “three estates” — the clergy, the nobility and the commons. The first and second were eradicated in Robespierre’s Revolution.
But in the 18th and 19th century, Edmund Burke and Thomas Carlyle identified what the latter called a “stupendous Fourth Estate.”
Wrote William Thackeray: “Of the Corporation of the Goosequill — of the Press … of the fourth estate. … There she is — the great engine — she never sleeps. She has her ambassadors in every quarter of the world — her courtiers upon every road. Her officers march along with armies, and her envoys walk into statesmen’s cabinets.”
The fourth estate, the press, the disciples of Voltaire, had replaced the clergy it had dethroned as the new arbiters of morality and rectitude.

Pat Buchanan: Taking Down The Donald
By Patrick J. Buchanan
If his Republican opponents will not take down Donald Trump, Fox News will not only show them how it is done. Fox News will do the job for them.
That is the message that came out loud and clear from last Thursday's debate in Cleveland, which was viewed by the largest cable audience ever to watch a political event — 24 million Americans.
As political theater, it was exciting and entertaining.
But what was supposed to be a debate among the top-10 Republican candidates turned into a bear-baiting of Donald Trump.

Imperial Overstretch
By Patrick J. Buchanan
Toward the end of the presidency of George H.W. Bush, America stood alone at the top of the world — the sole superpower.
After five weeks of "shock and awe" and 100 hours of combat, Saddam's army had fled Kuwait back up the road to Basra and Bagdad.
Our Cold War adversary was breaking apart into 15 countries. The Berlin Wall had fallen. Germany was reunited. The captive nations of Central and Eastern Europe were breaking free.
Bush I had mended fences with Beijing after the 1989 massacre in Tiananmen Square. Mikhail Gorbachev and Boris Yeltsin were friends.
The president declared the coming of a "new world order." And neocons were chattering about a new "unipolar world" and the "benevolent global hegemony" of the United States.
Consider now the world our next president will inherit.

Sorry, Jeb, the Race Is Wide Open
Democrats may be ready for Hillary, but nothing is inevitable for the GOP.
By Peggy Noonan
Thoughts on the 2016 presidential primaries:
No one expects anything from the Democrats. They will back, accept or acquiesce in a coronation. This will not be called passive but disciplined. But when you think about it—one of our two major parties, in a time of considerable national peril, will settle its presidential nomination without vigorous debate—it is weird and disturbing.

Republican Tsunami: We Need a Morally Coherent Presidential Candidate
From BARBWIRE
By Deacon Keith Fournier
Like millions in the United States of
America I am tired today. After an evening of ministry in Church on
November 4, 2014, I returned home and watched network television. I also
utilized my mobile device to stay abreast of the election returns. It
was a long night.
The facts speak for themselves. This was not simply a Republican wave, it was a Tsunami. What will follow in its wake is up to us.
The importance of the midterm election cannot be overstated. It was not about political parties. It was about buying some time to hold back the collapse of a culture spinning out of control. The loss of our national moral compass is at the root of every other problem, economic, international, or social. There is a moral foundation to a free society.

Sen. Rand Paul Is Early Grassroots Frontrunner in 2016 Presidential Poll
 |
| Senator Rand Paul |
The Contract from America 2016 poll is based on a crowdsourced, Condorcet preference voting model which prevents the vote-stuffing found in other polls and elicits deeper voter preferences.
The Contract From America's 2016 Presidential poll is the first poll in the nation to take a deeper look at how grassroots conservatives view the early Presidential horse race.
