I wondered when I read this, how she expected the rest of us to pay the medical cost of treating her slit wrists. She could only offer that suggestion knowing that her medical costs are paid by the government. Then I thought, don't question the motives of a crazy person.

Instead of defending Hitler, Pat Buchanan should repudiate the military adventurism of George Bush which was an abomination to the conservative principles Pat so cherishes. The "unnecessary war" was the Iraq war and if Pat is intellectually honest he should be talking about that. Under the conservative principles, one could argue that BOTH Iraq wars were unnecessary and the previous war laid the foundation to the later one. Unless the conservatives come to grips with the disastrous policies of Bush and how they have undermined their core principles and destroyed their credibility in the public eye, no amount of historical revisionism is going to help their cause unless it this core schism is addressed.
