In a time of political cowardice, rank opportunism and choking political correctness it takes a man like Pat Buchanan to cut through the bullshit. The venerable old culture warrior who went to China with Nixon and served under Ronald Reagan has seen it all and he certainly doesn’t like what he sees from Donald Trump’s political opposition. The GOPe’s three stooges – Marco, Ted and John – all sided with a thuggish pack of new black militants, leftist goons and Bernie Sanders worshipping, aspiring Marxists who shut down a Trump rally in Chicago last Friday. The establishment triad drew Buchanan’s opprobrium for their cookie cutter statements blaming the Donald for the roiling atmosphere of fear and loathing that has been nurtured by the media as the oligarchy has it’s scaly claws slowly being pried away from the necks of the people by the Trump revolution.
In his column “Brownshirts & Republican Wimps” Mr. Buchanan blasted Manny, Moe and Jack with both barrels:
Friday evening’s Donald Trump rally in Chicago was broken up by a foul-mouthed mob that infiltrated the hall and forced the cancelation of the event to prevent violence and bloodshed.
Brownshirt tactics worked. The mob, triumphant, rejoiced.
And the reaction of Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz and John Kasich?
All three Republican rivals blamed — Donald Trump.Friday evening’s Donald Trump rally in Chicago was broken up by a foul-mouthed mob that infiltrated the hall and forced the cancelation of the event to prevent violence and bloodshed.

Friday evening’s Donald Trump rally in Chicago was broken up by a foul-mouthed mob that infiltrated the hall and forced the cancelation of the event to prevent violence and bloodshed.

All three Republican rivals blamed — Donald Trump.
With his “dangerous style of leadership,” Trump stokes this anger, mewed Rubio, “This is what happens when a leading presidential candidate goes around feeding into a narrative of bitterness and anger and frustration.”
Rubio implies that if Trump doesn’t tone down his remarks to pacify the rabble, he will be responsible for the violence visited upon him.
Kasich echoed Rubio: “Donald Trump has created a toxic environment (that) has allowed his supporters and those who sometimes seek confrontation to come together in violence.”
But were the thousands of Trump supporters who came out to cheer him that night really looking for a fight? Or were they exercising their right of peaceful assembly?
Cruz charged Trump with “creating an environment that only encourages this sort of nasty discord,” thus offering absolution to the mob.
Friday night cried out for moral clarity. What we got from Trump’s rivals was moral mush that called to mind JFK’s favorite quote from Dante: The hottest places in Hell are reserved for those who in time of moral crisis maintain their neutrality.
As news outlets have reported, Friday’s disruption at the University of Illinois-Chicago auditorium was a preplanned assault.
Behind it were the George Soros-funded MoveOn.org, Black Lives Matter, Occupy Wall Street, Hispanics hoisting Mexican flags and cop-haters carrying filthy signs to show their contempt for police.
People for Bernie, a pro-Sanders outfit, tweeted, “[This] wasn’t just luck. It took organizers from dozens of organizations and thousands of people to pull off. Great work.”
AND
Can one imagine how the media would pile on Trump if working-class white males in Trump T-shirts invaded a Hillary Clinton rally and shut it down?
Can one imagine how the networks and cable TV channels that host town halls with the candidates would react if hell-raisers snuck into their audiences and shouted obscenities during discussions?
The keening over the First Amendment would not cease for weeks.

The media and Republican party have moved on from Mr. Buchanan who is now treated like a crazy uncle who needs to be fed his meds and locked in the attic. However, anyone else who values a future of freedom and not a dystopian society of thought crime, government oppression and coercion that is being forced upon America by the establishment should heed his wisdom.
