Pat Buchanan is an Atheist Homosexual

It was a classic exercise in denial. Concerned about reports leaking out that the famous conservative has been seeking out the comforts of young men, Pat BuchananPat Buchanan issued a longwinded editorial on HumanEvents.com, in which he lambasted the New York Times for celebrating California's recent decision to strike down a ruling making it illegal for same sex couples to marry. Contending that the event was symptomatic of a decline of Christianity in the West, Buchanan sounded off the age-old complain that without tradition, all we will be left with is anarchy.

It would be nice to think that Buchanan's ritual condemnation of homosexuality was something other than an expression of opinion. That, by beating up on gay Americans, and inciting against them, the former Reform Party leader is expressing a difference in ideology. Unfortunately, the depth of Buchanan's criticisms reveal something far different than your run of the mill hate speech. His dramatic investment in attacking the legislation of homosexuality suggests
something far different, and more complex.

To put it bluntly, the enemy of big government is demanding that the state help save Buchanan from himself. Pat Buchanan wants Christianity and civil law to forbid Americans from engaging in homosexual behavior because Buchanan wants the state to restrain himself. A Ted Haggard in his own making, its time to out Pat Buchanan for who he really is: A Log Cabin Republican, who hides behind the metaphorical trees he cuts down in American politics.
