I don't support Buchanan but its foolish to ignore the problem that uncontrolled illegal immigration and abortion on demand has created in our country. JLA

>IMO, Buchanan is a statist of the worst order, both on fiscal and social positions, the prototypical anti-libertarian. If the Reform Party embraces him, they are screwed.< I think the Reform Party is screwed already, Ace Ventura or naught. The mere fact it has made overtures toward Buchanan, of all people, indicates to me the principles the party claims to hold are ultimately nonessential. >I have to laugh when he yammers on about locking our borders to non-European immigrants, while at the same time supporting the anti-birth control agenda that leads to so many poor and desperate people seeking to better their lives in this country.< Well I see no logical or moral contradiction between Buchanan's positions here at all. Merely because he is against birth control is no reason to think he is logically or morally compelled to accept liberal access to the United States. But for the record, I have tried very hard to justify a basic belief against birth control (non-aborting) and cannot do it. In my opinion the Scriptures by no means prohibit it, and as far as I can see no secular line of reasoning can clearly proscribe it. On the other hand I can easily justify restricting foreign access to this country and in fact think we should do it posthaste. We should also vigourously expel illegal immigrants from the country.
