I might have taken you halfway seriously if you'd spelled messiah correctly.

You're everybody's bitch here, rex.

I like a good percentage of what Buchanan has to say, but I also disagree with him on some issues. That hardly qualifies as "worship".

For example, the auto bailout. Buchanan advocates saving the industry to save millions of jobs for blue collar America. But I see that as continuing to subsidize an industry that will use the subsidy to remain inefficient, and is bound to fail anyway, at whatever point the subsidies end. It just prolongs the process with false security.
The only way for the industry to change is to declare bankruptcy, so they can escape all the union contractual obligations that render the U.S. auto manufacturers unable to compete with Japanese manufacturers. Getting out of their contractual obligations to excessive union demands would allow U.S. auto manufacturers to truly reform and become efficient.

(I would be more threatened by Japanese auto manufacturers, if they didn't have manufacturing facilities in the U.S., that create U.S. jobs and taxable individual and corporate income inside the U.S.)
