Pat Buchanan fired from his job at MSNBC

So reports The Pittsford Perrenialist:  Pat Buchanan Canned from MSNBC.  For the record, Buchanan has been "indefinitely suspended," which is media-speak for "fired."  It appears that Buchanan's views on illegal immigration and its not-so-slow demographic effect on the American populace were the heresies that got Pat removed from the liberal network.  Which is a sad commentary on the insularity and intolerance of the modern Left.

Buchanan was one of the first conservatives to stand up for the American working class in the face of the deliberate de-industrialization of our nation by its trans-national elites.  Buchanan was one of the few prominent conservatives to have argued, since the end of the Cold War in 1991, that the United States needed to reassess its military strategy overseas in order to adopt a more realistic and pragmatic approach to foreign policy. No knee-jerk right-winger, Buchanan draws from the well-springs of conservative thinkers as disparate as Robert Taft, Russell Kirk and Barry Goldwater to approach new problems and situations, both domestically and globally.  It was his encounters with working-class Americans during his 1992 GOP primary challenge to President George H.W. Bush that got him to rethink the utopian scheme of free trade.  And that's just one example of Buchanan putting people ahead of ideology.

One would think that such an approach would make Buchanan exactly the kind of independent conservative thinker that a network like MSNBC would want to have on board.  Alas, it is precisely Buchanan's independent streak that has run him afoul of that network -- when it comes to questions about America being a nation with actual borders and a common culture rooted in its Anglo-European heritage, dissent will not be tolerated at MSNBC.
