I have no use for either one. I want fiscal conservatives, social liberals and religious people that keep their views internal. All three have one thing in common -- they are all about maximum individual freedom, minimal governmental intervention and require strong personal ethics and dedication. But, most importantly, this approach does not look for victims or others to blame. Call it the "buck stops here" mentality. Populism is almost always saturated with finding victims and those to blame it on. I have no use for that and Buchanan has done it with immigrants, foreigners, non0Catholics and any other group he chooses to marginalize to raise his stake. He was at the top of my list for a reason.
