Pat Buchanan admitting he's on the wrong side of history

It is interesting. There seems to be the notion that "being on the right side of history" (that is to say, the winning side, at least when the score is checked) is what this bespectacled fugitive from the Big Bang Theory considers "winning". If history is always right, then why is it Nazi Week, every week on the History Channel?

If you accept history for what it is: stuff that happened before, then you can free yourself of the temptation of needing to be right with the press, which writes history's first draft. It certainly isn't the evolutionary process where every wrong gets perfectly corrected with the passage of time. The good guys don't always win. Pat makes many predictions and I would not agree with all of them. He is certainly an honest man and a patriot but he isn't Nostradamus. He also makes the point that nations are necessarily bound by an ethnic bond, indispensable for it's success. I would say the opposite; it is ideology. If one looks at the ethnic earthquake that took place at the beginning of the twentieth century, it is clear that America not only endured but thrived. It was an American century. I would say that ideology is what will determine the course of the country and ethnic identity is really just a Trojan Horse used to to carry opposing schools of thought.
