Yellowhammer News announced today that it will begin running conservative stalwart Pat Buchanan’s column, bringing its readers a national conservative voice they can trust.
“Pat has been at the forefront of the conservative movement for decades, and his wit and wisdom will serve our readers well,” said the site’s editor, J. Pepper Bryars, who worked as a low-level campaign aide on Buchanan’s 1996 run for president.
“Pat didn’t make it to the White House, but his ideas did,” Bryars said. “Back in the mid-’90s, he was talking about building a fence across the southern border and fighting for better trade deals. Many within our movement demonized him as a fear monger and an isolationist. Thankfully, he never gave up.”
Buchanan began his long career in politics and journalism as an editorial writer for newspapers before becoming an aide to President Richard Nixon. He then went on to become a nationally known author and columnist, the communications director for President Ronald Reagan, host of the popular CNN program “Cross Fire,” and then launched an insurgent bid for the presidency.
Buchanan has long seen our current struggles as having more to do with culture than politics. It’s been a quarter-century since he took the stage at the 1992 Republican National Convention and introduced the phrase “culture war” into our nation’s lexicon.
“There is a religious war going on in our country for the soul of America,” Buchanan said. “It is a cultural war, as critical to the kind of nation we will one day be as was the Cold War itself.”
Yellowhammer News will soon announce other nationally known writers who will be appearing on the site to provide variety and balance among the many perspectives within the conservative movement.
Buchanan’s column will be published twice a week on Yellowhammer News.
