BUCHANAN: Well, look, in the battle against Marxism and Leninism, in economics and politics the Western civilization won, the United States won. The Soviet empire collapsed.
But what I called cultural Marxism and militant secularism are clearly winning in the United States of America.
You just did that ad by Paris Hilton (search). That would never have been shown in the '50s or '60s in the United States. If you take a look at the pornography and the filth that pours into American homes and you see the consequences in divorces and broken families and delinquency and all of the rest of them.
Hmm, I guess the Age of Aquarius really has won out. Pat Buchanan must have been smoking excellent weed to come up with something like that. Paris Hilton represents merely the commodification of slatternly heiresses -- a more capitalist phenomenon I can't imagine.
