'''Patrick Joseph Buchanan''' is a noted [[conservative]] commentator, author, and three-time candidate for [[President of the United States]].
==Background==
Pat Buchanan was born November 2, 1938 in [[Washington, D.C.]]. He is a lifelong [[Roman Catholic]]. He earned his bachelor's degree from [[Georgetown University]] in 1961 and his master's degree in journalism from [[Columbia University]] in 1962.
At age 23 he was hired by the ''[[St. Louis Globe-Democrat]]'' as an editorial writer. He was a supporter of the [[Barry Goldwater]] campaign for President in 1964.
==Government service==
In 1965, Buchanan was hired by the law firm of [[Richard Nixon]], and the next year, as a researcher for the Nixon Presidential campaign. Following Nixon's 1968 victory, Buchanan worked as a [[speechwriter]] and White House special assistant for the Nixon Administration and the [[Gerald Ford|Ford]] Administration.
Buchanan also served as White House Communications Director during the [[Ronald Reagan]] administration, from 1985 to 1987.
==News commentator==
Buchanan became a radio commentator starting in the 1970s, and a regular on ''[[The McLaughlin Group]]'' and [[CNN]]'s ''[[Crossfire]]'' starting in the early 1980s.
==Presidential campaigns==
Buchanan has run for President three times. In 1992, he sought the [[Republican Party]] nomination against then-President [[George H.W. Bush]]. Many conservatives were alienated from the first Bush administration's policies, especially his reneging on his "read my lips, no new taxes" pledge and his frequent use of the term, "[[New World Order]]" to describe his [[foreign policy]] goals. Buchanan offered conservatives who were disillusioned by the Bush Administration a choice in the 1992 primaries. Buchanan came in a distant second in the primaries but is remembered for his fiery keynote speech at the 1992 Republican convention.
In 1996, Buchanan sought the Republican nomination again, and pulled an upset victory in the [[New Hampshire]] primary. However, after [[Bob Dole]] emerged as the clear favorite after the [[Super Tuesday]] primaries, Buchanan suspended his campaign.
In 2000, Buchanan left the Republican Party and announced his intention to seek the [[Reform Party]] nomination for President. He easily won the Reform Party nomination over his main rival for the nomination, [[John Hagelin]], but carried only about 1/4 of 1% of the votes in the general election, coming in fourth place behind [[George W. Bush]], [[Al Gore]], and [[Ralph Nader]].
==Author==
Since the end of the [[Cold War]], Pat Buchanan has been largely identified with the [[paleoconservative]] wing of the conservative movement. As such he is an opponent of [[free trade]], a critic of mass [[immigration]], and a critic of foreign policy interventionism such as the [[Iraq War]], positions which put him at odds with the [[neoconservative]]s. He has written several books on these and other topics:
* ''Right from the Beginning'' (1988)
* ''The Great Betrayal: How American Sovereignty and Social Justice Are Being Sacrificed to the Gods of the Global Economy'' (1998)
* ''A Republic, Not an Empire: Reclaiming America's Destiny'' (1999)
* ''The Death of the West: How Dying Populations and Immigrant Invasions Imperil Our Country and Civilization'' (2002)
* ''Where the Right Went Wrong: How Neoconservatives Subverted the Reagan Revolution and Hijacked the Bush Presidency'' (2004)
* ''State of Emergency: The Third World Invasion and Conquest of America'' (2006)
He is also a co-founder and founding editor of ''[[The American Conservative]]'' magazine.
