Well, I've only been reading the guy for a few months, but he seems to pine for the old Republic, is very libertarian on personal/economic/cultural issues, anti-UN and "world government," doesn't appear as transparently racist as his hero Buchanan (he's been quite good on Arab profiling), but is anti-socialist, thinks the US could have (and perhaps should have) stayed out of WW2, and believes that Ronald Radosh has sold out his "old" principled conservatism for the newer, Hororwitz-approved imperial model. Indeed, he doesn't go after the left as often as he does the right-- perhaps this is personal, but no matter, I still enjoy his screeds even when I think he's full of shit.
