MGB:_Buchanan provided a patina of academic legitimacy to the ideiology for hire desires of Charles Koch and the culture of profit over all, hardly a mark of Christianity or good economics. Later efforts to justify supply side economics gave us tax cuts, which along with union busting, kept worker salaries at the rate of inlfation while the productivity gains of these workers mostly went to the CEO class. Even the odd investor got a normal return. It must also be noted that even thoug Koch is a libertarian, he is willing to let ALEC go down that pro-life road to keep the masses happy, both in the Tea Party and in parishes and Chanceries across the nations. They have no real plan for success, but they want to keep the base fired up, just like the gun manufacturers do on the Second Amendment. The GOP propaganda machine is not aimed at thinking progressives but is meant to fool its own base. The last election shows it is largely successful. Even MSW still buys the pro-life line that Roe can be overturned and that the states can decide on abortion law.
