Pat Buchanan, Hamiltonian Nationalist?
As the Pittsford Perennialist has linked to the post, I should add a few thoughts on the future American Conservative. It would not be entirely discordant with the man associated with the magazine, Pat Buchanan, to become more overtly Hamiltonian Nationalist. Thomas DiLorenzo writes that Mr. Buchanan told him, "Alexander Hamilton is my hero." Buchanan does lean more towards a Hamiltonian position with respect to trade and tariffs (in contrast to "Jeffersonian" Southrons like Dr. Wilson) and focusing on manufacturing (rather than having a more agrarian view). But does Buchanan believe that the Constitution provides for a strong, centralized national government? I do not think so.
Nevertheless, we have a piece like James Pinkerton's Why Do We Have USDA? (It was balanced by this piece on Joel Salatin, Cultivating Freedom, in which Salatin criticized the USDA.) Scott Galupo appears to embrace the overly positive judgments of John Robert's opinion.
But if there is someone who stands opposed to Buchanan and is opposed to Buchanan's understanding of conservatism it is probably still Ron Unz. You can find reservations expressed about Mr. Unz by other conservatives in these posts. Something more recent by Mr. Unz: Immigration, the Republicans, and the End of White America.
Buchanan is right that we should build up manufacturing; does he embrace the model of large-scale concentrations of manufacturing in certain cities (like Detroit) or regions, or is he more willing to embrace something more diffuse (and humane and sustainable), at the expense of American "wealth"? Not that the United States can be said to be "prosperous" now, like it was in the latter half of the 20th century. Should we be trying to regain that position of economic power? And if Jeffersonians are believers in free trade, what place does trade hold in their science of politics in relation to the community and the common good? Do they allow for limits to trade?

Paul Krugman’s 'Civil War' Fantasies by Thomas J. DiLorenzo
For many, particularly those who uphold the conventional view of the American "Civil War," Mr. DiLorenzo is not a serious historian and his books discredit him. The cause of the South might be better served by someone more critical, but I enjoy reading a polemical piece, especially when the object of criticism is Paul Krugman.
