Shutdown: Conservatives' Honorable Battle

"In the campaign to persuade America of their big lie — that the House Republicans shut down the govern — the White House and its media chorus appear to have won this round," writes Pat Buchanan. "This is an honorable battle lost, not a war. ... And if Republicans are paralyzed by polls produced by this three-week skirmish, they should reread the history of the party and the movement to which they profess to belong."

Recounting conservatives' long-term success following a similar internal party struggle in the early 1960s between the conservative Barry Goldwater camp and the liberal Nelson Rockefeller camp, Buchanan predicts that the "people who fought the battle of Obamacare will be proven right to have fought it, and America will come to see this."
