Pat Buchanan may have a big name, but unfortunately, he turned out to have a small vision. Though Hagelin is not well known, his vision is broader and bigger. As someone who ran twice for the U.S. presidency as an independent and an unknown, I have an appreciation of both the difficulties he encounters and the positive impact he can have. That is John Hagelin s vision. I call that populism.
Some people call it centrism.
But just about everyone other than Pat Buchanan agrees that it is not social conservatism. John Hagelin s vision of inclusivity and democracy has my support.
