  • Patrick Joseph Buchanan, “Culture War Speech: Address to the Republican National Convention” (17 August 1992)
    Voices of Democracy 7 (2012): 47‐59 Miller 47 PATRICK JOSEPH BUCHANAN, “CULTURE WAR SPEECH: ADDRESS TO THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION” (17 AUGUST 1992) Eric C. Miller Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania Abstract: Patrick Buchanan's speech from the 1992 Republican National Convention is frequently cited as a definitive artifact of the culture wars of the late twentieth century. After challenging President George H.W. Bush in the Republican Primary, Buchanan agreed to endorse Bush in exchange for a primetime speaking slot at the RNC in Houston. Having attacked Bush over tax policy, Buchanan drew on social issues to stir passions and unite the GOP behind Bush's candidacy. Keywords: Buchanan, Bush, culture war, family values, Republican National Convention On August 17, 1992, conservative commentator Patrick J. Buchanan addressed the Republican National Convention, delivering a speech that would long be remembered as the definitive statement of the American "culture war." Diagnosing the national condition as one of spiritual decline, Buchanan neatly divided the American populace into two competing camps— one that was traditional, patriotic, and conservative, and another that was radical, deviant, and fiercely liberal. A vote for George H. W. Bush, Buchanan declared, was a vote for the former; a vote for William Jefferson Clinton was a vote for the latter. If Americans were to emerge from their spiritual descent and return to the "Judeo‐Christian" values upon which the nation was founded, it was vital that they support of the Republican ticket. Couched in the language of warfare, the stakes of Buchanan's vision were unmistakably high. But in order to understand Buchanan's argument—indeed, to understand why he was afforded a speaking slot at the RNC in the first place—one must first understand a few things about his life, career, politics, and the context in which these events unfolded.

As recently documented by NPR, 1993 proved to be an important — nay, essential — year for hip-hop. It was the year that saw 2Pac become an icon, Biz Markie entangled in a precedent-setting sample lawsuit, and the rise of the Wu-Tang Clan. Indeed, there are few other years in hip- hop history that have borne witness to so many important releases or events, save for 1983, in which rap powerhouse Def Jam was founded in Russell Simmons’ dorm room, or 1988, which saw the release of about a dozen or so game-changing releases. So this got us thinking: Is there really a best year for hip-hop? As Treble’s writers debated and deliberated, we came up with a few different answers, mostly in the forms of blocks of four or five years each. But there was one thing they all had in common: they were all in the 1990s. Now, some of this can be chalked up to age — most of Treble’s staff and contributors were born in the 1980s, and cut their musical teeth in the 1990s.

  • Controversial Political Activist Angela Bay Buchanan to Speak at Cal Poly April 6
    News & Events University News & Information California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, California April 1, 2004 Contact: Blake Bolton Cal Poly College Republicans (858) 382-0822 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Controversial Political Activist Angela Bay Buchanan to Speak at Cal Poly April 6 SAN LUIS OBISPO -- Continuing its Conservative Lecture Series, the Cal Poly College Republicans, a student club, is hosting Angela Bay Buchanan in an on-campus speech Tuesday, April 6, beginning at 7 p.m. in the silo of the Orfalea College of Business building. Buchanan will speak on the failures of feminism and the rights of the unborn child, among other conservative issues, said club spokesman Blake Bolton. "Her speeches on college campuses have been very heated, and spark controversy with liberal faculty and students," Bolton said. Buchanan is president of American Cause, an educational foundation dedicated to advancing traditional conservative issues. She has also served as the campaign chairman for all of her brother Pat Buchanan's presidential campaigns. Currently, Buchanan is a regular political analyst for "Inside Politics" on CNN, where she debates Donna Brazile. From September 1996 through August 1999, Bay co-anchored "Equal Time," a political talk show on CNBC and then MSNBC. In addition, she worked as a political analyst for "Good Morning America" throughout the general election in 1992. From 1996-1997, Buchanan hosted a two-hour radio talk show covering current events. Buchanan began her political career as the National Treasurer of Ronald Reagan's presidential campaigns in 1980 and 1984. In 1981, then-President Reagan appointed her to serve as Treasurer of the United States.

KNOBLAUCH has been approved for the Department of History and the College of Arts and Sciences by __________________________________ Chester J. Pach Associate Professor of History __________________________________ Howard Dewald Dean, College of Arts and Sciences 3 ABSTRACT KNOBLAUCH, WILLIAM M., Ph.D., March 2012, History Selling the Second Cold War: Antinuclear Cultural Activism and Reagan Era Foreign Policy Director of Dissertation: Chester J. Pach This dissertation examines how 1980s antinuclear activists utilized popular culture to criticize the Reagan administration’s arms buildup. The 1970s and the era of détente marked a decade-long nadir for American antinuclear activism. Ronald Reagan’s rise to the presidency in 1981 helped to usher in the “Second Cold War,” a period of reignited Cold War animosities that rekindled atomic anxiety. As the arms race escalated, antinuclear activism surged. Alongside grassroots movements, such as the nuclear freeze campaign, a unique group of antinuclear activists—including publishers, authors, directors, musicians, scientists, and celebrities—challenged Reagan’s military buildup in American mass media and popular culture. These activists included Fate of the Earth author Jonathan Schell, Day After director Nicholas Meyer, and “nuclear winter” scientific-spokesperson Carl Sagan.
