Pat Buchanan Culture Wars Speech

I found this speech striking. Here in 1992 Pat Buchanan, a right-winged republican speaks of George Bush as a proper candidate for President (to serve a second term). He talks of the wide gap between the conservative right and liberal left. He speaks of freedom and refuses to allow for dissent from the liberal bias.

While this is all well and good (also proper because these ideals are protected by out Constitution) yet it opened my eyes. I have seen how far the Republican Party has come. In this speech, Buchanan openly bashes the gay community, liberals, and radical feminism. This might just be my opinion but now while the Republican Party still might house these ideals, they are less openly discussed and freely opposed.

Is this the changing of the Republican Party? Do the warring beliefs morph over time?

Another thing that is worth noting is that vocal performance by the audience. I have always assumed that vocalism was exhibited by the liberal left. However, this phenomena is found in all people, not just in the progressive left.
