    Sure you've not confused him with Pat Buchanan (or Pat Robertson)? From the Wikipedia page of Mr Pat Boone Politics Boone campaigned for Ronald Reagan to become Governor of California in 1966 and 1970, and actively supported Reagan's bid for the Republican presidential nomination in 1976. He was a vocal supporter of the Vietnam War. In 2006, Boone wrote an article for WorldNetDaily, in which he argued that Democrats and others who were against the president during the Iraq War could be questioned for their patriotism.[24] He was interviewed by Neil Cavuto on Fox News, where he expressed his outrage toward opponents of George W. Bush (in particular the Dixie Chicks). He said that their criticisms of the president showed they did not "respect their elders".[25] In the 2007 Kentucky gubernatorial election, Boone campaigned for incumbent Republican Ernie Fletcher with a prerecorded automated telephone message stating that the Democratic Party candidate Steve Beshear would support "every homosexual cause." As part of the campaign, Boone asked, "Now do you want a governor who'd like Kentucky to be another San Francisco?"[26] More recently, he assisted the McCain 2008 presidential campaign by lending his voice to automated campaign phonecalls. On December 6, 2008 Boone wrote an article for WorldNetDaily wherein he drew analogies between recent gay rights protests and recent terrorist attacks in Mumbai, India. He reminded readers of hostage taking, exploding bombs, systematic murder and chaotic conditions of carnage. In it, he asserted that marriage is a biblically ordained institution, which the government has no part in defining. He then stated that equal rights for women and blacks were not "obtained by threats and violent demonstrations and civil disruption" but rather through due process. He concluded by warning that unless they're checked, the "hedonistic, irresponsible, blindly selfish goals and tactics of homegrown sexual jihadists will escalate into acts vile, violent and destructive".[27] On August 29, 2009, Boone wrote an article comparing liberalism to cancer, likening it to "black filthy cells".[28] In December 2009, Boone agreed to endorse the conservative U.S. congressional candidate John Wayne Tucker ® for his campaign in Missouri's 3rd Congressional District against incumbent Russ Carnahan (D) for the 2010 mid term elections.[29] In 2009, Boone stated his belief that Barack Obama is not eligible to serve as the President of the United States.[30][31] Boone also has stated that Barack Obama is fluent in Arabic and read the Koran in Arabic as a boy.[30] He has also stated that President Obama "hasn’t celebrated any Christian holidays in the White House."[30] Boone received a lifetime achievement award at the 38th annual Conservative Political Action Conference held in February 2011.[32] I see, was aware he was pretty right-wing but didn't know he was so political with it. There seems to be a lot of right-leaning 'Pats' in the US of A Maybe they keep forgetting the R s
