Buchanan declares culture war in RNC primetime speech

Conservative commentator Patrick Buchanan addressed the Republican National Convention at the Houston Astrodome after winning 23 percent of GOP primary votes against incumbent George H.W. Bush. Buchanan told delegates "there is a religious war going on in this country... a cultural war, as critical to the kind of nation we shall be as was the Cold War itself." The speech ran long enough to push Ronald Reagan's farewell address out of primetime.
