The Wright Brothers are so unusual from today's perspective, and still inspiring, because they did it all themselves.

The journalist, television commentator, and former presidential candidate Patrick J. Buchanan has been sharply criticized by his fellow Republicans for allegedly betraying Republican party "free-market" principles in his new book, The Great Betrayal. In the book Buchanan argues for protectionism and claims to have presented the strongest case ever made for "economic nationalism." This, his Republican critics allege, is contrary to what Republicans have always stood for.
