So does the author like or dislike Bush? I wish he wasn’t so unequivocal.

Obviously Paul Craig Roberts is receiving funds from the oil companies since he never even mentioned human caused global warming.

There are some parallels between former mainstream conservatives like Pat Buchanan and Paul Craig Roberts and former mainstream liberal Naomi Wolf. Buchanan and Roberts worked for the Nixon and Reagan administrations, as Wolf did for the Clinton and Gore election campaigns in 1996 and 2000. All three had long connections with the networks of foundations, media outlets, and universities on their respective sides of the mainstream. Roberts was a Senior Research Fellow at the Hoover Institution, and later held the William E. Simon Chair in Political Economy at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. Buchanan has a long history in the conservative mainstream and broadcasting prior to the 1990s. Wolf was a popular writer of feminist nonfiction and a frequent speaker at college campuses, evidence of her strong affinity with liberal publishing houses and educational institutions. None of their career paths resemble those of Alex Jones or Lyndon LaRouche.
All three have come to the same conclusion, that America is doomed, from different perspectives. Let's hope they are misguided.

When Pat talks everyone listens especially on this site.
Of course Pat is the best analyst of America future. Pat was right about illegal immigration, deficit trade deals will cost Americans jobs, foreign entanglements will bring war to our shores, abortion and gay practices are bad for this country and RINOs and Neocons have taken over the GOP and converted it to liberal lite.
Pat shows us the ghost of America’s future if we continue to follow the path of British empire builders. Ghost of the future I fear thee most of all. God Bless Us Everyone.

But momentarily, the drive toward tyranny has been blunted because the vast majority of detainees turned out to be hapless individuals sold into American captivity by warlords responding to the bounty the United States paid for "terrorists." Any unprotected individual was vulnerable to being captured by Afghan and Pakistani warlords and sold as a "terrorist." The Americans needed to show results, and the Bush regime needed "terrorists" in order to feed the fear its propaganda had generated. This is an important allegation, and needs to be either substantiated or convincingly refuted.

Buchanan (somewhat) and this author (entirely) are modern-day versions of the Boy Who Cried Wolf. Being correct on cultural and societal issues (such as illegal immigration, education, etc.) should not allow their blatant (and I argue, deliberate) mis-statements regarding the WOT and the economy to get a free pass.

Eminent domain abuse. BATFE's continued assault on FFL's and otherwise legal gun owners. The Clean Water Restoration Act of 2007 expansion of every moist spot in the Country. The continued excising of ALL Judeo-Christian religion from ANY public mention (and I say that as an agnostic/heathen who still thinks PC has gotten WAY out of hand). The over reaching and fraudulent education system continuing to operate more as propaganda centers than learning institutions.
You need more? I can think up thousands. Maybe not what the author above was thinking... but it does address your question.
Yeah.... this Country is sinking. Badly. I highly doubt anyone connected to Pat has any of the answers on how to fix things either.

First we see:Overnight, the United States became a tyranny...
Two paragraphs later we see:
But momentarily, the drive toward tyranny has been blunted...
So... are we or aren't we a tyranny? I so confused.

What??? Where have you been living-on an island? Our freedoms have been eroding the last 20 years piecemeal. Brady bill-3 day wait for one. In many locals you cannot even build a 12 x 12 storage shed on your property without getting local city approval/permits.

I find it hard to believe that the nation is worse off than it was in 1987. :p It is worse now in terms of moral and cultural issues.

.They haven't been right about a single thing in 20 plus years of this same non stop doom and gloom wailing! Obviously you have not read anything from Pat over the last 20 years. 15 years ago his prediction on illegals and moral issues are dead on.

Buchanan explains how hubris, ideology and greed have torn America apart.
Let me be the first to correct Pat.....
Hubris, ideology, and greed BUILT AMERICA,
guilt, and socialism are what’s tearing it apart.

Name ONE, Wolfie. The list would be pretty long IMO.
The SCOTUS decision to allow property to be taken for "the greater common good" which we all know is nothing but land snatching.
Every day something is being banned, all in the name of "safety" or for "our own good"
New laws regulating everything from smoking to walking are being created on an almost daily basis.
Maybe you need to wake up and smell the tyranny my friend.
