Roberts, who spoke on the Thom Hartmann radio program, said: "When Bush exercises this authority [under the new Executive Order], there's no check to it. So it really is a form of total, absolute, one-man rule."

What an idiotic statement.

[Mase]

Hey, Paul. This is for you.

[SJackson]

Among other things, he's a truther.

Myself I'd never trust Wiki, but they're a good source when they provide footnotes/sources, so my guess what he said, he said.

[familyop]

...more crap from the Euro-religious identity Kennedy wing. Our President should kick the rest of them out of our Government, stop trying to be one of them, and put Iran down.

We should have a one-day amnesty for all the banned FReepers to comment on this thread.

Has anyone pinged the Paulistinians?

Paul Craig Roberts, please meet Ramsey Clark and Micheal Moore. You have a lot in common.

ColdWar-I sucked inhaled vigorously enough. I'm too old for a reprise. Don't the Russians ever get tired of being stupid?

[SJackson]

It’s a long term thing, but I suspect they’re ready for a rematch. The mideast is still a rich prize

Does this executive order pass the Clinton test? Would we on Free republic be happy with Hillary at the reigns with this executive order in place?

I don’t trust Wikipedia at all either; however, I have found it occassionally useful and entertaining. That said, his Wikipedia entry is a laugh riot.

More from wikipedia on Paul Craig Roberts:

Roberts is also a critic of a potential Bush administration attack on Iran. In an August 15, 2005 article, he states “Bush...dismisses all facts and assurances and is willing to attack Iran based on nothing but Israel’s paranoia.”

Although his criticisms of Bush often seem to align him with the political left, Roberts continues to praise Ronald Reagan and to endorse many of Reagan’s policies, arguing that “true conservatives” were the “first victims” of the neoconized Bush administration [2].

He has said that many supporters of George W. Bush “are brownshirts with the same low intelligence and morals as Hitler’s enthusiastic supporters.”[3]

In 1993 the Forbes Media Guide ranked him as one of the top seven journalists in the United States [1].

Back to me. You’ll note that each of the quotes I pulled have source references from the Wiki entry.

Feel the love people. I’d wager any amount of money this guy plays for the wrong team, if you know what I mean.

They’re a good source of sources, and often reliable, but political issues, trust but verify.

Paul Craig Roberts has been steadily slipping down the mental toilet for about seven years. I was there when he got a prestigious writing award. He's fallen apart since then. No one should take anything he says now with any seriousness. It's sad to see a talented person throw it all away.

I think Paul Craig Roberts has gone off the deep end. He has a BAD case of BDS!

There were folks on the right who were just SURE that x42 was going to do this in Jan. 2001.

“Does this executive order pass the Clinton test? Would we on Free republic be happy with Hillary at the reigns with this executive order in place?”

I don’t hink the order is a good idea no matter who is in office, that being said whats’ that got to do with what I posted?

[ShandaLear]

I remember some here saying the same thing about Clinton.
