Poor Paul no longer shows up on the pundits page on NewsMax. I've enjoyed posting his nonsense since even FR's doom and gloomers like Willie Green (may he whine in peace) and A.Pole realized that Paul had gone insane.

I thought perhaps he was taking a break for the New Year, but he seems to have scribbled 8 columns so far this year for VDARE, so we might not see any more of his "wisdom" on Free Republic.

Paul's last hurrah? Ping!!

[AnAmericanMother]

Anybody who starts out his column treating fiction as truth has no place to go but downhill.

Obligatory graphic.

>>>>Congress appropriated funds for building concentration camps in the United States

Anyone have a link for more about this?

[dighton]

There was no debate in Nazi Germany and Stalinist Russia, and none today in the United States.

So, PCR, how are things in the concentration camp?

He says he's concerned about truth and then he tosses out one whopper after another.

[Sherman Logan]

Tey makes the point that if a 20th century mystery writer can detect the truth about a 15th century murder, historians have no excuse to persist in writing in school textbooks that Richard murdered his nephews.

Remarkably large IF.

Nobody knows who murdered the little princes. The theory that Henry VII did it is based on the highly unlikely theory that Richard III would keep them locked up incommunicado as his support eroded because of suspicion he'd bumped them off.

Paul forgets that its only his liberal friends and their constituents for whom history begins when they wake up in the morning.

Not Free Republic.

...but he seems to have scribbled 8 columns so far this year for VDARE, so we might not see any more of his "wisdom" on Free Republic.

Good riddance to bad trash. At least with VDARE, he's finally with his own kind. Even the insane need company.

[wideawake]

Obviously he's a lunatic.

But he repeats here a couple of tropes popular among palaeocon leftists and other leftists.

(1) President Lincoln never said before, during or after the Civil War that his goal was to free the slaves. His stated goal was to preserve the Union and he said openly that freeing the slaves or keeping them in bondage was a subordinate concern to this goal.

(2) President Bush never said that his goal was freedom in Iraq. He said that his goal was the removal of a dictator whose regime was inimical to US interests and US security. Freedom for Iraqis was a positive externality.

[Night Hides Not]

Just like some great opuses (opii?) I've read here on FreeRepublic, PCR goes out with a bang.

Seriously though, he needs to put his bong down. His grasp of history is tenuous, at best.

[NeoCaveman]

There was no debate in Nazi Germany and Stalinist Russia, and none today in the United States.

This guy wins the Dick Durbin-Democrat Underground Award of the Day.

Good job, man with three first names.

P.S. If he had worked in Jenjis Khan he could have also won the John F Kerry award.

Recently, Newt Gingrich, the former speaker of the House, said that freedom of speech is inconsistent with "the war on terror."

No, he didn't, and that is a perfect example of Roberts claiming to defend the truth by lying through his teeth. It is, though, telling that he cites the "solution" of the dead princes as an example of how we ought to treat the truth. It was pure fiction.

[Bahbah]

Is this man insane?

[Lancey Howard]

Roberts is an anti-Semite.

[AdvisorB]

It's hard to believe that Paul Craig Roberts was once a respected member of the conservative movement in America. I remember reading his articles about the Reagan Tax Cuts, supply side economics, and how the Reagan revolution would turn America around from the doldrum of Carter's double-digit unemployment, double-digit interest rates, double-digit inflation, and a double-digit misery index. Then he abruptly resigned from the Reagan Administration's Treasury Department, and he hasn't been the same since.

[KevinDavis]

What the heck was he talking about?????

[RichInOC]

When the Clinton administration allowed the media concentration in the 1990s, the independence of the American media was destroyed.

Why, yes. As we all know, the media's deathly afraid of running afoul of the government. Particularly this current administration. They wouldn't dare say or print anything to get on Dubya's bad side. No, really. Stop laughing. It's true.

PCR's indistinguishable from Dick Durbin now.
