No, that would not be the case at all. Pitchfork Pat supports Ron Paul. Ron Paul, in turn, gave his blessings to the OWS crowd in the last debate when he called the human debris “victims”. None of that is ad hominem, those are all easily proven facts.
My problem is with Pat Buchanan, who calls America “imperialist”. My problem with Ron Paul, is, well, Ron Paul.
And what does any of this have to do with the book or article?
Ron Paul is like a broken clock. He has a few good ideas and lots of bad ideas. Paul is a principled libertarian. He isn’t a conservative though.
The United States is an empire. Are you kidding? Just how many military bases do we have overseas? How many troops do we have deployed overseas? How many foreign alliances are we entangled in now?
What do you call Puerto Rico? What about Guam? Of course America has an empire. The dollar is the world’s reserve currency because America is an empire.
