By Patrick J. Buchanan Thanks to Tea Party fanatics, we are told, America just lost an historic opportunity to deal with her national debt. Because of Tea Party intransigence and threats against their own leader John Boehner, the speaker had to reject Obama's "grand bargain," the "big deal" of $3 trillion in budget cuts for $1 trillion in "revenue enhancement." These crazed ideologues, Continue reading...

Is Obama Only Postponing the Inevitable?
Friday - June 24, 2011 at 1:15 am
By Patrick J. Buchanan In deciding to pull all of the 30,000 troops from the surge out of Afghanistan, six weeks before Election Day 2012, but only 10,000 by year's end, President Obama has satisfied neither the generals nor the doves. He has, however, well served his political interests. A larger drawdown would have risked the gains made in Kandahar and Helmand and invited a revolt of Continue reading...

Return of the Anti-Interventionist Right
Tuesday - June 7, 2011 at 1:01 am
By Patrick J. Buchanan Late last month, when U.S. air strikes caused civilian casualties in Afghanistan, an angry Hamid Karzai issued an ultimatum. If future U.S. strikes are not restricted, we will take "unilateral action" and America may be treated like an "occupying power." That brought this blistering retort from one Republican hawk. "If President Karzai continues with these public Continue reading...

Democratic Dawn — or Darkness?
Thursday - May 26, 2011 at 11:18 pm
By Patrick J. Buchanan "Right now, socially, we are disintegrating." So says Mohamed ElBaradei, former head of the International Atomic Energy Agency and potential candidate for president of Egypt. Indeed, post-revolutionary Egypt appears to be coming apart. Since the heady days of Tahrir Square, Salafis have been killing Christians. Churches have been destroyed. Gangs have conducted Continue reading...

When Dictators Fall, Who Rises?
Tuesday - April 26, 2011 at 12:06 am
By Patrick J. Buchanan One month before the invasion of Iraq, Riah Abu el-Assal, a Palestinian and the Anglican bishop of Jerusalem at the time, warned Tony Blair, "You will be responsible for emptying Iraq, the homeland of Abraham, of Christians." The bishop proved a prophet. "After almost 2,000 years," writes the Financial Times, "Iraqi Christians now openly contemplate extinction. Some Continue reading...

Are We Allied to a Corpse?
Tuesday - April 19, 2011 at 12:45 am
By Patrick J. Buchanan Of our Libyan intervention, one thing may be safely said, and another safely predicted. When he launched his strikes on the Libyan army and regime, Barack Obama did not think it through. And this nation is now likely to be drawn even deeper into that war. For Moammar Gadhafi's forces not only survived the U.S. air and missile strikes, after which we turned the air Continue reading...

A Foolish and Unconstitutional War
Wednesday - March 23, 2011 at 12:48 pm
By Patrick J. Buchanan "The president does not have power under the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation." So said constitutional scholar and Senator Barack Obama in December 2007 -- the same man who, this weekend, ordered U.S. air and missile strikes on Libya without any Continue reading...
