By Patrick J. Buchanan Is the world headed for a debt crisis to dwarf the one that befell us in 2008, when Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson stood aside and let Lehman Brothers crash? No one knows for certain. As Yogi Berra said, "it's tough to make predictions, especially about the future." But the probability of a financial crisis increased this week after President Obama's trashing of Continue reading...

Obama Blows up the Bridge
Friday - April 15, 2011 at 2:00 am
By Patrick J. Buchanan "Rather than building bridges, he's poisoning wells," said Rep. Paul Ryan, after listening to Barack Obama's scathing attack on his deficit reduction plan as a shredding of America's social contract with the elderly and poor. Ryan is right. Yet, with Obama's partisan savagery, virtually calling the GOP plan immoral, we have clarity. There will be no grand bipartisan Continue reading...

Barack Hussein Alinsky
Tuesday - February 22, 2011 at 12:46 am
By Patrick J. Buchanan As a large and furious demonstration was under way outside and inside the Capitol in Madison last week, Barack Obama invited in a TV camera crew from Milwaukee and proceeded to fan the flames.

Sputnik Moment — or GM Moment?
Friday - January 28, 2011 at 12:44 am
By Patrick J. Buchanan What America was to the world in 1950, General Motors was to the nation. It was the largest and most successful company with the largest number of employees. It paid the highest wages and contributed more in taxes than any other company. During World War II, no company had contributed more to the Arsenal of Democracy and America's victory. As one wag said, "For Continue reading...

And the Debt Bomb Ticks On
Thursday - January 27, 2011 at 1:56 am
By Patrick J. Buchanan With his approval rating moving up to 50 percent and higher in some polls, the pundits are all agreed. President Obama has turned the corner. He is now the winter-book favorite in 2012. How, two months after his "shellacking," did he do it? First, by taking the wheel from Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, cutting a deal to extend the Bush tax cuts, bringing aboard Bill Continue reading...

Are the Deficits Forever?
Friday - January 7, 2011 at 12:58 am
By Patrick J. Buchanan "The success of a party means little except when the nation is using that party for a large and definite purpose," said Woodrow Wilson in his first inaugural. "No one can mistake the purpose for which the nation now seeks to use the Democratic Party." As with Wilson's Democrats in 1913, so it is with the Republican Party today. It has been called to power for the Continue reading...
Can Democracy Cope?
Tuesday - December 14, 2010 at 2:23 am
By Patrick J. Buchanan For those who have read about or vaguely remember the stolid British tribe of Dunkirk, the Battle of Britain and the Blitz, which held out in its "finest hour," last week brought a disgusting sight. Mobs in Parliament Square set fire to the statue of 19th century statesman Lord Palmerston and urinated on the statue of Winston Churchill. Pink Floyd's kid was swinging by Continue reading...
