On Bush "Free Trade" Policies:

"It is false to say President Bush presided over a 'jobless recovery.' His trade deficits have created many millions of jobs in China." (167)

"Free trade is the serial killer of American manufacturing and the Trojan Horse of World Government. It is the primrose path to the loss of economic independence and national sovereignty. Free trade is a bright shining lie." (171)

Globalization "is the economic treason that dare not speak it name." (173)

"The Republican Party has signed off on economic treason." (8)

On Bush-Republican Fiscal Policy:

"Bush has compiled a fiscal record of startling recklessness." (175)

"There is no conservative party in Washington. There is a Democratic Party of tax-and-spend and a Republican Party of guns and butter and tax cuts, too. Washington is all accelerator, the brakes are gone." (177)

[...]

On the Conservative Case for Bush:

"George W. Bush is a God-fearing and good man....He kept his commitment to cut taxes....He has revived an economy sinking into recession when he took office. He has chosen fine judges. His willingness to accept international abuse by rejecting the Kyoto Protocol and the International Criminal Court show him to be a patriot who will not yield national sovereignty." (251)

"If George Bush is reelected and the Senate that confirms new justices remains Republican, there is the chance...the curtain may be brought down on the court's fifty-year run as battering ram of social revolution." (252)

"There is simply nothing that [Kerry-led Democrat] party offers to the Right." (252)

Good ol' "Pitchfork Pat" is the politician/journalist that everyone loves to hate. He attacks the Repubs, he attacks the Dems, whatever. He just doesn't give a shit.

Though highly-principled, and incredibly brave for sticking to his guns despite the endless personal attacks he has received for doing so, Mr. Buchanan is a bit of a crank. But he certainly knows how to sell books.

It should be interesting watching him promote his book on all the cable news talk shows, just before the November election...

He's a "True Conservative" -- which, as I've mentioned many times before -- is a political philosophy that is inherently appalled by the actions of the Bush Administration.

I never thought I'd be nostalgic for a True Conservative, but the radical motherfuckers in the Bush League make me teary-eyed thinkin' about the likes of Pat.

At least the guy had some concept of honesty and intellectual integrity.
