Obama Blows up the Bridge

Share... 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 [Read more] Related posts:Has History Passed Obama By?Obama's Choice: FDR or ReaganLyndon Baines ObamaObama's Problems — and OursHas Obama Lost White America?

Was Obama Stampeded Into War?

Share... By Patrick J. Buchanan "NATO is moving very slowly, allowing Gadhafi forces to advance," said rebel leader Abdul Fattah Younis, as the Libyan army moved back to the outskirts of Ajdabiya, gateway city to Benghazi. "NATO has become our problem." Younis is implying that if NATO does not stop Libyan soldiers from capturing Ajdabiya, [...]

Is Tribalism the Future?

Share... By Patrick J. Buchanan "This is a far, far away country about which we know very little," said Neville Chamberlain in 1938 as he declined to take his country to war over Adolf Hitler's claim to the Sudetenland. Indeed, Chamberlain knew almost nothing of Czechoslovakia, inside whose borders, set at the Paris peace conference [...]

A Community Organizer Goes to War

Share... By Patrick J. Buchanan Now that Benghazi has been spared what we were assured would be a massacre by Moammar Gadhafi's army, why are the U.S. Air Force, Navy, CIA and Special Forces still attacking in Libya? If our objective was to spare the defenseless people of Benghazi from slaughter, why, mission accomplished, did [...]

Obama's War

Share... By Patrick J. Buchanan In ordering air and naval strikes on a country that neither threatened nor attacked the United States, did President Obama commit an impeachable act? So it would seem. For the framers of the Constitution were precise. The power to declare war is entrusted solely to Congress. From King William's War [...]

How Killing Libyans Became a Moral Imperative

A Foolish and Unconstitutional War

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."

The Rising Irrelevance of Obama

By Patrick J. Buchanan "This will not stand!" declared George H.W. Bush. He was speaking of Saddam Hussein's invasion, occupation and annexation of the emirate of Kuwait as his "19th province."

Can Japan Rise Again?

By Patrick J. Buchanan We can thank Providence that the earthquake was not 150 miles closer to Tokyo, else Japan's dead might number in the millions. Prime Minister Naoto Kan calls it the worst crisis since World War II. Yet, horrendous as it is, it does not, thus far, compare with that. For the earthquake [...]
