Unifying The Conservative Movement
Author: admin
Pat Buchanan, my favorite Catholic and a great American political philosopher, whose work will be featured on this site often, ventures to say that the Conservative Movement is finding its voice again in opposition to the centralizing activism of the Obama Administration. Buchanan said in “Pitch Fork Time” (3/10/2009), “By misinterpreting his mandate, Obama has acomplished something John McCain could not- unite the Republican Party and instill in it a new esprit de corps.”
The tremendous deficit begun by the Bush administration, compounded by Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson’s TARP in September, is being dwarfed by President Obama’s current budget. It is not being paid for by tax revenue, but must be covered through foreign borrowing and new Fed printing of money. Buchanan continues:
“[Obama] wants a cap-and-trade systemm to deal with a global-warming of climate-change crisis many scientists believe is a hoax. He is going to provide health care for all, including immigrants… He is going to plunge scores of billions more into education, though education has eaten up the wealth of an empire, as SAT scores sink further and further below the apogee of 1964, before LBJ and the feds barged in…. He is going to ensure every kid gets a college education. He is going to drop half of all wage-earners off the tax roll, whole the top 2 percent, who already pay 40 percent of all income taxes, are forced to cough up more….
By daring Republicans to fight on the issue of a $1.75 trillion deficit, Obama has liberated the GOP from any obligation to him. He has come out of the closet as a radical liberal spoiling for a fight over an agenda of radical change. Sooner than any might have thought, we ahve clarity.”
