Claiming himself to have been bashed about from both sides during his career, Paul Craig Roberts, a Republican from the Reagan administration, is fed up with how Bush has placed himself, and his administration, "firmly against the American people." Some key points:
Bewitched by neoconservatives and lustful for power… Having eliminated internal opposition, the Bush administration is now using blackmail obtained through illegal spying on American citizens to silence the media and the opposition party…. The United States is undergoing a coup against the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, civil liberties, and democracy itself. The "liberal press" has been co-opted. … The TV networks mimic Fox News’ faux patriotism. … The Bush administration has achieved a de facto Ministry of Propaganda…. The sooner the Bush administration realizes its goals of attacking Iran, Syria, and the Shia militias in Lebanon, the more likely the administration will collapse in the maelstrom before it achieves a viable police state…. Not even Karl Rove and Fox "News" could spin Bush out of the catastrophe.
You heard me right. This is from a Republican, and one who worked for Reagan – the man who pretty much started the whole neo-con, big business ties… What else do we need, here, people? Read more. Hat tip to power of narrative.
