Not sure if I can post the whole thing, but I'll sum it up: The New York Times has found a Republican writer to like--one who slams the Administration as a "theocracy" and the WOT as a "war for oil". Interesting how they mention the looting of the Iraq art museum, although I could have sworn that story was overplayed and much of it retracted.

The only real danger to our Republic currently is the in the closet fascists like Kevin Phillips who would gleefully deny the civil rights of anyone who does not agree with his far far Left wing viewpoints. Kevin Phillips is just another example of the rabid intolerance the American Left has for anyone who does not march in lock step with their emotion based political opinions.

[Always Right]

Typical ant-Christian fear-mongering from a Rino/leftist. As if our country had not been based firmly on Christian values since our inception.

The American press in the first days of the Iraq war reported extensively on the Pentagon's failure to post American troops in front of the National Museum in Baghdad, which, as a result, was looted of many of its great archaeological treasures. Less widely reported, but to Phillips far more meaningful, was the immediate posting of troops around the Iraqi Oil Ministry, which held the maps and charts that were the key to effective oil production.

If I had a choice between protecting one of the other, there is absolutely no contest. Send troops to guard Iraq's most valuable resource - oil.

"It is not without polemic"

No kidding -- just start with the hysterical title.

[Grampa Dave]

Phillips needs to come out of his Log Cabin Republican facade and admit that he has been a pseudo Republican for the MSM for over 20 years.

Clearly red meat for the typical New York Times subscriber. Any respectable writer would shun Paul Krugman and Kevin Phillips.

[Unam Sanctam]

Another hatemongering anti-Christian in the John Danforth mold.

PBS used to have this guy on during the 2004 Presidential Race to try to persuade its viewers into believing that Bush arranged things at the DC airport for the 9/11 terrorists to board the airplane unchecked.

Kevin Phillips told Tim Russert last night in an interview that he is not registered as a Republican. If he were, it would be of the RINO variety. But he is a joke, and the GOP is better without him.

[Valin]

No longer does he see Republican government as a source of stability and order. Instead, he presents a nightmarish vision of ideological extremism, catastrophic fiscal irresponsibility, rampant greed and dangerous shortsightedness.

And do we get any thanks for this.....NOOOO.
When Jerry Falwell becomes king of America....Phillips will get his.

[bkepley]

Nuts.

The Right Nation: Conservative Power in America
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0008EH6LE/qid=1143384350/sr=2-1/ref=pd_bbs_b_2_1/104-0982097-1969522?s=books&v=glance&n=283155

From Publishers Weekly
In the introduction to this engaging study of American conservatism, Micklethwait and Wooldridge of the Economist disclaim any allegiance to America's "two great political tribes." It is this Tocquevillian quality of informed impartiality that makes their book so effective at conveying how profoundly the right has reshaped the American political landscape over the past half century. The authors trace the history of the conservative movement from the McCarthy era, when "conservatism was a fringe idea," to the second Bush administration and the "victory of the right." They dissect the new "conservative establishment," which combines the intellectual force of think tanks, business interest groups and sympathetic media outlets with the "brawn" of "footsoldiers" from the populist social conservative wing of the GOP, and argue that continuing Republican hegemony is likely. Democratic optimists who point to favorable demographic trends are exaggerating the liberalism of Latino and professional voters, say the authors, while other factors, such as suburbanization and terrorism, will tend to promote Republican values. Still, the right should be worried about its own "capacity for extremism and intolerance" and about holding together its unlikely alliance of religious moralists and small-government activists. Even so, say the authors, conservative ideas are now so pervasive in American society that even a Kerry administration could do little to divert the country's long-term rightward drift. This epochal political transformation is rarely analyzed with the degree of dispassionate clarity that Micklethwait and Wooldridge bring to their penetrating analysis.

Want another Reagan Revolution? Here¹s how. It¹s time to finish Painting the Map Red.

[Galveston Grl]

They found a Republican who is not only a anti-Christian hero to the Left but who was also a part of the most unsuccessful Republican administration in history... He was probably cheering for Nixon to resign and was, no doubt, loved by the Left at that time as well. I would guess he was also against the Viet Nam war "baby killers."

When you hear a RINO screeching about a "theocracy" they are angry over abortion and/or homosexual marriage and speical rights or they are of a different religion and can not tolerate hearing the J-word or the C-word.

But, dontchaknow, we theocrats have to stop chopping off the heads of the good liberals sooner or later and it is not a good idea to keep putting them in prisions for having sex and producing children out of wedlock. :)

[ozzymandus]

Kevin phillips doesn't even qualify as a RINO. He's just a turncoat.

[ex-snook]

The New York Times has found a Republican writer to like-"

Misinformation from the Times, Phillips does not claim to be Republican any longer.

To save America, vote for gridlock.
