Patrick Buchanan and Ron Paul tell uncomfortable truths

Media commentator and former presidential candidate Patrick Buchanan recently fired by MSNBC for writing what they believed was a controversial things in his new book, Suicide superpower. The central premise of Buchanan that he believes the United States a nation in decline because of its disintegrating culture. That is hardly a controversial concept for anyone who does not feed exclusively at the trough of political correctness. But the governing inteligencia MSNBC and much of the rest of the public media, this is hate speech.

Buchanan believes that the cultural Marxists economic Marxists instead Plan 1960 as the biggest threat to traditional American values. After four decades of victim mongering and thought policing through the media and academia, a new story instead of the dominant cultural freedom, family, and the story was a personal responsibility in the United States for the first two centuries its existence. Buchanan believes that Christianity is primarily responsible for upholding the traditional values ​​above, and that Christianity as a reduction, that is the culture. Buchanan also believes the Euro-ethnic base of the United States contributed to the success of a nation to achieve this in the period of such a short time due to promoting the ideas of European settlers and the values ​​were exceptional.

These ideas are not controversial. In fact most honest sociologists and historians are forced to admit that they are incontrovertible. However, they are uncomfortable ideas, so no smart folks who want to be popular with the press and political class are supposed to write them.

Presidential candidate Ron Paul believes the U.S. is declining because it has abandoned its core principles. Paul tends to be main economic, and Buchanan has an emphasis on being culturally, but is significant overlap between the two points of emphasis. Like Buchanan, Paul believes the federal government has grown far beyond its constitutional limit, and that expansion created a dependent society that destroyed communities. Paul also believes Federal Reserve has broken system that enables government and its extensions corrupt crony capitalist, and must be put asunder. More importantly, Congressman Paul believes the United States already functionally bankrupt and the status quo is unsustainable. The United States needs a course correction.

As importantly, perhaps Buchanan Paul and the two leading proponents of the non-interventionist foreign policy. Each believes war with Iran would be disastrous. Paul is right and courageous to the effect that functionally bankrupt nation can afford any more wars.

Pat Buchanan and Ron Paul is offering uncomfortable truths that scare and offend many Americans. Their ideas also threaten the main centers of power in America today. The political class, the financiers, the liberal elites, media, and the industrial military system all stand to lose influence if and Paul Buchanan believed. Therefore, the police are thought to work overtime to silence them.

Stephen Colbert passes Buddy Roemer in Americans Elect draft

Let it be recorded that on the 16th at 3:05 ET February mock conservative commentator Stephen Colbert Buddy Roemer, former congressman, governor of Louisiana and bona fide presidential candidate, passed as the sixth most popular "draft candidate" of Americans to choose the non-partisan, above-profit organization that hopes for a presidential candidate, by its online voters selected, on the ballot in all 50 states in the fall. But the rise of Colbert and participation in anemic date in the preparation of a candidate, raise the question of how seriously Americans take to Elect.

With tens of millions of dollars in donations from supporters usually not identified, the organization promises it will ballot access in every state for a cross-partisan ticket to win. But so far, is the "draft candidate" by far the most support Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, a Republican candidate for president, who indicated he has no plan to release the third party route. Paul has a little more than 2,000 supporters, still widely needed behind the 5,000 fans in each of 10 different countries qualify for the Americans Elect competition (although this policy so that the "candidate with a similar level of experience as a former president need only 1,000 supporters in each of 10 different States "). President Obama, who has hardly call his own re-election;, Sen. Bernie Sanders, Independent of Paul is the former Governor of Utah Jon Huntsman, who approved of the race after a fall from GOP former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney followed a socialist from Vermont, New York City Mike Bloomberg, Colbert; Roemer, former governor of New Mexico Gary Johnson, and Colbert's Comedy Central lead-in, Jon Stewart.

Americans elect to continue to draw great interest from the media - most recently a long critical analysis by Harold Meyerson in The American Prospect, about his political orientation and goals. But a 12th February online national day of preparation town hall meeting on his nomination process, which lasted barely half an hour and answered a handful of questions explain attracted fewer than 500 live views. And in a sign that the brass of the Americans should worry about choosing, Jim Cook wrote later in his blog Irregular Times, which has given the next critical test of the AU efforts, that in light of recent developments - or lack thereof - " I think I'll be covering Americans Elect less intense. I'm not so sure that will be the effort effectively. People are not following as much as I thought they would. "
