Americans Have Lost Their Country, by Paul Craig Roberts, 1 Mar 2007
"The Bush-Cheney regime is America's first neoconservative regime. In a few short years, the regime has destroyed the Bill of Rights, the separation of powers, the Geneva Conventions, and the remains of America's moral reputation along with the infrastructures of two Muslim countries and countless thousands of Islamic civilians." |
Americans Should Be "Anti-American", by Sheldon Richman, 21 Jun 2006
Related Topic: Imperialism
"That leaves only one real object of foreign hostility, U.S. foreign policy. And let's face it, what's not to dislike? Since the end of World War II, a succession of American presidents and their diplomatic and military minions have treated much of the world like slow, pitiable stepchildren badly in need of their guidance." |
Gravity works, by Victor Milán, Rational Review, 3 Feb 2005
"Democracy is a fraud in the US -- a control mechanism, a puppet-show to make the cattle think they have some role in governing themselves. ... How can the US export freedom to Iraq or anyplace? We don't have any. The Constitution is a dead letter. ..." |

How Much More Harm Can Bush Do?, by Paul Craig Roberts, 7 Mar 2006
Related Topic: Iraq War (2003)
"... a poll of 28,000 people in 27 countries for the BBC World Service (March 6) found that Israel, Iran, and the U.S. in that order are regarded as the most negative influences ... Japan, Canada, the EU, France, China, and India are all regarded as more positive influences on the world than the United States. The Bush-Cheney regime has achieved this deplorable result in a mere six years." |
Our Elective Monarchy, by Sheldon Richman, 16 Jun 2004
Related Topics: United States Presidents, United Kingdom
"Great Britain's government is a parliamentary system under a monarchy. Thus the head of state and the head of government are different people. ... The Parliament's vigorous questioning of the prime minister is the most public manifestation of this feature of the British government. ... notwithstanding the jabber about 'of the people, by the people, for the people,' the State is in charge. ... What we [Americans] have is an elective monarch who, if we are to believe the current wearer of the crown, rules by divine right." |
The Secret State, by Carl Oglesby, 19 Dec 1991
Speech to Libertarian Party of Massachusetts
"... be very worried about the growth since World War II of a national-security oligarchy, a secret and invisible state within the public state. ... A secret state has set itself up within the darkest corners of the American government. It is what Nixon adviser John Dean called a cancer on the presidency, but it has metastasized well beyond the White House." |
What's Become of Americans?, by Paul Craig Roberts, 22 Mar 2006
"... isn't that what we are hearing, that Americans have gone away? ... When the weapons of mass destruction thing turned out not to be true, I expected the American people to rise up. They didn't. ... when the Abu Ghraib torture thing surfaced ... I was sure then the American people would be heard from. We stood mute." |
 Why They Hate Us, by Sheldon Richman, Freedom Daily, Feb 2008

Examines the myth that the United States is hated because Americans "are free and represent democracy"
"American foreign policy has treated foreign populations like garbage, beginning with the brutal repression of the Filipino uprising against American colonial rule from 1899 to 1902. ... Since that time American presidents have intervened, directly or by proxy, in countless places, including Cuba, Haiti, Colombia (Panama), Chile, Mexico, Nicaragua, the Soviet Union, Iran, Iraq, Guatemala, Lebanon, the Dominican Republic, Korea, Vietnam, and Afghanistan." |

Related Topics: Iraq
"Our exit strategy will help to end the senseless loss of American and Iraqi lives. It will ensure that Iraq is rebuilt in an efficient and expedient manner, at the lowest possible cost to the American taxpayers. Above all else, the intent of this proposed strategy is to remove our troops from harm's way and, in the near future, return them to their families ..." |

Related Topics: Imperialism, Switzerland, United Kingdom
"Americans must make a choice — a choice between freedom and peace ... and the continuation of the U.S. military empire ... If people choose to continue the empire ... they must resign themselves to the fact that their lives and freedom will be under perpetual assault by both terrorists and government officials." |

Related Topics: Terrorism, Iraq, Iraq War (2003), Socialism, The State
Discusses how government cannnot win the war on terror because economic law is more powerful than the state
"... if history teaches us anything it is that no country wants to be ruled by a foreign power, whether that foreign occupation takes the form of colonialism or outright military dictatorship. People would rather run a country badly than have it run well from the outside. No one should understand this better than the American people, whose country was born in a revolt against foreign rule." |
