Losing and Restoring the Republic
By Jacob G. Hornberger
It is impossible to overstate the fundamental differences
between the foreign-policy philosophy of our American
ancestors and the foreign-policy mindset that guides our
country today. The philosophy of our ancestors was nicely
summed up in the Fourth of July address to Congress in
1821 by John Quincy Adams. Continue

Saint Joe and the Impending Global Financial Crisis
By Mike Whitney
The wreckage in the housing market just keeps piling up.
Sales of existing homes in October dipped 23.5% from
last year. Prices on new homes dropped 13% year over
year. Third quarter foreclosures skyrocketed to 635,000,
a 94% increase over last October and an all-time high
on the Misery-Meter. The real estate market is in
free-fall and the real trouble hasn't even begun yet.

Economic Outlook 2008: Darkening Clouds
By Dom Armentano
Presidential election years usually are not recessionary but
next year will be an exception. Several economic factors are
colliding in an almost perfect storm to markedly slow the
general economy and the stock market.Continue

Homeless in Paradise
America, Land of 371 Billionaires and 3.5 Million Homeless
By Stephen Fleishman
In the United States of America, the greatest country in
the world, as many as three and a half million people
experience homelessness in a given year (1% of the entire
US population or 10% of its poor) and of that, 1.37 million
(or 39%) are children under the age of 18. Continue

We the Paranoid
By Eugene Robinson
We Americans like to think of ourselves as strong, rugged
and supremely confident -- a nation of Marlboro
Men and Marlboro Women, minus the cigarettes and
the lung cancer. So why do we increasingly find ourselves
hunkered behind walls, popping pills by the handful
to stave off diseases we might never contract and eyeing
the rest of the world with an us-or-them suspicion that
borders on the pathological? Continue

A Miracle: Honest Intel on Iran Nukes
By Ray McGovern
For those who have doubts about miracles, a double
one occurred today. An honest National Intelligence
Estimate (NIE) on Iran's nuclear program has been
issued, and its "Key Judgments" were made public.

The Shortage Myth
The Lies at the End of the American Dream
By Paul Craig Roberts
Integrity is so lacking in America that the shortage
myth serves the interests of universities, funding
agencies, employers, and immigration attorneys at
the expense of American students who naively pursue
professions in which their prospects are dim. Initially
it was blue-collar factory workers who were
abandoned by US corporations and politicians.
Now it is white-collar employees and Americans
trained in science and technology. Continue

Walter Cronkite and David Krieger: Our Troops Must Leave Iraq:
The invasion of Iraq was illegal from the start. Not only
was Congress lied to in order to secure its support for
the invasion of Iraq, but the war lacked the support of
the United Nations Security Council and thus was an
aggressive war initiated on the false pretenses of
weapons of mass destruction

Krugman: The making of a mess:
How bad is it? Well, I've never seen financial insiders
this spooked - not even during the Asian crisis of
1997-98, when economic dominoes seemed to be
falling all around the world.

The dollar's perfect storm worsens:
Europe's inflation is likely to prompt its central bank
to raise interest rates -- five days before the Fed is
expected to lower them here. That's bad news for the buck.

Henry Thoreau and the Patrons of Virtue
By Charles Sullivan
Far from a government of the people, for the people
and by the people, we now have a government that
is the exclusive domain of the rich and powerful and
has the same level of exclusivity as an expensive
country club or resort. The poor and disenfranchised
are barred from entry and are thus marginalized.

Garry Kasparov and the Far-right Cuckoo's Nest
By Mike Whitney Watching Kasparov traipse around

lame performance in a dismal B-rated burlesque.
It's painful to watch. Continue
