Here is Paul Craig Roberts' blog:

http://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2012/04/25/trials-without-crimes-or-evidence/

Many Democrats do not agree with Reaganomics, yet he still defends them:

From another website on the 'Father of Reaganomics':

Paul Craig Roberts father of Reagonomics : How we lost our economy


Paul Craig Roberts is a great researcher and whistlerblower , but Jeez anytime I hear that 'father of Reaganomics' it send chills up my spine and I say to myself : Why would I trust any one who was a creator of Reaganomics. It was Reagan who the first one to raid Social Security. It was Dick Cheney who said, Reagan proved that debt didn't matter. Well Debt does matter, and if this guy Paul Craig Roberts was creator of Reaganomics then he's part of the problem not the solution. well i hope I am just too paranoid and flat wrong

So even if I was to find Roberts interesting, despite the company he keeps and what they are advocating, I have my doubts about his slant on things. We can't live in an information bubble and I find DU to be the best source of information and news on the net, as well as a lot of fun at times. I have been a Democrat for all my voting life and hard left, and my representatives are hard left, but outvoted.

I can also see the trends as to where this world is going, and I don't like it. I think we can only guide the future to something more humane and free by taking action, but not with guns as the right wants to rid the country of all liberals, Democrats, gays, women's rights and Obama.

And as I said, I don't speak for misathrope. I hope that anyone who is a fan of Mr. Roberts will understand I am not telling them to have a closed mind. And I do not, in any way, support the videos I have put here to illustrate why some people do not like or trust Mr. Roberts. If anyone believes I should remove them from this post, please post here or send me a PM and I will remove the videos or links from here.
