From one of the really good political writers in America these days. No left wing wacko, Kevin Phillips was a stalwart movement conservative from the 60s and 70s (and key architect in Nixon’s rise to power). He drifted out of the GOP in the 80s with the ascendency of the Bush family syndicate, whom he very accurately saw as a threat to traditional GOP principles, and to American democracy itself. His cautionary concerns have been more than borne out. Highly recommend are his works such as “An American Dynasty” about the Bush family, and “Wealth and Democracy”.

Here, Kevin Phillips posts on Talking Points Memo about his latest book “American Theocracy”.
