Two weeks ago I mentioned Kevin Phillip’s book,
American Theocracy: The Peril and Politics of Radical Religion, Oil, and Borrowed Money in the 21stCentury ![](http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=getthefli-20&l=ur2&o=1)
, in my post
Watching the Watcher. Mr. Phillips had an editorial in
The Washington Post on Sunday that explains his positions in more detail. As a matter of fact, from my perspective, it was a pretty good summation of the book. In other words, if you find the editorial interesting you’ll like the book.
Speaking of books, Mr. Phillips has a new one out --
Bad Money: Reckless Finance, Failed Politics, and the Global Crisis of American Capitalism
. I suspect I’ll wind up reading that one too.
Mr. Phillips was a strategist for Richard Nixon. He came up with “the Southern strategy” -- the political strategy that won the South for Nixon and transformed many a “yellow-dog Democrat” into a Republican. Mr. Phillips has since turned on the Republican Party with all the zeal of a reformed sinner.
Mr. Phillips has the gift of seeing into future further than most. Take a look at the editorial and see what you think.
The Old Titans All Collapsed. Is the U.S. Next?I hope he isn’t as right about the future as he has been in the past.
