Reply #5: Pat is right in more ways than one

[ochazuke]

His analysis of the political and economic situation is often correct and anti conventional-wisdom. For example, he predicted the Russian debt crisis in the late 90s. (He's now saying Japan will default by mid-decade.)

He has said that globalism is a sham, and of course has been against the war in Iraq from the beginning. In that, he is in league with many on the left.

He is also against Bush on immigration law. Whatever policy you favor, you must admit he's right in saying that Bush's proposal is equivalent to amnesty, and also an admission that America cannot stop the tide of illegal immigration.

I often check his columns at www.theamericancause.org. You'll see one in his archives on how Kerry can beat Bush in the electoral college.
