Complete video at: http://fora.tv/fora/showthread.php?t=926

Former Nixon advisor and longtime Republican Party strategist Kevin Phillips predicts difficult times ahead for the modern Republican coalition.

-----

Kevin Phillips discusses "American Theocracy: The Peril and Politics of Radical Religion, Oil, and Borrowed Money in the 21st Century."

Phillips predicted in 1969 that the growing populations of the South and West would build a stronger Republican Party and a more stable, orderly country. Four decades later, he is scathingly critical of the "erring Republican majority." He addresses the expanding national debt, increasing oil consumption and the breakdown of the wall between religion and state. -- Commonwealth Club
