What makes you think this wasn't written by a professional speech-writer/think-tank?

Please don't.
FWIW, I see little relevance of the article you just linked in what appears to be a conversation of the former president's writing abilities.
I read one of Hanson's books. He recalls that he didn't like academia because, unlike his own farm, he couldn't order people with whom he disagreed off his land.
After reading this article, I think Hanson probably is disappointed that there are not more lefties thrown out of helicopters, but I am not more informed as to what his counter-suggestions to "reform at the local and state level" may be.
Pat Buchanan, in my opinion, was a much more convincing National Review columnist.
Obviously they differ on how to get there, but can the US right agree with the US left on "with liberty, and justice, for all"? It's an excellent sounding ideal.
