I like this article. The conservative movement is better off without these embarrassments, IMHO, and they should be roundly repudiated.

I get a kick out of The Nazis were Socialists headline--as if that is the worst thing you can call those who gave us the Holocaust (and WWII).

That's not the point. The point is that the media have perpetrated a gigantic fraud over the last 50 years by implying that Nazis are the result when a nation moves to far to the right. The reality is that they were socialists, and therefore leftists.

Okay, I've looked at the Punchthebag.com site and for the life of me I can't see any reference to who's "blog site" this is, the author of the piece, anyone's name, bonifides or anything to ground the context of the writer.

The real problem with the knuckle-draggers (paleos) is that they refuse to come to grasp with the fact that time has past them by. They remind me of the Islamic world in this sense.

They have no power. Their audience and subscribers of their philosophy are miniscule, and even that may be a conservative estimate (pun intended).

In a word, paleos are worthless.

You can quote me on that.

I don't read LewserRockwell.com for the same reason I don't listen to static on my car radio on the way to work. What would be the point?

[Aurelius]

Thanks for the reminder. I'm late with my monthly contribution to LRC.

[FreeTally]

Wow! Another libertarian bashing thread. Who would have imagined that........

[VinnyTex]

genteel anti-Semites who think Mary gave birth to Jesus in Berlin.

I stopped reading right there. The author is a real lightweight.

LewRockwell.com and the Annoying Paleos
Thanks for the post and the ping!

Please let me know if you want ON or OFF my ping list!. . .don't be shy.

[Clemenza]

Much as I don't like the Paleos, I have equal disdain for statist neos who believe we must spread "Democracy around the world" and that "if you don't support Zionist Socialists in Israel you are an antisemite."

Bump for later

"These neoconfederates should get out of the house and discover that the Stars and Bars flag is usually displayed on a rusted post in some biker bar surrounded by goofballs extending their middle fingers at life. They are hardly strutting around like southern aristocratic peacocks quoting John Randolph of Roanoke."

Ah........I see.

"When it comes to solving real world problems, paleos remind me of the southern aristocrats who boasted in Gone with the Wind, "Why, we could lick them in a month!" But Rhett Butler (re: the real conservative movement for this analogy) has to explain the facts of life to these naïve goobers about the cannon and iron that the North possessed."

Er.....ah..... your confusing me.

Are they biker types giving the finger or are they southern aristocrats?

Really, who ever wrote this needs to get out of his or her (as the case may be) upper west side studio apartment for a smell of the country side!

Worth a look

"Real conservatives who are in the trenches fighting in elections and working to pass a Reaganesque agenda in state legislatures and Capitol Hill..."

This is utterly laughable. "Real conservatives" have only been able to wave the conservative banner for the simple reason that they have defined conservatism down. All the fighting "conservatives" do in elections is to vote straight down party lines with the flawed assumption that any Republican is better than a Democrat, no matter how liberal. George W. "Billions more in government spending" Bush is the perfect example.

[Washington_minuteman]

"LRC is the mother ship for people who call themselves paleos -- a fancy word that represents a combination of isolationists, Dixiecrats who long for the Old South where everyone knew their place (wink, wink), neoconfederates still smarting over the civil war which ended 137 years ago, Abe Lincoln-haters, and genteel anti-Semites who think Mary gave birth to Jesus in Berlin."

This is a Gramscian tactic. Demonize and marginalize the opposition through name-calling and clever innuendo.

Would it not be better to winnow the wheat from the chaff in these writings and ideas, and do likewise with the good that comes from Republican and Democrat philosophy, than to blindly march in lockstep to any particular ideology? Wouldn't it be better to live by the Constitution, than by a plethoria of federal codes and regulations which are tandamount to fascism?

That would seem not to be the case in the minds of the Republicrats who worship at the feet of the Party.

[weikel]

Their anti big government and market stuff is good but their history and foreign policy stuff is a bunch of crap.

[lds23]

Um, the Nazis WERE Socialists, as Hayek points out in "Road to Serfdom". Apparently this guy self-appoints himself to the thought police, without of course engaging in a whole lot of thought himself.

[Tribune7]

Tha National Socialists were socialists. Why would anyone think they weren't?
