There simply is no clearly defined paleo/neo division here or there....
I'm unabashedly paleo culturally and I make no aopologies yet I am just as unabsahedly Neo on power projection and Israel...and I'm a Goy..btw.
I do not understand the acrimony here. There are very few true Buchananite Paleos left here that I see.
This forum is now arguably 50% social moderates who like lower taxes and a strong foreign policy and consider themselves Conservative. They are simply not Conservative in a traditional sense.
The only social issue that most here concur on are Gun Rights and Abortion , but whoa...if you lean too far right on either of those then you are in danger of being a militia member, a redneck cammo clad toothless goofuss or naturally a racist with regards to guns and if you are rabidly anti-abortion like me...then you are assumed to be the kind of person who is paradoxically the reason that crossover soccermoms will never...cross over...in other words a neanderthal.
LOL...I liked it better when it was Libertinians versus Conservatives.

Yeah, but if you watch these two groups I am talking about, they don't focus on the issue or the article that's submitted. No, no..the issues don't matter. That's secondary.
What they do is use the article as a vehicle to continue this neverending primary flameout.
Pay close attention and you will see what I mean.

I absolutely
HATE this new paleo V.neo stuff ! It isn't even credible and makes for further Balkanization of this already Balkanized site. This does
NOT further the " Conservative " cause; which, BTW, has been almost completely lost in the inane ravings and battles.
The " culture war " has been lost here. We now have so many CINOs and THEY are the first to call others unAmerican/UnConservative/etc.! Some of this is also generational and it is easy to see just how successful all of the brainwashing has been. On some threads, one might as well be on DU ... so many posts being soooooooooooo PC.
No, I think that lower taxes is the only thing everyone here now agrees on.
It will only get worse, when the election season is upon us. :-P~~~~~~~~~~~~
