Isn't that incredible? Can you believe that there are still people who defend a monster as vile as Leon Trotsky, but still insist on calling themselves conservatives?

Most people who point out that ugly aspect of neo-conservatism, get shouted down as "nativists", "McCarthyites", "reactionaries", "extremists", "anti-semites", etc.

I like your screenname. Are you a monarchist, by any chance? (I am, and unsurprisingly agree with you about Trotsky.)

How the hell is than an "aspect of neo-conservatism"?

It's an aspect of this guy Stephen Schwarz, whoever that is. You seem to extrapolate quite a bit.
