Indeed, we need real conservatives to shrink government and cut taxes.

Your rebuttal in posting #172 was fair and I believe accurate. I am an observer on this post. I cannot really offer anything that will not already have been said, other then I continue to have concerns (deep seating, based on years back readings on lets say CFR, Bretton Woods, round table, etc..), how all these recent administrations seem to privately and publically align with the "new world order/one world government" scheme. But I realize we live in a brave new world.

Can't wait to take out the demon Saudi Arabia, eh? Better be careful lest someone labels you a neocon.

We can't take out the Saudis; we need the Saudi madrasses to establish an elective class in "How to be a stevedore" to work here in their leased terminals.

Sorry, faulty analysis is worthless, as we see here. Trotskyites, like all leftists, ultimately wish to impose totalitarianistic idealism, because "they know better and can do it better". It is not possible to "impose" the self rule of democracy and human rights. Liberation is a more apt word. More wasted ink and electrons.

Too many readers forget or are ignorant of the bad and the ugly who came before the Russian revolution and after the decline of the Soviet Empire. Even those before the Soviet years used censorship and brutal tactics to keep their opposition down.

In tsarist Russia, the great Fyodor Dostoevsky twice did time in prison - serious time - for speech crimes. The first time he was in with one of the many progressive groups. The second time was after he had evolved into a "conservative."

At least SOMEONE gets it! Stockpile that ammo now and start "oiling your garden." Once Hitlery gets into the office, it's gonna be like peeing uphill.

They are going to be fine, Miers was going to be fine.

You have an awful lot of confidence in that -- probably without any basis for it.

1) Supply-side, free trade, lower taxes, privatization. Adam Smith on a global scale. 2) call evil by its name, drain the swamps, bully foreign powers and alliances, even the UN, into doing their jobs.

Can you name a single policy of this administration that fits a "supply-side" view of economics? How do the softwood lumber and steel tariffs imposed by this administration qualify as "free trade?"

"Call evil by its name?" LOL. It's hard to take anyone seriously when their approach to "calling evil by its name" is so wrapped up in political correctness.

Here are my problems with neoconservatism:
* Assumes global and universal appeal of commercially oriented, laissez faire systems. T'would be great if it were true, but it's not.
* Makes an overt, ongoing effort to discredit Clausewitzian strategy and truths.
* Lacks the stones to draw down dependency fomenting social "welfare" programs - witness the lack of spine on Social Security
* Fails to call out bad behavior perpetrated by anti Western great powers with bold and precise language, meanwhile obsesses about lack of democracy in 2nd and 3rd tier nation states
* Completely ignores the lessons of WW2 - the precursors, the things that worked well, the things that did not, and the utterly poor way the US and UK dealt with Europe in 1945 leaving loose ends and an Iron Curtin
* Is utterly naive about the rising, procrustean, genocidal forces who want to exterminate Jews, British and Americans.

The CIA got duped into not opposing Ba'ath. By 1970, they fully realized their error.

"Sending other's sonds off"? You sound like a hippy. But at least you're not a neocon.

Very late coming to this, but the carcasses are still smoking from a double ZOT!

Both "jb6" and "Pragmatist" both felt the personal wrath.
