Do you think the founding thinker of modern conservativism, Russell Kirk is an appeaser?

America should defend its own. Our soldiers are not third-world policemen.

You've been conned into a war that has indebted us to communist China.

China is not shy about making threats with their new power over us. They're dictating monetary policy under threat of dumping dollars.

If you’re worried about China, then go for the one person who’s been calling China out before it was cool to do so: Duncan Hunter.

The one genuine Dragon Hunter.

Russell Kirk was wrong in 1990 and the analogy didn’t work. Moreover, Kirk played loose and fast with facts or was suffering from dementia at the end. He seemed not to realise simple things like what was the capitol of Israel.

But this is the 'new' conservatism John. P#ss on logic, matter of fact toss it out the window. We've got people to eradicate!! Never mind if it is more reasonable to actually open talks with them or trade with them (as we did with North Korea) to get them to lay down weapons.

No today's 'conservative' picks a boogey man, ties it somehow in any way to 9/11 and the 'true believers' are ready to bomb the crap out of them.

And of course we should forget decades of interventionist policies and the fallout from such policies. Nope, just keep running in where angels fear to tread....oh and put ourselves in hock to the Chinese to pay for it...while complaining about 'evil' Chinese and their trade policies...
