Reagan Man, this is about Neo Cons vs the Old Right!
Neo Cons are former leftist who moved right during the cold war. They've highjacked the conservative movement. The Old Right which was isolationist(just like the founding fathers) in its foreign policy, free trading and wanted to destroy FDRs New Deal.
Neo Cons say the welfare state is here, get used to it. They're also very interventionists on foreign policy. In other words, they want us to bomb the rest of the world back to the stone age. Israel's enemies are our enemies. etc etc.
My friend, read my remarks. We happen to agree, more or less. But, I don't agree with you, that isolationism is a conservative value and should be promoted as a positive attribute of American foreign policy. In addition, my remarks were aimed at pointing out, that George W. Bush and Alan Keyes, are not neoconservatives. I don't believe either man wants to bomb the rest of the world, back to the stoneage. But America does have current interests in the world that she should continue to support, protect and defend. One of those interests, is the future existence of the state of Israel. As for destroying the legacies of the New Deal and the Great Society, thats an ultimate aim of
all true conservatives, but it won't happen overnight. After 70 years of creeping liberal-socialism, any significant change in the political and governing course of America, will take some time. May be another 70 years. Who knows.
But I still think Lew Rockwell and his crowd, are fringe wackos.
