Conservatism Means War, Zionism, & Torture

Human Events has named Dick Cheney as their Conservative of the Year. They found John Bolton to write the article, the only person more insane than receiver of the award.

How is it, therefore, that someone who has no political ambitions can cause so much angst at the White House and in the mainstream news media? The irrefutable answer is that what Cheney is saying, primarily on foreign policy, defense and anti-terrorism, makes sense to more and more American citizens growing increasingly worried by the Obama Administration’s insouciance when U.S. national interests are threatened, both at home and abroad. Since the only real, long-term way to deal with persuasive positions on substantive policy matters is to refute them with sounder policy arguments, it is not hard to understand why the Obama White House is near panic. Where are they going to go to find a better policy inside his administration?

Bolton’s last two articles for Human Events? “Time for an Israeli Strike?” and “Reinventing Conservatism,” an article with a title that indicates he will be dealing with many topics but in which he calls for a belligerent foreign policy without mentioning any other issue. He gives away what conservatism has devolved into.

The con game works like this. Human Events publishes Pat Buchanan and Ann Coulter for social conservatives and those of us who hate political correctness. They publish Thomas Sowell for the small government and libertarian crowd. And they publish foaming at the mouth neo-cons like Bolton. The right wing establishment sometimes even excites us by supporting Charles Murray. But when Bush and the Republicans had power, the neo-cons were the only ones who got what they wanted. I give them credit for Alito and Roberts, but that’s it.

And the right wing masses are no better. Go to Free Republic and contrast how the commentators treat Joe Lieberman and Pat Buchanan. The first is pro-abortion, pro-affirmative action, pro-gay marriage, has a 100% rating from the AFL-CIO union thugs, and gets an F from the NRA. But he supports a pro-Israel foreign policy. Buchanan is an anti-war conservative with protectionist sympathies who is the most un-PC person that appears on TV.

In this random post about Lieberman, most of the commentators can’t stop going on about what a great guy he is. Some respectfully pointed out that he’s not actually a conservative, but nobody except one poster who claims Lieberman will weaken the GOP goes beyond that.

Now look at the first ten comments on this thread of an article by Buchanan.

Poster #1

Pat’s stuck in the 1950s.

#3

Pat Buchanan can go…. well, I can’t SAY what he can go do or I’ll get Banned from FR!

#5

When will he just go away…

#6

When will Pat just go away?

We can use Occam’s Razor to understand what’s going on here; everyone with any brains has either been

A) brainwashed by liberalism.

B) become a biorealist or at least a libertarian

The only ones left to post on Free Republic are those too stupid to either be brainwashed or think for themselves.

I’ll also repeat my idea that masses of white people have channeled the anger they have about what non-whites have done to this country towards innocent Iraqis and Palestinians as well as anybody that their government may get their hands on and torture. Still, it’s doubtful that they would be clamoring to defend South Korea against the North if they weren’t led in that direction. The fact that they are so easily pulled wherever the Neo-cons want to go is explained by their low IQs. The leaders are little more than Israeli nationalists and careerists.
