The Right Choice? - - The [paleo]conservative case for Barack Obama
The American Conservative ^ | March 24, 2008 | Andrew J. Bacevich

Posted on 03/26/2008 2:51:50 PM PDT by TSchmereL

So why consider Obama? For one reason only: because this liberal Democrat has promised to end the U.S. combat role in Iraq. . . . [Because we want history to render a negative verdict on Iraq to discredit the doctrine of preventive war.]

In my humble opinion, "Conservatives" who advocate American military defeat are contemptible.

So Conservatives should help elect the most Liberal Senator ever, help elect a Marxist? This writer must be starving for attention.

It appears the more ‘principled’ the conservative, the more that conservatives is committed to destroying the GOP.

These people are not conservative in the least.

we are winning the war against Islamic Jihad...and they, along with the DNC, want to grasp defeat right from the jaws of victory.

...and in the process, bring in the most marxist, rascist, liberal, inhumane, and anti-American administrtion in US history. With Barack Hussein Obama at its head.

Kiss 30 years progress on the Supreme Court goodbye, be willing to have a president who nnot only openly supports partial birth abortion, but who refused to vote against live birth abortions because it would sned the wrong message. What a sick freak.

Higher taxes, more entitlements, destruction of our health care system, absolute open borders and loss of soveriegnty, defeat in the war, etc., etc.

But of course...they must know all of this...which is why they are not conservative in the least.

The smallest effort would reveal Obama's core beliefs.

Well, it’s a bit beside the point, but the GOP began killing itself some time ago. Both major parties have been losing numbers lately. Even the smallest third parties are picking up members at such a rate now it’s only a matter of time before the GOP & the Dems join the Whigs & Federalists in the list of parties that self-destructed.

Why would you be appalled?

"Andrew J. Bacevich is professor of history and international relations at Boston University."

Those that can, do. Those that can't, teach.

As a professor of international relations, this guy is quite ignorant about world affairs and even recent history.

“Even the smallest third parties are picking up members at such a rate now it’s only a matter of time before the GOP & the Dems join the Whigs & Federalists in the list of parties that self-destructed.”

And, you expect that a bevy of small parties replacing the two large parties will be an improvement?

For a while at least, until they become the status quo for a few generations.
