Well, well, well. So NOW the true colors will be known of folks like McShamey, Levin, Beck, Rush, Graham, and every neocon out there.
I am sick to death of the self righteous prigs who stuffed HW down our throats followed by W then McShamey and finally Mittens.
Suck it up you losers.
Most of the folks weren’t happy with Reagan either
In the 1980s, the neo-conservatives became the dominant player in the conservative movement, taking over established conservative publications like National Review and Human Events and think tanks like the Heritage Foundation. What assisted their dominance was an alliance with Christian conservatives, such as Pat Robertson, James Dobson, Jerry Falwell, etc., and their organizations. In the 2000s, these leaders either died or retired and their organizations went dark or moribund. The conservative talkers were more or less in line with the neo-conservative wave, with Michael Savage being a singular exception. However, the changing media landscape and the aging of the AM radio audience have caused their market to shrink. The Tea Party wave during the Obama years was a mixed bag of neo-conservatives, libertarians, and paleo-conservatives. They succeeded in switching the Congress to the GOP. However, with RINO leadership and the absorption of many freshmen into the Washington Borg, the Tea Partiers were disappointed and increasingly frustrated.
The Trump phenomenon is a repudiation of the neo-conservative and moderate wings of the Republican Party and the conservative movement generally. If you look at those Republicans who are on the Trump train, they are largely former insiders who fell off the A-list (Gingrich, Giuliani, Christie) or paleo-conservatives who have been long waiting for an event to overturn the powers that be (Schlafly, Savage, Buchanan). We are moving into uncharted waters. Like the British cabinet minister told an aide during the period of Napoleon's conquests in Europe, it is time to roll up the old maps, as they won't be needed.
