My comment refers to Conservative Orthodoxy as espoused by Ted Cruz (the conservative shamer extraordinaire), McCain, Ryan, NRO RedState etc.

Open borders and the free movement of trade product and labor.

Endless interventions in the world when we have no core interests at stake.

Those two alone make Conservative Orthodoxy stand out as a dirty whore unworthy of further advocacy.

That is a completely invalid definition of conservative orthodoxy.

Conservative orthodoxy is Reagan, Friedman, the Chicago School, G. K. Chesterton...

Cruz is an empty suit with no real principles, and therefore not a conservative. McCain and Ryan are RINO scoundrels, and therefore conservative in no way. NRO has diverged wildly from the conservative vision of William F. Buckley.

To call that hodgepodge “conservative orthodoxy” impinges upon reality at no point.
