Sobran is a good guy and good thinker, but this rant is too typical of too many "conservatives" who let the "good" be the enemy of the "great". Unfortunately, conservatives like George W. Bush and R. W. Reagan have to contend with troublesome things like Congress, controlled by the Dems (at least the House) during Reagan's time and equally divided for W.

And Conservatives like Sobran, I guess, are supportive of liberty and freedom for America but rather indifferent about helping to spread liberty to other countries. That may have been fine during the time of the Founders, but in the modern world, spreading liberty throughout the globe should be a priority for "Conservatives" of all stripes in this country (and not just the so-called "Neo-Cons).

I can't go along with the idea he is a good guy and a good thinker, since he seems entirely too comfortable with Holocaust deniers and can't think clearly enough to realize what a crock they are peddling.

One of the things that has to be understood is that a totally isolationist mindset was understandable in a world where we were isolated from most of the world by two oceans and the only mode of travel across them were slow moving ships.

It is a different world now. We can't ignore the rest of the world, because we are too in reach of the rest of the world.

"...spreading liberty throughout the globe should be a priority for 'Conservatives' of all stripes in this country..."

Spreading liberty through the changing of hearts and minds is one thing. "Converting" the rest of the world at the point of a gun is another. I wish the neocons could tell the difference.

The "job" of conservatives is restoring the Constitution and liberty to Americans. If you want to be the world's policeman or freedom fighter, do it with your own money and your own blood.

Incredible!

Apparently you come from the Woodrow Wilson school of conservatism!
