The faux "conservatives" hereabouts need a place -- someplace; any warm, nurturing place, really -- where their rigid, fetishistic beliefs that (for example) Ronald Wilson Reagan's free trade philosophy was a "neocon" one don't instantly mark them as being hopelessly muddled and out of place in the midst of any serious, adult discussion of baseline conservative practices and principles.

I suggest this calm, welcoming harbor, where the natives fantasize dreamily about "the Rex 84 internment camps" that Dubya and KKKarl Rove has secretly been establishing, "ready to take on 20 million anti-CAFTA dissidents" at a moment's notice.

They'd be infinitely happier there, I think; energetically banging rocks together, grooming one another's hides, and sharing beery, wistful campfire prophecies of a Kucinich administration yet to come.

I have an interesting conundrum for you:

Reagan (mostly a free-trader) imposes tariffs on foreign motorcycles. He's a hero.
Bush (mostly a free-trader) imposes tariffs on foreign steel. He's a goat.
