Honestly I just don’t respect your kind (Progressives) enough to waste a lot of time on answering you.

Lol, as you continue to avoid a simple question and resort to childish name calling.

Scratch below the surface and one often finds that posters who specialize in almost cryptic one-liners and short blurbs actually have very little depth to their ideas.

But I'll repeat the question that stumped you for any genuine conservatives who care to answer it.

Are conservatives globalists, free traders, free marketers and open borders advocates?

"Are conservatives globalists, free traders, free marketers and open borders advocates? "

The Modern Conservative Movement most definitely is all of the above. Along with international interventions it's embodied in the Republican Party.

And has been for at least 40 years. And that includes Ronald Reagan, though he wasn't a true open borders advocate, bill signing notwithstanding.

The real question on the table is: What is Conservatism?

I suggest Nationalism is missing and that many of the issues above are not America First.

And, it's time to redefine Conservatism as it's currently intellectualized, debated and practiced.

That can only be done by winning a series of elections with America First as the principal underpinning, thereby reforming all the institutions surrounding the body politic.

Could that be the rebirth of the Paleo Conservative?
