Mamzelle, a quasi-conservative keeps accusing of treason decent people that may have different views than her own.
This was done with respect to Catholics in this country: they were supposed to be more loyal to the Pope than to their own country. That libel was put to rest during WWII by the bravery of those with Irish and Italian origin.
The same libel is now advanced against the Jews: various Buchanans (strangely, a Catholic himself) accuse Jews in the Bush administration of selling out their own country for Israel. You can find these things on the internet in abundance -- right next to Jews causeing the blague of XIV century by poisoning the wells of Europe, next to Jews needing the blood of a Christian teenager to prepare the matzos, etc.
That's where Mamzelle gets her "education."
If we want to attract minorities into the conservative movement, we need to expell bigots such as these from our midst.
The poster child for Neoconservatism is probably David Frum. I would say that he, more than anyone else I know of, qualifies as a "quasi-conservative."
This is not to say that Paleoconservatives are always innocent themselves. I personally, however, find Pat Buchanan to be far more tolerable than David Frum.

Another historical trend we've seen is the propensity of certain political hucksters to use charges of "racism" where none exists, simply because they can't defend their positions on their own merits. The practice began with Soviet propaganda organs, but has been perfected in this country by such lice as Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. And there are many "conservatives", including quite a number who post on FR, who use very similar tactics in hopes of intimidating those who might disagree with them. Fortunately, they're easy enough to spot.
