The terms "neocon" and "paleocon" are terms used by the left in an attempt to divide and conquer conservatives. The terms are used to appeal to any conservative who sees some other conservative as being not-conservative on an issue. It implies a present day erosion of conservatism when in reality there has always been differences amongst conservatives on issues. In reality there is only conservatism and non-conservatism.

Steve Sailor summed up the Neocon philosophy quite nicely: "Invite the world, invade the world." "Paleocons" are America first, traditional conservatives that agree with Washington's farewell address: "Avoid foreign entanglements." There is simply nothing conservative about exporting democracy and open borders. It's a fools game promoted by elites to further the aims of "The new world order".

Protecting the sovereignty of one's borders is conservative.

Removing dangerous dictators in this day and age of WMD is conservative.

The terms "Paeleocon" and "Neocon" are WP-type BS.

BTW, without the help of the "entangled" French army, George Washington and this conservative country may never have won the Revolution.

"Protecting the sovereignty of one's borders is conservative."

It certainly is. Please tell us what the Neocons are doing to protect our borders? They want open borders.

"Removing dangerous dictators in this day and age of WMD is conservative."

You mean like Kim Jung Il?, or the Iranian nutjob? What about the Chinese and the Russians? They aren't/weren't dangerous? Where does it end?

You're right, the so called "Paleocons" are conservatives. The "Neocons" are facists.

"BTW, without the help of the "entangled" French army, George Washington and this conservative country may never have won the Revolution."

You forgot the Hessian mercenaries. But you are forgetting that the French helped us not out of "entanglements", but out of hatred of the British. If not for the entanglements of the UN resolutions, Bush would have had no excuse to invade Iraq.

France offering aid to our revolution is not the same as the U.S. invasion and occupation of a sovereign country with no congressional declaration of war.

You have a strange definition of conservative. To me, conservative is having respect for law. Removing "dangerous dictators" with WMD is arguably wise, but it is not "conservative".

It is a radically progressive, leftist idealism.

I know this was posted yesterday,wasn't around to reply,the rest of the French helping George Washington story goes like this,Louis XVI bankrupted his country in large part due to his involvement in the American Revolution and then lost his head! I have no problem with removing dangerous dictators,however I'm hoping we don't have to try rebuilding every country they were in charge of into our version of America because I'm betting we'll join Louis XVI trying !!!
