From Magic City Morning Star Guest Column Fred Thompson: Liberal in Disguise By Basil Harrington Apr 20, 2007 - 8:29:44 AM
It seems that conservatives are about to make the same mistake that they made in 2000. Every Cassandra warned the movement conservatives that GW Bush was a liberal, but they were all duped by his "compassionate conservatism," which we since have learned really means "liberal globalism."
Now, despite all the warnings, they are about to be conned by Fred Thompson too - another neocon (aka liberal globalist). Will they get what they deserve? Can people really be so shortsighted? In 2011 will we hear GOP cheerleaders, "If only I had known...
Let's look at Fred Thompson on the issues.
First and foremost, let's ponder immigration, the greatest threat facing the West today. As Jean Raspail foretold in Camp of the Saints, the "best conservative novel ever written," a third-world invasion of the West is taking place, and we must make a stand - before it is too late.
Although tough talking on border control, Fred Thompson has a rather weak record from his time in the Senate. Americans for Better Immigration only gave him a career grade of C. And on chain migration, visa lotteries, reducing unnecessary visas, asylum fraud, and reducing amnesties, he received rather low marks. 1
Thompson is almost certainly pro-abortion, regardless what he feigns. He has said, "The ultimate decision must be made by the woman." In other words, he believes it's a "choice."
Thompson is pro-affirmative action, and his two votes in the Senate guaranteed that under-qualified minorities would be given preference over Euro-Americans (i.e. white people). Thompson obviously believes that victimology should trump hard work.
And like all neocons, Thompson supports free trade, which is destroying our economy and undermining our sovereignty. Historically, conservatives opposed free trade, and they should; it's national suicide. But Thompson like many GOP cheerleaders has been "neoconned" on this issue.
In foreign policy, Fred Thompson is an adamant neocon globalist. He is a fellow at the neocon American Enterprise Institute, and a member of the neocon / neoliberal Council on Foreign Relations, which supports the creation of a North American Union and the eradication of American sovereignty. 2
In short, Fred Thompson is no real conservative. He's a neocon globalist. Only look at his past actions, memberships and words.
We already have three real conservatives in the running (Tom Tancredo, Ron Paul, and Duncan Hunter) and let's give them the support they deserve. If Fred Thompson receives the nomination, I'm voting Constitution Party. 3

ping—this came to me from someone in NH. What do you make of it?
“I hope I don’t get in trouble for posting this—but it just came to me by email. Does anyone have any knowledge about what is said here, the writer, or the publication?”

It looks like Basil, sending Basil something written by Basil, then posting it as if it came to him by Email. What did I miss, Basil?
You won’t get in trouble with me.
Here’s what I think about Basil Harrington and his ilk- the far right and the far left are very close to meeting each other at the back of the circle.
Basil Harrington supports Ron Paul. That tells me all I need to know.
Until the immigration issue came back to the forefront, I had been looking for a Republican candidate who could “win”. But, from what I read on some threads Friday night and today, none of the top three (McCain, Giuliani or Romney) can be trusted on immigration, and neither can Gingrich or Thompson. This is based on their history with regard to immigration issues and measures. To me, equally important, I don’t trust any of them on globalism, free trade and our relationship with China.
So, I am now considering Duncan Hunter. I believe (tho I will check) that he has been consistent on all these issues, plus he is “good” on the terrorism issue. Problem is, he polls (I believe) at about 1%. How can we convince people, as you say, that policy is what matters-—because policy is, IMO, where Duncan Hunter shines.
