Yes, Whenever I saw them on C-SPAN I was never really sure if they were conservative or otherwise. If they are conservative then I probably am not. Globalization, open borders, apologists for the Chicoms, if that is Conservatism then I missed a meeting.
To be quite honest, and not to be insulting, I see them and those like them as nothing more than cheerleaders for the evil money cult under the guise of advocating freedom and liberty.
It would seem you had Arnie’s number before they did, good catch and thanks for the links.
I think you and I are pretty much in agreement.
I appreciate Cato when they are advocating limited government, fighting things like the Real ID Act, and giving a forum for questioning the Global Warming hoopla. But when it comes to globalization, trade, and borders, they are clearly in the camp of those that fund them—the transnationals. I also strongly disagree with much of their push for privatization of infrastructure. I don’t want our ports and highways owned by foreign interests subjecting us to international laws and taxes. I have the same criticism of the Club for Growth folks who seem to take a similar stance.
