No, spoken like a true conservative...a real, “old right” conservative.
You mean an isolationist?
The ones that favor bigger government and higher taxes?
You mean “old right” as in the John Birch Society? Pat Buchanan? Yeah, I get what you’re about.
If you don't agree with David Brooks, or Bill Kristol, more power to you.
But in the real world of politics, this "true, real, old right conservatives" are sort of like unicorns.
When Ronald Reagan needed to get things done, he didn't turn away those first generation neocons.
It was a mistake to give the second generation so much power, but any party or leader who is at all serious, recognizes that you can't just rely on purist hardliners.
