The Chinese put China first. The Russians put Russia first. Israelis believe in Israel first.
So, whats wrong with Americans seeking to put our country before a faceless, vacuous globalism that has eaten away at our manufacturing base, taken the lives of our best and brightest overseas, and threatened our standard of living for decades?
According to neoconservatives like Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol, apparently a lot.
Kristol let out a tweetstorm before and during Donald Trumps America First themed inauguration speech Friday, highlighted by this gem:
"I'll be unembarrassedly old-fashioned here: It is profoundly depressing and vulgar to hear an American president proclaim "America First.""
Depressing and vulgar Wow! In a prime example a true globalists gloves coming off, Kristol and his neoconservative ilk cant help but expose themselves for the anti-American hucksters they are.
In a classic example of the strawman fallacy, they like to link the movement to put our people first, just as every other nation does, to the often pro-Nazi America First movement that existed prior to World War II. But Trump is having none of it.

Trump is doing that to a lot of ‘em.
If BIG IF all this globalism was working for ordinary people, Kristol might have a point. But, Kristol is either unaware or doesn’t care that this hasn’t been working for ordinary people for about two decades. Not during the George W. Bush administration nor during the Obama administration.
You know what Bill Kiisol, when you take the food off your family table day after day and give it to the homeless while your own family starves, then I’ll listen to what you have to say. Until then I’m not interested in a thing you think or say.
Retire please, Elitist. You’re era is over.
George Will seems to have suddenly got old. His vision has narrowed and the “floaters” get in the way.
We put America first to defeat the real fascist regimes in WW2.
I think Nevertrumpery has quite dissolved on FR.
If our government is not to put us first, what downgraded level of importance do cretins like Kristof suggest? Same with the leftists who are claiming it is fascist like. Just where in the pecking order are we the people in their warped world of government?
1.) and 3.) are on parallel tracks but are or will be sniping then firing BARs at each other across the narrow divide.
Marxism, socialism, communism, progressivism are the various globalist programs designed to control the people. After tens of millions are killed by government, they have to change the name, brand and marketing of their programs.
Earlier in history, we had the feudal system and the the divine right of kings running the serfs and peasants.
There really isn’t a large popular constituency for globalists because so few people benefit. Their constituency is essentially similar to the king, nobles (Knights) high clergy and court. The globalists have the kings (Soros, Rockefellars, Rothschild etc), nobles (politicians, globalist military), clergy (teachers, education), and court (bureaucrats). So that would be about 15- 20% of the population?
The nationalists are those that are awake; they are those that have been deprogrammed or never programmed to the leftist ideology. The Bernie people are still under the spell of leftist indoctrination from the globalists.
This is the same Kristol who went to a French TV entertainment show telling how the French were Saddam Hussein surrender monkeys and the UN was ineffective...
What a tool.
Of course the NWO is depressed. Trumps inauguration speech was basically telling them that the American people are back in control of their country and that globalists will no longer be tolerated around these parts!
With these histrionics, I lost all respect for Bill Kristol.
Most of the handed over powers, other than in Foreign Policy, should have gone the other direction- back to the States. Wishing it all for the Executive is kind of the opposite of Conservative and Constitutional and all that.
I don’t care what Kristol thinks or says.
I’d rather watch paint dry.

Succinct and artfully done.
Who does Bill Kristol put first?
Is Bill still selfishly hoarding his wealth or has he graciously put Central American illegals first and handed his money over to them?
Does he still have a nice home appropriate for a man of his wealth and position or has he converted it into a home for unwed single mothers from Somalia?
Do Bill and his wife still sleep in their comfortable master bedroom or have they put others first and turned it over to some of Obama’s newly arrived 38 year old muslim “Dreamers”?
Thanks.
