The notion that Bill Kristol represents anything remotely connected to American Conservatism, is also fatally flawed. (The Neocon Phenomenon.)
The assimilation of 19th Century immigrants was materially aided by the fact that most shared traits with the original settlers, which made them more inclined to assimilation than those we drew after America began to abandon its own values--in other words, to abandon the values that had actually drawn the assimilatable immigrants, who shared the desired personality traits.
You and I may both know that Bill Kristol has more in common with the multicultural Left than with any aspect of conservative thought, but the mass media present him and others like him as some kind of spokesmen for “conservatism.” As far as much of the public is concerned, Bill Kristol and Jeb Bush are the conservative alternatives to Rachel Maddow and Hillary Clinton, when in fact they are one and the same.
