Personally, I’ve thrown up my hands in despair at the debased state of the GOP. I don’t want to be identified with the party of the child-snatchers. But I respect principled conservatives who are willing to stay and fight to reclaim a once-great party that freed the slaves and helped to win the Cold War. What I can’t respect are head-in-the-sand conservatives who continue to support the GOP by pretending that nothing has changed.
They act, these political ostriches, as if this were still the party of Ronald Reagan and John McCain rather than of Steve Bannon and Stephen Miller — and therefore they cling to the illusion that supporting Republican candidates will advance their avowed views. Wrong. The current GOP still has a few resemblances to the party of old — it still cuts taxes and supports conservative judges. But a vote for the GOP in November is also a vote for egregious obstruction of justice, rampant conflicts of interest, the demonization of minorities, the debasement of political discourse, the alienation of America’s allies, the end of free trade and the appeasement of dictators.
That is why I join Will and other principled conservatives, both current and former Republicans, in rooting for a Democratic takeover of both houses in November. Like postwar Germany and Japan, the Republican Party must first be destroyed before it can be rebuilt.

Conservatism is based on a political philosophy that values liberty, freedom, individual rights, and rule of law. Mr. Boot has a political philosophy that values his exaggerated sense of himself. In other words, he is full of it. Smoking out these faux conservatives is one of the fringe benefits of the victory Donald Trump. A phony warrior who turns out to be a phony conservative. Imagine that. He and Ralph Peters must be great friends.
Max Boot .... what a ‘baby’.
One of the world’s leading authorities on armed conflict?
Hell, I’d take wisdom gleaned from a salty Lance Corporal with a couple of deployments over never served, Moscow born military theorist Max Boot.
As proof of the sort of sound thinking that produced this chairborne clown’s military theories, he advocates a surrender to the leftists as they are going through one of the periodic stages of violent extremism that they seem to require.
Boot is an authority on armed conflict, and now government? We just crawled through eight years of academic “authorities” on government being in charge.
Boot is a clown who can write.
“pretending that nothing has changed”
Something has definitely changed: The frog realized he was almost a goner. Does that help your confusion?
warmonger, neo con, bushie, never trumper now announced he is leaving the gop. Thats rich. This dirtbag never found a place in the world that the US shouldnt invade. He must have lots of arms stocks.
His advice over the years is always WAR!WAR and more war. He is no different than the Dirtbag Kristol, jennifer rubin, geo will. He is more a trump hater than a conservative.
How about an Undocumented Democrat.
If you commit a crime with your kid in tow, the kid gets taken by social services. That is true whether you are jumping the border or robbing a bank. Otherwise do you want the kids imprisoned with the parents? (No, the Dems want both freed like the kid is a "Get out of jail free" card.)
But I respect principled conservatives who are willing to stay and fight to reclaim a once-great party that freed the slaves and helped to win the Cold War.
Nice to know we helped to win the Cold War. I seem to remember Ted Kennedy sending his emissary to the Soviet government to beg for their help to defeat President Reagan. Now that is real Russian collusion.
And I'm surprised that he didn't want the Democrats to share the credit for freeing the slaves. After all, they were responsible for keeping them and forming the KKK to terrorize them after the Civil War.
Yep, child snatcher. He walked around as a fake Republican. You can skip the rest of this article.
{That is why I join Will and other principled conservatives,....}
LOL The RINO set is becoming unhinged.
What a dope... Makes you laugh.
They will desperately try to create the Narrative that #WalkAway and these few never-were-Right folks are equivalent.
“Personally, I’ve thrown up...”
just thinking about Max Boot.
We should boot Boot’s ass back to Russia, let him whine and cry over there.
He is a Russian national, born in Russia, from a Jewish family. "Max Boot" is obviously a fake name.
By the way, this guy is a card carrying member the CFR, one-worlder, new world order, Deep State globalist stooge.
MAGA!
BTW, the CFR and Trilateral Commission have not been known for strong conservative principles, now have they?
This country would be unrecognizable today
He should change his name to the more accurate Max Douche.
“So glad networks won’t be able to claim that this slimeball is a republican any more.”
Didn’t they do that for about two decades with this rectum?
Party of Reagan and McCain?
