Really. She’s the 2019 John Ziegler. It’s clear now that people like Broken Kristol, Goldburger, Bootless, John (”the Pud”) Podhoretz, and many others never ever were real conservatives.
My theory is the reason they are freaking out is they had a great scam for years: they could parrot conservative lines with no fear of them ever being turned into policy. They kept their place at the table as the “loyal opposition,” invited to all the parties so people could pretend to have “the other point of view” when in fact they were all on the same side. Thus they got to sell “conservative” books to dupes like us. Think of David Brooks and how easily he turned.
It isn’t a theory. It has been obvious to anyone who read the Weekly Standard, that neocons had nothing to do with conservatism or the Constitution, and everything to do with socialism and foreign interventionism. Why else would they hate those of us who are Paleocons, libertarians, constitutionists etc? We had been exposing them for *years*. They are scum.
