It's easy to throw around names like "frauds" and "cowards." Why does the paleoconservative part of the movement upset you so? I sense a lot of passion in your post. I've read "Republic not an Empire," and thought it an excellent case for putting America first. I await PJB's "Death of the West" with eagerness. So you know what side I'm on...but why all the invective and hysteria from you? What's at stake for you? What are you afraid of losing if PJB had become president...as remote a possibility that may be? I'm interested in the source of your passion about the issue, and would enjoy the dialogue, so if you respond, try to take a deep breath and keep it civilized. I'll do the same.
Maybe you should not conflate "paleoconservatism" with "America first" rhetoric. Most of the time around Free Republic the latter is used as as SWORD against U.S. foreign policy supportive of Israel and such a foreign policy no more vitiates the notion of "paleoconservatism" then does any foreign policy which is supportive of democratic processes. With respect to "passion", so what?

Nothing wrong with putting "America first". But when its used as a political ploy for anti-Israel propaganda (and I assure you it has almost exclusively been used in that context on Free Republic) then it is a vacuous notion.

Why don't you ask you "buddies" that? Better yet, if you think rhetoric and invective is a one way street here then stick around for a further education. Moreover, given the posts I have made against this AGAviator character, for you to chime in for him, in whole or part, makes me believe you don't give a flying *&*^(^ about the U.S. (how do you like that invective?) But maybe you missed all his anti-American propaganda which I pasted above.

It looks like the guy couln't make dog-catcher right now.

Don't patronize me. Read the anti-American propaganda and maybe you'll understand the "passion". Or maybe you haven't gotten excited or concerned about anything in your life. Welcome to Free Republic
