"The Left that he snivels about is in service to the "idea" not the people they are expendable and their history is expendable."

I think you need to go back and read the post a little more critically. The ideas that are presented are not "liberal" ideas but the ideas that conservatism supposedly wants to "conserve."

The history of who a nation and it's people are is certainly not expendable if you believe in those ideas. If you are saying that the ideas traditionally held by our founding fathers and patriots are expendable then you must value them very little. It would then follow that there must be other beliefs such as communism, socialism, fascism or some other "ism" that you believe in.

What do you believe in? Pure democracy says that the majority is always right is not what our country was founded on and is a form that condones anything as long as enough agree and that nothing but blowing in the wind. Being blown this way and that with no real personal beliefs.

What did the old country song say? "If you don't believe in something, you will believe in anything."

For the record I am a blood and soil conservative quite unlike the author who when speaking of ancestors is probably two generations removed from the family debate between Stalin or Trotsky as the ideal leader. I am less then impressed by the authors concern for American history as one being about ideals as it is my view that the author is using American history for his own ideological purposes (that being his right) than one of love of nation. Also ftr I am 100% Anglo/Saxon and as far as I am concerned my ancestors landed at Jamestown fought the Indians settled the land fought a devastating war between the States and became a world power amongst many other deeds and misdeeds so with that in mind I have little need for a Johnny come lately and his ideological baggage.
