Paleo-cons and paleo-libs who fall into this trap create these silly debates over who is a Conservative and who isn't.
That said, neo-Cons seem to believe that troop movements in the Middle East is the defining issue of our time. Paleo-Cons and paleo-libs are working to build bridges to topple the current ruling elite that puts on a shell game called democracy simply to serve their permanent ruling status. We look to incorporate Southern state's right folks and embrace Reagan's efforts to restore federalism, even as we were disappointed that he allowed the permanent ruling class to continue ruling while he was in office (different folks blame the assassination attempt others believe a deal was struck when he signed Bush on to the team.)
Well said. You get the gold star.
You just gave the reason why so many people, including myself, despise the Perot/Buchanan type polititians.
They want to 'wreck the system' and hope they can make something good from the rubble. And they are willing to make any compromise to make it happen. [Examples: Pat Buchanan teaming up with Lenora Fulani and asking pro-choice Jimmy Hoffa to be his running mate. Or certain freepers supporting Traficant, in spite of his liberal voting record and his conviction on fraud charges.]
