"They are soil and bloodline conservatives and they are an embarrassment to our country and our conservative movement."

If you sir are talking about Buchanan, Sobran, Alan Keyes, Howard Phillips, among others, I must disagree. I guess you would be embarrassed by George Washington for advising us to avoid "foreign entanglements."

When intervention is called for, I believe we should take action. However, I believe that whether under Clinton or Bush, we have become promiscuous in projecting our force.

As to projecting our values on other countries, well, it would be nice if we would send them the "right" values. We do not need to export MTV, Planned Parenthood, video games, violent and sexual movies, lewd styles of dress, etc, etc. If we free the women in Afghanistan from their burkas and replace them with lewd dress, Planned Parenthood, abortion, the "right" to exotic dance, we have simply exchanged one form of cruelty for another.

We also do not, should not force democracy on them. If they want a monarchy, it is not for us to decide. If they want a theocracy, it's for them to decide. Myself, I wish we would go back to a true republican form of govt.

Buchanan has reminded us that we are a republic, not an empire. The Roman empire fell, the British empire fell. We will fall too if we stay an imperialist nation. We must find balance.

The neocons are simply big govt imperialists and need to go away or merge with the big govt neodems.
