I don't know that you want to be lumped in with me, JNB, as I am an idealistic conservative (paleo or fringe to some), but I agree with you said and find it entirely plausible.

I was thinking about what people call Paleo-Conservatives, vs. the oddball "peleo-con" writers, and it hit me, most people at least on FR who are termed "Paleo-cons" are in reality populists. They are what would have been called in a different era Wallace or Truman Democrats. I will be the first to admit if I was around 40 years ago, I would have been a Democrat, but like with many of us, it has bene the social rather than economic issues that brought these people over to the GOP, but they still are populists.
