In the first paragraph, you have the right question. The answer is that paleoeccentrics are NOT our friends and NOT America's friends and NOT Western Civilization's friends, nor was Ayn Rand. Bill Kristol and Fred Barnes and Bill Buckley and Bill Rusher and David Frum and Rick Santorum and Don Nickles and Jim Bunning and Anne Coulter and Laura Ingraham and Dinesh D'Souza and Henry Hyde and many like them are our friends. So are Richard Perle, Edward Luttwak, Paul Wolfowitz and Donald Rumsfeld our friends.

Blood and soil arguments which are the essence of the Rockford Institute's curious notions of conservatism and that of its few allies are remarkably reminiscent of Otto von Bismarck and several other more recent enemies of civilization from the same neighborhood as Otto.

You can put lipstick on a pig but it is STILL a pig. You can put lipstick on a paleo and it is still NOT a conservative.
