But this is the 'new' conservatism John. P#ss on logic, matter of fact toss it out the window. We've got people to eradicate!! Never mind if it is more reasonable to actually open talks with them or trade with them (as we did with North Korea) to get them to lay down weapons.
No today's 'conservative' picks a boogey man, ties it somehow in any way to 9/11 and the 'true believers' are ready to bomb the crap out of them.
And of course we should forget decades of interventionist policies and the fallout from such policies. Nope, just keep running in where angels fear to tread....oh and put ourselves in hock to the Chinese to pay for it...while complaining about 'evil' Chinese and their trade policies...
These good conservatives here will wake up to this awful truth when a Democrat takes the whitehouse. The mid-term elections should've been a warning.
Wake up now -- while you can still change things.
