Um, could you generalize a little more? When you say something like "most paleoconservatives are bigots," you are further adding to the 'Republicans are sexist-racist-homophobes" bandwagon, since people think all conservatives are Republicans.

Further, the first thing that many neocons do when they want to defend their ideas against logically valid attacks is to trot out the anti-Semite charge, and I'm sick of it. I'm libertarian, and many paleos hate that viewpoint, but I will be the first to say that bigotry is not endemic to paleos any more than idiocy or lefthandedness is epidemic among neocons. It's a difference of opinion regarding government. Please don't jump on paleos because they'd like to take government back to the 1800s. Just because slavery was around then doesn't mean they're all for it.

See I did not generalize because I said MOST not ALL. If I said all that would be generalizing. And no I am not adding to the Republicans are sexist-racist-homphobes bandwagon since I did not say Republicans are bigots but paleocons are. Sam Francis, Peter Brimelow, Thomas Fleming, Chilton Williamson, Jared Taylor etc etc etc. Have you read any of their articles? The make Trent Lott's comment seem like the I have a Dream Speech. I am a conservative because of my belief in traditional values and classical economics, not because I think that our white European Christian civilization is threatened by the colored masses of the third world. I am against affirmative action, illegal immigration, and the left wing version of multiculturalism. I also happen to be for a reduction in legal immigration levels. But I do not racialize the issue and I happen to believe that immigrants can assimilate, all of them no matter where they come from. I know I did it rather well. And you know what? I am not the one who labels myself a neoconservative, at least not originally. I thought that I was just a plain conservative until these paleocons labeled ME and everyone conservative that thinks as I do a neocon. Paleoconservatives are mostly intolerant, of other viewpoints and of people who are different from them.
