It would be easy to label these "paleoconservative" lunatics. Some of them are. But their motives and opinions are more complex than that. All I can say is that many of these "paleos" tend to oppose Israel, favor the Arabs, think the Confederacy was a pretty good idea, correspondingly think Abraham Lincoln was a tyrant, and generally oppose a strong US because a strong military requires a strong central government.
I have little sympathy for any of their positions. When someone like Lew Rockwell calls Clarence Thomas a "liberal" in his views regarding segregation in the South, I think Rockwell discredits himself and has confined himself to a lunatic fringe. Unfortunately, we on FR have to contend with such knuckleheads every day.
