Very well said Traderdrew! Objective, reasoned and almost undebatable with out reference to marxist dogma !
Conservative principles today in our two party system have become little more then catch phrase sound bites to pander to those looking for an honest candidate who will help maintain these principle!
The neocon/neoliberal are connected at the hip ,both sprouted in Marxist soil!
The neoliberal marxist is patient persistent and vigilant and pursues his world goals through propaganda and forced consensus, unlike the neocon marxist who feels the urgency to dominate through the hegelian/darwinian concept that man can only evolve through war and aggression!However more and more these lines are becoming blurred!
This is the American two party system! You will not find a real conservative among them ,only the very fringes of American politics offer such candidates and even then we must be alert and not fall for cheap rhetoric!
