Re: American Conservative stuff from another topic
Moose, I'd prefer to stay away from phrases like 'true conservative' or 'false conservative' for the very reason that Rrhain used to frequently cite in his True Scotsman analogy. But if you mean 'traditional conservative' as opposed to 'neocon' then yes, it's my understanding that the distinction between the two is the raison dtre for American Conservative magazine. Pat Buchanan is one of the founders. He considers himself a traditional conservative, i.e. one who is opposed to foreign intervention except when absolutely necessary to protect our own territorial integrity, who favors closed borders and who is generally distrustful of free trade. I don't follow the magazine or its website closely, but from what I know about it I would suspect that most if not all of the writers are opposed to the Iraq war.
