the neo-conservatives |
How can Jay Severin on 96.9 FM talk say he's a libertarian and advocate bombing the crap out of Iraq in acts of agressive war? Because he's not libertarian on that issue - he's a neo-conservative.
How can Jonah Goldberg of National Review Online advocate going into Africa with the military and "cleaning up the whole continent?" Because he's a neo-conservative (luckily for us, he doesn't even call himself a libertarian).
Before World War II, American conservatives were isolationist and anti-war. What happened? Modern libertarians have some common ground with them and call them paleo-conservatives. If you go back far enough to the days of the French Assembly, where the terms left and right came from, the conservatives were pro-monarchy - for conserving the "old order." On that score, and most others, libertarians are definitely not conservative. All of this is to warn you to clarify what the meaning of the words being used are, when you start arguing with someone about who's a liberal and who's a conservative.
