World Affairs:
Neocon Nation: Neoconservatism, c. 1776. Oh really? These same Founding Fathers condemned their fellow, repudiated Aaron Burr for allegedly plotting to free the Western US from the yoke of Spain. You interpret history through red lenses, I can do as well in blue. Washington also said, “The great rule of conduct for us in regard to foreign nations is — in extending our commercial relations — to have with them as little political connection as possible.” John Quincy Adams said, “Wherever the standard of freedom and independence has been or shall be unfurled, there will be America’s heart, her benedictions, and her prayers. But she does not go abroad in search of monsters to destroy. She is the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all. She is the champion and vindicator only of her own.”
So I take your neocon golden eagle, and raise you a good old isolationist Virginia halfpence.
