“American conservatism is traditionally isolationist” AMEN!!! The way it should be.And you wonder why so many of us on the Right have been smeared by the word “isolationist”. Oh, thats right, because Scoop Jackson Socialists floated on over to Republican shores back in the 1972. Big Government Conservatives or NeoCons is what they are called today. They effectivly changed the meaning of the word “Conservatism”.With the help of Bill Buckley (CIA) they made the word “Conservatism” mean More Statism, More Militarism and “let’s blow up the world in the name of Democracy”. Let’s hope with the election of BHO, they go back to where they belong.

And then you wrote this…”Which is also why FDR pushed Japan into war.” Yes he did, with economic sancrtions, and ending with the Oil Embargo that pushed Japan to attack us. FDR made it look like we did nothing to provoke it.

Now for TR. You are damn right he’s a Communist. Have never understood why this Bully has been lionized by the “Right”. He Nationalized everything he could get his hands on.(Not Conservative). Hated “Free Market” ideas, and thought the words “Freedom and Liberty” were alien words. Oh yeah, and could of cared less that we have a Consitution….

No wonder he’s loved by “Conservatives” today.
