Notice the similarity between the position of the Christian and moralist conservatives as discussed above, and that of the left. Like the Christian “conservatives,” the left also believes in celebrating the Other and lashing ourselves. Both sides believe that America is woefully flawed as it is, and both sides believe that the way to fix America is to hand it over to non-Westerners. ~Lawrence Auster

Of course, Jack Kemp and Bill Bennett represent Christian and “moralist” conservatives about as well as Bill Clinton represents the monks of Mt. Athos. If they are conventionally considered as exemplars of conservatism (as far as I know, Kemp’s main qualification is that he likes lower taxes), this is a problem with conventional ideas of what passes for conservative or being on “the right.” Bennett may hold forth and bloviate about “virtue,” but the Kristols like to talk about virtue, too, and every neocon and his brother invokes some vacuous “morality” in which the first, second, third and fourth commandments are, “Ye shall make war and not appease.” By their fruits shall ye know them and by their sympathies with the reheated leftism of the neocons shall ye understand them. Most every serious Christian conservative and moralist who comes to mind regards mass immigration as a grave problem and a serious danger to this country.
