Maybe it's because I'm an unknown, or maybe it's because I don't buy the magazine. Either way, It is disappointing. Is it my fault that I am an unemployed writer, who just wants to be seen by others? *sigh* -Paleo Pat I just don’t understand why I wasn’t invited to write here as well.

Either way, It is disappointing. Is it my fault that I am an unemployed writer, who just wants to be seen by others?

But it's the same way for any ideological system. Spend enough time with Rockwellites and you'll find them naive and misguided as well. That makes sense, and describes a common experience.

It's the reason why the ad nauseum references to 'Reagan' get kind of old, they can't hide the diametrically opposed views and contradictions of the movement.

I was an excited 10-year-old in 1994 and worshiped everything Rush Limbaugh said until about 2004. I guess I was a little slow. I, too, realized that being a modern "conservative" required selective values. Big government at home was bad, but somehow big government abroad, such as endless military interventions into the homes of other nations, was good. Then I began to realize, Hey, these guys are just hypocrites and I'm a fool! Sounds a lot like my story.
