No William P, Reagan did nothing but watch it collapse by itself.

Wow…

Kemp and Goldwater would be proud. You know if they were racists who blamed everything on black people, and thought attacking an 11 year-old girl was a good idea. Hell, know wonder Goldwater directly said a couple years before his death to the right wing of his party:”Do not associate my name with anything you do. You are extremists, and you’ve hurt the Republican party much more than the Democrats have.”

You know what he was right, what your spewing isn’t conservatism, but collectivist garbage! You’re what’s killing conseravtism, you’re what’s killing the Republican Party!

Everytime, David Duke ran for public office as a Republican, Reagan, Bush, and most of the party endorsed his opponents. That should be more than just a hint about Republican Party’s tolerance for such bigotry. Take a hint!

Get this John Payne: Black people hate your guts, OK? You are bending over backwards to curry favor with a cohort that would like to see you and your kind exterminated.

Yeah, the comments at Freep *are* conservatism; your faux-con fragging isn’t. I can pick just as many anti-white comments at leftist and black websites, except I wouldn’t cherry pick like that because it’s an immature argument.

You are scoring PC points on the backs of real conservatives. Hatred and ugly? No, your self hatred is ugly. This is America and those Freepers have every right to talk like that about an enemy – enemy – that hates their guts. First amendment.

It isn’t 1964 anymore, sweetie, black on white violence is orders of magnitude worse than it was in the lynchiest of days. Go ahead and be suicidal if you want, but we don’t need a fragger in the tent. It is the age of identity politics and let me tell you your enemy doesn’t share your scruples or love for enemy.

Those men aren’t trolls, they’re men, unlike you Payne, willing to bend over for your enemies to score cheap PC points. Traitor doesn’t begin to cover it.

Let me tell you something: you think Freepers are bad? I have seen the future of American conservatism and it is 4chan. Check it out sometime Payne. Use a proxy

The little right-wing Marcottes of FreeRepublic are keeping it classy: they’re indulging in disgusting racist attacks against the Obama children. From the Vancouver Sun report: Moderators of the blog left the comments – and commenters – in place until…

Reagan was a Pragmatist, he didn’t believe that a Nuclear War should be fought or could be won. Which is very different from someone like say Curtis Lemay or many of the Hardliners in the 1980′s who would often accuse Reagan of being an apologist for Gorbachev. And while it is doubtful that any establishment Republican would go as far as Mr. Payne contends. It is also very doubtful that Foreign Policy in Republican circles will return to Brent Scowcroft Realism, or the “humble” Foreign Policy of the 2000 Republican Platform. Largely though it is not the Right that should be worried about on Foreign Policy. It the Wilsonians and Neoconservatives in groups suchas CNAS, who believe in Nation-building, and Pre-emptive Warfare, that will bankrupt this nation.

To be certain there is a greater level of nationlism on the Right. Combine this with an extreme loyalty to a National figure suchas George W. Bush, during the War on Terror, dissent can often be seen as treasonous. But this has been true through out most of American history under both Democratic, and Republican Presidents. Not mention that nationalism could easily to turn the people against any leader regardless of the ideology.

As for the hatred and ugliness of those blogs, well the only thing you can say is: Our conservative, and libertarian philosphies are dedicated to the belief of individual liberty, and there is no place in it for the collectivist taint of Racism, and Bigotry. We are the movement of Taft, Goldwater, Kemp, and yes even Booker T. Washington, none of these men had any patience for racism, and we won’t either!

Number one: The modern left (Communists, that is) have engaged in so much genocide over the last century it is hard to catalogue (witness the sheer mass of “Black Book of Communism”.) How any sane commentator views the conservative, with roots in Christianity and the free market system, as more likely to commit genocide, well, to put it lightly, makes me question the sanity of the commentator.

Number two: Conservatives are not committing genocide against Muslims, anymore than Americans were committing genocide against German Nazis. War against a fanatical, suicidal enemy with a 7th century mindset and the conviction of his god necessarily entails bloodshed. (War is hell, remember? I realize that facing a nasty reality is difficult for those who spend most of their time conversing amongst a rather sequestered and bizarrely naive blogging community, but read some history, and try to view your ancestors not as stupid, narrow minded warmongers, but as tragically human as yourself.) The vast, vast majority of Iraqis and Afghanis are much happier under the provisional American authorities than the Taliban or Saddam.

Number three: Despite Prof. Rothbard’s fear, Reagan ended the Cold War without ever turning it Hot.
