So the base of the GOP is opposed to mass immigration and free trade and at least divided over the Iraq war. Yet they nominate a free-trade, open-borders globalist who is preparing for a hundred year war in Iraq and warns ominously "there’s [there're] going to be other wars." John Stuart Mill was right when he referred to conservatives as The Stupid Party."Boobus Americanus." By Darrell, Dow Blog, 2/8/08.
A blog about Islamic intolerance and fanaticism; socialism; communism; government stupidity; and lying weasels everywhere, hopefully couched in vibrant and literate English and foreign words that make us look good.

Please define "they". for I didn't, and won't help elect that guy.
Isn't it ironic, Col., that at a time when Europe appears to be going conservative, with The Czech Republic, France, Germany and London electing neoconservatives, America looks poised to elect a neophyte Liberal.
Interesting times.
We are in a period of fundamental confusion about culture and politics. Few Americans understand the constitutional basis of their liberties -- or the degree to which they have been undermined to increase the power of the federal government far, far beyond what was intended in the Original Constitution.
And, as you note, the Republicans are about to nominate a liberal. Michael Reagan did have a different take on this which suggests that it's not so much that Republicans went liberal, it's that there was such a large field of conservative and quasi- or pseudo conservatives who diluted the conservative vote too much leaving the field clear for all the moderate and liberal republicans to concentrate their votes on the one liberal in the pack. Makes a lot of sense to me.
I hope you are right about the Europeans turning right. Possibly true in France but I don't think it can go too far there before it runs into entrenched interests. I think Sarkozy's victory was a thin one and in France, as throughout Europe, I don't see much of an awakening about the danger of Muslim inundation, with the possible exception of Italy.
Sweden is beyond lost and the EU itself is about to extinguish all European nation states and incorporate the Middle East into it.
We aren't the only ones who are confused.
