I especially like the way it makes the case.<br /><br />The heritage argument just doesn't seem to work on Americans today, and when it does people try to skip over essential elements. So many Neocons try to pass as "Reagan Republicans" and somewhat praise the Founders if pressed. But what they really want is war, bad trade, open borders. One today tried to argue how Muslim immigrants are good but that we need NATO and foreign policy to protect from terrorists.<br /><br />They cut out core elements.<br /><br />The appeal to Middle Americans just works better: Higher market wages, condemn big business, condemn big government.<br /><br />There aren't many of us in the US who are still of predominantly British descent like the Founders. There are still some Southerners. And you have Amish.<br /><br />Just explaining :) I partly like Bradford.

I'm not a fan of Bradford (too much on the libertarian spectrum for me), but I'm curious now to what this is about.<br /><br />I'll try to read this tonight.Weavernoreply@blogger.com
