Entry: Heil Hillary? Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/heil_hillary#15395 Post contents: Someone please turn off the italics. My attempt failed. Regarding the link to the Goldberg post, I didn’t quite know what to make of the TAC Bramwell review either. I thought Bramwell’s critique of the NR pro-Iraq War/War on Terror stance in his TAC article “Good-bye to all That” was brilliant, but beyond that I really can’t figure out where he is coming from. He is not a paleo. He has criticized paleos. Many of his observations about the Goldberg book are valid, but Bramwell seemed to me almost defensive of liberalism. Am I the only one who felt that way? Daniel Larison liked the Bramwell review. Bramwell seems to be still carrying a torch against movement conservatism, but I fail to see what alternative he is suggesting. The problem isn’t so much that Goldberg is wrong per se or reaching, which he is, but that he is conflating things. As a type of liberal (a neocon) Goldberg can not criticize liberalism without turning the fire on himself. So he criticizes a brand of liberalism that is in opposition to his brand.
