Entry: Come Home, Conservatives! -- to the Antiwar Conservative Movement Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/come_home_conservatives_the_antiwar_conservative_movement#25575 Post contents: There is no anti-war right constituency. Those who identify as "conservatives" or Republicans are all for the war in Iraq, greater wars throughout the Middle East, and have no quibble with the security state measures enacted after September 11th. Anti-war Conservatives are basically nothing more than a few egg head intellectual types who enjoy reading the works of forgotten conservative thinkers. But it isn't a demographic that has any power or significance in American politics. The Neocons did not emerge into power until after 9/11. During the 1990s they were lost in the wilderness, desperately clinging to anyone (even Clinton) who would re-ignite a great civilizational struggle with the United States. The shadow of 9/11 will linger for generations, maybe a century, and until it passes Neocons will continue to receive the fortunes of the Heavens. Sent at: 2008 07 06
