Laurence Vance tackles the question of definition. According to Vance:

A major problem with conservatives is that most of their talk about the Constitution is just a lot of hot air. Just look at the empty promises, grandiose claims, vain assurances, and blatant lies in the House Republican “Pledge to America.” Does anyone actually take seriously anything the Republicans say about the Constitution in their pledge? Does anyone think for a minute that the statement in the pledge about requiring “each bill moving through Congress to include a clause citing specific constitutional authority upon which the bill is justified” will actually prevent any unconstitutional legislation from being passed? And who received the “Defender of the Constitution Award” at last year’s CPAC conference? It was former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld.

Douthat observes that “The post-2012 challenge for Paul’s future-looking followers, then, isn’t building a movement that will outlast the man himself. It’s building a movement that will outlast the current political moment, and endure even when the incentives of partisanship cut a different way.”<>заработок на партнерских программахоптимизация и раскрутка а pdf

Frum adapts to the latest talking point, and it has worked. He is now NPR’s Moderate Conservative voice. Justin Raimondo describes this transformation:

This is the New David Frum, the moderate, measured, wonkish would-be charmer, who only loses his soft edges when the subject of foreign policy is raised. After a well-publicized break with the American Enterprise Institute over his supposed opposition to Republican orthodoxy, he also broke with National Review, where he had once taken on the role of ideological enforcer, and underwent a makeover. He set up the “Frum Forum” as the online headquarters of the Frummian Republicans, a small but extremely self-satisfied gaggle of online bloviators, who sneered at the Tea Party and cheered as Frum announced the GOP was in danger of being taken over by anti-government “extremists.”

Does this summarize the modern political environment?

The whole modern world has divided itself into Conservatives and Progressives. The business of Progressives is to go on making mistakes. The business of the Conservatives is to prevent the mistakes from being corrected. –G.K. Chesterton

Justin Elliot observes:

“It is downright misleading to say that sequestration will cut defense by $600 billion,” said David Berteau, senior vice president at the Center for Strategic and International Studies and a former Defense Department official. (Sequestration is the term often used in Washington to refer to the cuts.)

Leithart summarizes George Friedman’s view of American Militarism:

Once we dominated North America, we have to guard ourselves against possible rivals and enemies in the Southern hemisphere; hence the Monroe Doctrine and our meddling in the Caribbean and elsewhere.  Having stretched from sea to sea, we had to secure our coasts from invasion,eventually  stretching our power as far as Alaska and Hawaii to prevent attack from the West.  We now control the oceans to a degree unprecedented in human history, and we have to protect our hegemony against the rise of other global naval powers.

Fearful isolation, combined with power, thus breeds interventionism.  Our desire to live in security breeds militarism.
