It’s not just those known as neo-conservatives who have
always loathed PB for his stands on anything related to Israel.
Even William F. Buckley, Jr., himself, personally joined in
the early waves of denunciation when PB tried for the Republican presidential nomination,
branding him an anti-Semite in an age when even among conservatives the label
is, as the liberals like to say, “toxic.”
And nowadays it’s pretty much everything he has to say about
foreign affairs that ticks off most of those who claim to be Goldwater/Reagan
movement conservatives.
He has urged repeatedly that Obama has been better in
foreign policy than McCain or Romney seemed at all likely to be.
He has urged a general American withdrawal from our vast and
unnecessary and unsustainable global military obligations.
He has had much kinder words for Ron Paul’s foreign policy
views than for any other contemporary Republican in a long time.
And here he berates the Republican senators for ignoring the
big questions where America’s interests truly lie in favor of silly and even
bigoted partisan carping in disgraceful service to the foreign policy concerns
of The Lobby and nothing else.
Oddly, he continues to defend Reagan's record in foreign affairs and continues to claim the mantle of Reaganism in that area, exactly as do the neocons and his other globo-interventionist conservative and Republican opponents.
Interesting, no?
