The Coming Inflationary Crisis: Republican Neoconservatives Responsible!

                Oh, yeah, I've heard “smaller government” sentiments continuously from establishment Republicans for years, so why the crippling debt?  Why the growth in government during your watch?

                I can already hear your response my misguided neoconservative friend who thinks he has not been brainwashed by the last 17 years: "It’s the Democrats’ fault!"  Really?  Which of the two parties should be expected to fight for smaller government and fiscal responsibility?   The Democrats are the historical spendthrifts, of course they will try to spend more and make government bigger.  It falls exclusively to the Republicans to keep them in line.  So either the ruling neoconservatives Republicans have provided a completely incompetent and ineffective opposition, or they have more in common with Lenin than with Burke.  Former neoconservative intellectual Francis Fukuyama recently wrote that neoconservatives,

“…believed that history can be pushed along with the right application of power and will. Leninism was a tragedy in its Bolshevik version, and it has returned as farce when practiced by the United States. Neoconservatism, as both a political symbol and a body of thought, has evolved into something I can no longer support."

                Facts are, while their main agenda is the promotion of their ideals worldwide, preemptively if possible, on the domestic side neoconservative are (a) more comfortable with efficient government then with less government, and (b) more relaxed about deficit spending than being fiscally responsible. 

                Such is the reason I am set at odds with the majority of "conservatives" misguided by the now neoconservative establishment.  The prepackaged absolutist sophistry from their sacrosanct, sanctimonious, self-appointed, simpleton leaders like Sean Hannity, Ann Coulter, and Rush make me want to gag and puke.   

              Worse is the Media's association of neoconservatives' utter failure with real conservative's practical time-tested ideas.  They have allowed the media to once again say, with such honest socialistic concern,  “Is capitalism outdated?  Blah, blah, blah.  Watch the CNN special tonight. Blah, blah.”  I don’t like to gag or puke so I’ve stopped watching or listening to both the absolutist and the socialist.

                Before our country gets any better politically, there must be a practical alternative to the bankrupt neoconservative agenda.  I am calling for the establishment of the best viable political values the world has to offer; that of a neo-traditional (non-racist) conservatism to restore the respect, intellectual integrity and decency of the now broken and humiliated Republican Party.

Neotraditional conservatives will have to be sure of their historical foundations, courageously endure flak from "both" sides, and be versed in the true origins of conservatism, not this Mickey Mouse version they've been handed.  Are you up to the challenge?  It’s only our entire country at stake.

Sincerely,

Lawrence A. Feriozzi
