Vive La Resistance! I
Former publisher of National Review, Wick Allison, endorses Obama. Why? Because no conservative can support the current GOP:
Today it is so-called conservatives who are cemented to
political programs when they clearly don’t work. The Bush tax cuts—a
solution for which there was no real problem and which he refused to
end even when the nation went to war—led to huge deficit spending and a
$3 trillion growth in the federal debt. Facing this, John McCain pumps
his “conservative” credentials by proposing even bigger tax cuts.
Meanwhile, a movement that once fought for limited government has
presided over the greatest growth of government in our history. That is
not conservatism; it is profligacy using conservatism as a mask.
Today it is conservatives, not liberals, who talk with alarming
bellicosity about making the world “safe for democracy.” It is John
McCain who says America’s job is to “defeat evil,” a theological
expansion of the nation’s mission that would make George Washington
cough out his wooden teeth.
This kind of conservatism, which is not conservative at all, has
produced financial mismanagement, the waste of human lives, the loss of
moral authority, and the wreckage of our economy that McCain now
threatens to make worse.
Read
the whole thing. Jeffrey Hart, Bruce Bartlett and Douglas Kmiec are in
the same boat. Real conservatives are appalled at the current
Republican insanity.
