“American Greatness,” as all things Trump in general, has gotten under his skin.
Jonah Goldberg wrote a column for National Review before departing for his Christmas holiday in Hawaii. Was it a retelling of a long ago night before Christmas, when a tiny Jonah in footy PJs couldn’t sleep for hope of a pony under the tree? No. It was a screed titled “Conservative Facts.” What set off Goldberg was a column in American Greatness by Chris Buskirk titled “Death of The Weekly Standard Signals Rebirth of the Right.”..............He bitches.
Buskirk’s column applauded the failure of the Weekly Standard.........like many conservatives, sees neoconservatism as an ism that through “titanic hubris and priggish moralism” failed conservatism..............They believe that while America was trying to build democracy in foreign lands with our blood and treasure, America, at home, was being transformed into something unrecognizable.......... Good motives don’t guarantee good results..............Neocon-endorsed wars in Iraq and

the target they explicitly reviled in their foundling days. .............during the heyday of neoconservatism “a new generation of careerists, sycophants, and know-nothings flooded Washington

change. Step by step it abandoned historic American principles and ultimately
came to despise the American people.............If Hillary Clinton
had won the presidency, she would have sent America far down the road to
something appalling............. Millions of Americans understand
this but Goldberg doesn’t and disregards their concerns............ Kristol
says that he piously prefers democratic and constitutional politics “But if it
comes to it, [I] prefer the deep state to the Trump state.” That’s a shocking
remark................To Read More.....
