| FYI, this is the kind of work and materials that I appreciate from Quincy Institute!
It’s when they turn themselves over to Republican/Conservative/New Right flacks, perpetrating the “Big Lie” that the Conservative Movement ever stood for a “non-militaristic foreign policy,” and cheering on Gen. David Berger for “Fighting the Blob,” that I become too disgusted for words. Which one can see the “Conservative bias” they have, and what some of their “experts” are really about, in looking to so many of those ultra-militarists celebrated in this book: https://www.amazon.com/American-Conservatism-Reclaiming-Intellectual-Tradition/dp/1598536567?
Notwithstanding criticism of “postwar movement conservatives,” for their racism and support of Taiwan as the “real” China, and pronouncing that “what we have here are examples of self-described conservatives violating genuine conservative precepts,” the book goes on to celebrate those same "self-described conservatives” of McCarthy Kendall, Burnham, Buckley, and America’s first ultra-militarist, Teddy Roosevelt.
The “sane” people in that book are those recognized as ‘Liberals,” not those self-described “Conservatives,” that the book’s author loves.
Keep the Republican Party hacks/flacks out of events and away from writing/speaking, and promoting other Conservative hacks/flacks, and and perpetrating a “myth” of Republican Party “foreign policy restraint,” and QI would have an immediate jump in credibility by not behaving as a Republican Party media platform, publishing idiocy of “Conservative Restraint,” to feed as propaganda for other right-wing ignoramuses.
