Where the right is still going wrong

Read this argument against the strategic idiocy of preventative war and the obsession with biffing on the head every bad guy who pops up and says "boo" to the West.

The present warfare state fails to properly defend US (or Western) interests, but it is eroding civil liberties and sucking out its economic lifeblood. Not that the US has much of an economy left.

To jacobins supposed conservatives, torture is OK, but many right-of-centre people go along with it, and vote for corporate republicans and fake conservatives.

The Republicans deserve to lose in 2012 if they continue to be dominated by the war-party. If they don't change, what is the point of the Rebublicans? They don't defend conservatism or liberty; the Obama administration is as interventionist as Bush. So you may as well vote Democrat if you want to bomb bad guys and trash your freedoms.
