We reported this this morning. But it’s worth repeating and examining more closely.
Max Boot, a guy who still insists he’s a conservative, hates Donald Trump.
Donald Trump, as most of these conservative posers claim, isn’t conservative.
But let’s take a look at Max Boot’s beliefs –
In an opinion piece for Foreign Policy in September 2017, Max Boot outlines his views thusly: “I am socially liberal: I am pro-LGBTQ rights, pro-abortion rights, pro-immigration. I am fiscally conservative: I think we need to reduce the deficit and get entitlement spending under control. I am pro-environment: I think that climate change is a major threat that we need to address. I am pro-free trade: I think we should be concluding new trade treaties rather than pulling out of old ones. I am strong on defense: I think we need to beef up our military to cope with multiple enemies. And I am very much in favor of America acting as a world leader: I believe it is in our own self-interest to promote and defend freedom and free markets as we have been doing in one form or another since at least 1898.”[34]
In December 2017, also in Foreign Policy, Boot wrote that recent events—particularly since the 2016 election of Donald Trump as president—had caused him to rethink some of his previous views concerning the existence of white privilege and male privilege. “In the last few years, in particular, it has become impossible for me to deny the reality of discrimination, harassment, even violence that people of color and women continue to experience in modern-day America from a power structure that remains for the most part in the hands of straight, white males. People like me, in other words. Whether I realize it or not, I have benefitted from my skin color and my gender—and those of a different gender or sexuality or skin color have suffered because of it.”[35]
Let’s see:
– in favor of special rights for LGBTQ
-pro-abortion
-global warming proponent
– pro-immigration (This has to be clarified. is he saying he is pro-ILLEGAL- immigration?)
-believes in white privilege
-believes that women are discriminated against by the patriarchy.
If Trump isn’t a conservative, what the hell are his views that upset this moron?
You see, folks, NEVERTRUMP is a dangerous bunch for various reasons.
Some are secret progressives.
Some have embarrassing team sports attitudes. Trump beat Cruz so these childish dopes will hold it against Trump no matter how he governs.
Some are just dumb. Well, most.
This guys Conservatism is so low he’d have to look up to see down.
Never heard of him. Don’t care.
Consistency is all I ask! – Rosencrantz (from Rosencrantz & Guildenstern are Dead)
If he is/ever was conservative then Ronnie was a far left progressive! I smell a liberal lie!
Liberal Bootlicker more like it.
Who??
Not being against all abortion services and not having a problem with gay marriage makes you a socially liberal conservatives. But believing in global warming, white privilege, and “the patriarchy” definitely makes you a batshit crazy progtard asshole; no doubt about it. There is literally nothing there to make him a conservative in any way.
He is an ass, not only is he an ass he is a pompous ass.
Here’s a nice little piece of Tucker Carlson handing Boot his derriere.
oops – forgot the “paste” part! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYTOT7wt6eU
GAAH, forgive the redundant post of the Carlson/Boot video….I know, I’m fired.
With a name like his he could have been a wrestler in the WWF or in a Wynan bros. movie about an Army recruit.
And this guy clearly shows our problem. Here he is, masquerading as a conservative, appears on shows, writes papers, is quoted by talking heads, as a conservative, yet doesn’t have a conservative thought in his head. If there are people that accept him as conservative it’s no wonder those of us that really are conservative are viewed as radical.
F4UCorsair, or a movie about a German submarine.
Fooking cork smoker….. Damn!
“Speaking the truth in times of universal deceit is a revolutionary act.” Geo. Orwell
When he uses I, me, my that many times in a sentence you know he has a lot in common with the subversive gay Kenyan commie.
“I am fiscally conservative..”
Wondering if his definition of ‘fiscally conservative’ means:
1) You get to live in your house until you die, but not allowed to sell it or give it away,at which time its ownership will revert to the state.
2) Private companies will still be immediately seized by the state without compensation to ensure the fair transfer of wealth, ‘according to need’, but employees will remain in their current job roles and all are paid equal wages.
Look, you can screech that “You’re not gay!” Just because the chick you’re having fluid swapping sex with has a dick. That doesn’t make you gay, at all. You say so. That’s good enough. Um-hmm.
You can screech that “Never Trump!” doesn’t mean “Always Hillary!” You say so. That’s good enough. Um-hmm.
I’m no waze tard. Of this chit.
Liberals love to change the definition of anything that makes them look bad.
They can’t say they are liberal because it has too many negative implications so they pretend to be so clever by saying they are Fiscally Conservative. Sorry but the puzzle pieces don’t fit.
One cannot be Fiscally Conservative when Big Liberal Government is taking every penny one earns to feed the people who suck on the Government teat and vote Democrat!
Max Boot needs a boot out of the country back to Russia where he was born.
I’m guessing Boot’s a fruit.
He’s a freaking ‘senior fellow’ at the godless, commie Council on Foreign Relation!
That alone disqualifies him from any semblance of conservatism, Constitutionalism, or Americanism.
Pinko, baby-killing sodomite is more like it! Plus he has that ‘talking dick with ears’ thing going on.
