It is an axoim here at the Chimes at Midnight

that conservatism is a dying phenomenon in political America.

Case in point, Jeff Jacoby's column in today's Sunday Globe in which the Laughing Young Senescence outlines a long bill of particulars against the People's Republic of China.
last year it was the Arabs as I recall, but with Iran's nuclear program moving along to slowly I guess Jeff felt compelled to jump back onto the olde Red Menace hobby-horse
The problem with U.S. conservatism as it approaches it's dotage is that it keeps looking for an evil empire to defy so that they can re-capitulate their alleged come-from-behind victory over Soviet communism under the leadership of God's Own Chosen Ham, Ronald Reagan.
THAT is all they have left to offer us as a foreign policy, with enough tax cuts and threats we can bring Beijing and Tehran to their knees.
