A Conservative discusses splits in Conservatism
'The Split on the Right. But it is worse. Conservatives are fighting each other on the front pages of their own magazines. National Review writer David Frum made the argument public with a banner denunciation of any conservative with reservations about the invasion of Iraq... We rose up then [60s] and moved the world right and we can do it again. If we cannot rise to oppose empire, the movement deserves to fail. All we need to do is get off our butts and speak up for our principles.'

What 'conservatives' and 'libertarians' do not appreciate is that war and exploitation are inherent in a monopoly/enclosed system. Their job is to gather support for war and exploitation, but to persuade the public [and themselves] its not really war and exploitation. Here they are almost having a moment of awakening... Splits in 'conservatism' do however pose a challenge however for the neocons and the Bush administration. Over time, they will have to seize power by force and repress dissidents, or accept the defeat of their imperial/hegemonic ambitions and the loss of office and influence. It is by no means guaranteed that the latter outcome will eventuate.
