[Peace-discuss] Why Germans Supported Hitler

[C. G. Estabrook]

At News from Neptune we've been calling that "The Incompleteness 
Principle"  -- which we formalize as, "No one can be wrong ALL the time."

I've thought for a while that among the various views we lump together 
in this country under the (misleading) title "conservative," one must at 
least distinguish between "Neoconservatives," who brought us this war, 
and "Paleoconservatives," who opposed it in principle.  The latter are 
represented by publications such as The American Conservative, 
Chronicles, and Antiwar.com.  The Paleocons shade off into the 
Libertarians, and both look to Barry Goldwater as their prophet.

I think you're correct to quote this "remarkably constructed morality 
tale" with approval and indicate its "comparisons to current events." 
Similar things have appeared among the paleocons for some time. I posted 
another example earlier today. --CGE
