Pudentilla describes the current situation...

an american conservative is someone who believes that

a) the vatican ought to decide our domestic policy;
b) israel ought to decide our foreign policy;
c) communist china ought to decide our economic policy; and
d) osama bin ladin ought to decide who gets tried in our courts.

Used to be the lefties who were the internationalists, while the right was, to various degrees, isolationist. The right may still have trouble with the idea of domestic multi-culturalism, but they've fully embraced a radical brand of multi-nationalism. Prudentilla wonders "why they bother to call themselves American." They sure don't seem to care much about America at all.
