Republicans Want an Imperialist
October 8th, 2007
We’ve seen that the Liberal brain is more adaptive, open to new experiences and data, and, therefore, less authoritarian. If true Liberals, what does it say of conservatives and republicans, and their world view? John McLaughlin, of The McLaughlin Group, has some insight on the question, via CrooksandLiars.com:
McLaughlin: Look Americans — particularly Republicans like you [referring to Tony Blankley] — they love authoritarianism.
Blankley: I don’t love authoritarianism. Even though I love you, John.
McLaughlin: Keep quiet now. They don’t want a President. They want an imperialist.
I think John McLaughlin has it right.
