The Reason Conservatives Are Ineffective Defenders of Liberty

Paul Craig Roberts

Occasionally I note that conservatives are ineffective defenders of liberty. The primary reason is that they confuse America with the government. The government is not America. As our Founding Fathers understood, government is our enemy. They attempted to restrain our enemy with the Constitution and the separation of its powers. In effect, America is the Constitution, and the government’s attacks on the Constitution are attacks on America.

Conservatives confuse the government’s attacks on the Constitution with defenses of America. If you make immoral, illegal, and unconstitutional actions of the government known, as Assange did, you are denounced as a “commie who hates America,” not heralded as a watchdog for accountable government. Conservatives accepted the suspension of habeas corpus and spying on citizens without warrants as protections against terrorism despite the fact that these attacks on the Constitution stripped away our protections against arbitrary and unaccountable government.

Mike Pence personifies the conservative mentality. Read his response to Assange’s release...........more..........
