My challenge to Paul Gottfried and to anyone who still identifies as Conservative or Liberal

https://www.chroniclesmagazine.org/blog/conservatives-foolishly-play-the-diversity-game/?FromReview=Y&mguid=25d1e08a-4e99-47c8-866f-fafffbcf856a

Conservatism is now a meaningless term as meaningless as Liberalism.  To call oneself a Conservative or a Liberal is to identify oneself as a political dinosaur. To be a nationalist is to want government in the national interest. Once nationalism has been rehabilitated and generally accepted that nationalism is government in the national interest, it will be easier to argue against liberal policies. How is uncontrolled immigration in the national interest of any nation?  If people fear the racism, xenophobia and antisemitism of 20th century old school nationalism, it can easily be explained to them that racism, xenophobia and antisemitism is not in the national interest either.  If Hitler and Mussolini did not quite know what was in the national interest of their countries who suffered military defeat as a result of their imperial wars, then it is easily argued that nationalism does not mean waging imperial wars that end in the defeat and disaster of your country. Britain who fell into its Thucydides Trap again in WW2, did not fare well either. Most people do not know what is good for them, and neither do most nations if they think that can remain unguided by God in matters of government and foreign policy. It should be noted that WW1 and WW2 were waged for unIslamic reasons. How prepared is Chronicles to discuss whether the Founding Fathers were in fact proto-Muslims?
