Thoughts on the Alt Right and Hillary!'s Speech on Same.

Well, one can tell that the Alt-Right has arrived because Hillary! made a speech about it.

What is it? Honestly I don't know, and I don't think it can be defined by what it is. Instead, let's define the Alt-Right by what it isn't.

First, its not the Newtonian policy-wonk conservatism that has dominated the right since 1992. These are more easily defined as the Neo-Cons. That's me. Its not Newt, its not Marco Rubio or Ted Cruz, certainly not Paul Ryan.

Now there's more than just a whiff of the old Pat Buchanan in the Alt-Right, except its not really socially conservative. Heck, one of the biggest voices of the Alt-Right is super-fag Milo Yiannoppolous.

The Alt-Right is many things, but what unites its various incarnations is its opposition to Cultural-Marxism. It sees the Republican Establishment and Conservative-Inc as sell outs to the Marxist narrative. Given that I'm a supporter of Conservative-Inc, and I don't see we've got much done in the last 25 years, its hard to disagree with them. As Abdrew Breitbart (PBUH) used to say, 'Politics is downstream from culture'.

Breitbart has become the flagship of the Alt-Right and Mr. Trump is there man.

On a personal note these folks have caused me to reconsider some of my beliefs, especially when it comes to trade. As noted before, I stand by the Iraq Campaign and my Neo-Con foreign policy in general. So if China attacks Taiwan, yes, I think we must go to war.

Anywho, is the Alt-Right succeeding?

Well, they got Hillary!'s goat, didn't they. That speech of hers last week was awful, lecturing and rambling. Now, its tempting to think in that speech she was giving orders to the media to go after Alt-Right outlets like Breitbart, Takimag, Am-Ren, etc etc...but she already did that over the phone. She thinks by calling out the Alt-Right she try to define it. The effort fell flat. Because we all know if the nominee were Jeb! Hillary would be having a reasoned policy discussion with him, right?

The Alt-Right's emergence reminds me of another electoral event, that is right-blogisphere's coming out during the Rather-gate controversy of 2004. This took the left completely by surprise and for a few months, the right actually made the narrative. That didn't last long, of course.

So the Alt-Right has thrown a giant wrench into American politics. Good for them.
