1. You care more about Israel's borders than the US.
Cannot one care about both? Albeit an American should care more for the latter, but the Israelis make for a good template for what should be done.
2. You think that opposing free trade is Nazism.
No, but it is protectionist nonsense.
3. You think that Democrats are the "real" racists.
Tim Scott is not incompetent, but I generally agree with the sentiment that GOP tokenism is counterproductive.
4. You believe major cities are falling apart because of unions.
Just because X causes Z does not mean Y does not also cause Z, or that X does not cause Y.
5. You believe Hispanics are "natural Republicans"
Anecdotal experience demonstrates that assimilation and socioeconomic status are more important than race. It just so happens that our immigration system encourages poor migrants who do not learn English. If you fixed the laws to encourage more skilled migration and got rid of handouts I think you would see more industrious Hispanic immigration, with the appropriate effect on voting patterns.
6. You support corporations, despite their support for leftist causes.
Aside from the completely ridiculous argument that I should support economic idiocy because it hurts people with views I disagree with, I suspect that much of this supposed leftist advocacy is attributable to the silent threat of these very policies being used against them if they fall out of public favor.
7. You think military veterans automatically deserve respect.
No objection Wink
8. You think the GOP needs to moderate in order to win elections.
They need to motivate their base to turn out while not scaring the other side's base into turning out, as those examples demonstrate. Right now overt racism fails on the second test.
9. You spend more time attacking fellow conservatives than the left.
10. You are always apologizing to your enemies.
No objection.

Sounds about right in my assessment of the paleo movement, in that half of their arguments have merit and the other half are fallacious, with paleos placing the greatest emphasis on the latter half.
