Who is Max Boot?

Supposedly, he is a conservative.  The word "conservative" has become so ambiguous that it is necessary to make an attempt at clarification.

In politics, as in war, obfuscation reigns supreme.  In war, it's all about deception.  Politics is war by other means, it has been said.

There is a huge symbolic war going on, so it behooves one to understand what is true and what isn't.  This isn't easy when obfuscation reigns supreme.

But first, who is this guy?

I think it is fair to label him as a neo-conservative.  This flavor of conservatism is of the stripe that got the USA in the war in Iraq.  There's plenty more to put him strongly in that category.  This is the type that would definitely be opposed to Trump.

Further reading ( this is Wikipedia, mind you ) reveals him to be of the open borders type.  He is definitely NOT conservative, in my opinion.   He is definitely leaning in the direction of your typical Democrat.

How does this guy get to call himself a conservative???  It is part of the obfuscation intended to sway people to think he is somebody that he is not.  It is all a part of the symbolic war raging within the nation at the present.  Part of this war is redefinition of language.  That includes such words as "conservative".  We even had a president who once said what the meaning of "is" is.

The extreme irony here is that he was born in Russia.

Even a short study of Wikipedia uncovers some major truths about the guy.  How many people know this?  I didn't until I just looked it up.
