For comparison, look at some of the simpleminded and snide comments that are masquerading as commentary at NRO. That is all I was giving him credit for. Being honest (although generally wrong) and not resorting to demagoguery. His analysis of the debate was rational.

He is injecting himself full of testosterone, which has made his brain go soft. Sailer has written on it <a href="http://www.isteve.com/ManlyMolecule.htm" rel="nofollow">here</a>. In a <a href="http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/the_daily_dish/2007/05/dissent_of_the__3.html#more" rel="nofollow">previous post</a>, Sullivan largely agrees with a reader’s email: <blockquote>“Ron Paul is unabashedly dogmatic on issues where he is hopelessly out of touch with mainstream America. I'll list two here: He favors a return to the gold standard, and repeal of birthright citizenship (currently protected by the 14th Amendment). … Yes, his position on Iraq has been both principled and consistent and he has been one of the few outspoken critics of this administration's torture policy. But we need to view all of this in the context of his larger foreign policy vision. Look, for example, at his insistence that we withdraw from the United Nations or the ICC or his unwillingness to aid Darfur. Do we really want an administration that shows even more contempt for international law and institutions then the one we have today? When it comes to foreign policy, the truth is that Ron Paul's much closer to Pat Buchanan style isolationism than anything else (complete with an irrational paranoia of illegal immigrants).”</blockquote> Bareback then says that we shouldn’t completely dismiss him as the MSM has, but then concedes the reader’s points. Bareback is largely like Chuck Hagel: A liberal globalist who supports the third-world invasion of the West, initially supported the war in Iraq, and now disagrees with the implementation of the war in Iraq. But Bareback may go even further, as he, like Christopher Hitchens, thinks the West has a moral duty to spread democracy throughout the Middle East. Bareback Sullivan is a fool.
