Thoughts on Oxymoronic International Conservatism
from Paul Cella at Redstate.org. Good points, all. I do worry that Mr. Cella falls into that oh-so-constraining habit of "binary thinking," however. The implication of his piece is that one is either an internationalist or a nationalist. Of course, there is at least one other possibility: localist. Of course, local concerns like self-regulation and self-government are more easily protected by the nation-state than by any world-state, so any localist tends to have more affinity for the former than the latter. Nonetheless, localism is certainly not nationalism.
