Title of the book is “Imposter”
A book written by Bruce Bartlett is a little
rough on bush. Now Bartlett worked in both
Reagan and bush white house and helped formulated
the current bush tax cuts in 2002, so he is a conservative,
true and blue. From a publisher weekly review: Bartlett’s
attack boils down to one key premise: bush is a shallow
opportunist who has cast aside the principles of the
“Reagan Revolution” for short term political gains that may wind
up hurting the American economy as badly, if not worse
then Nixon did.
The next point is francis fukuyama, doyen of the neo-conservative
movement, has parted ways with neo-conservative movement,
as he wrote in this weekend in the “The New York Times Magazine”

Fukuyama wrote: “The end of History” in other words, presented
a kind of Marxist argument for the existence of long-term social
evolution, but one that terminates in liberal democracy rather than
communism. In the formulation of the scholar Ken Jowitt, the
neoconservative position articulated by people like Kristol and
Kagan was, by contrast, Leninist, They believed that history can
be pushed along with the right application of power and will.
Leninism was a tragedy in its Bolshevik version, and it has
returned as a farce when practiced by the United States.
Neoconservatisim, as it both a political symbol and a body of
thought has evolved into something I can no longer support".

Conservatism today is about the raw use of power and no
longer about a theory of limited government.
Want proof of fiscal responsibility, only under Clinton,
did the federal government have a surplus and not a deficit.
The two largest creation of deficits in U.S history is under
Reagan and bush lite.
