| | WHAT IS PALEOCONSERVATISM? A ROUND TABLE DISCUSSION WITH THE EDITORS OF CHRONICLES (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07) |
 | | The paleoconservative believes that the federal government is one of limited and enumerated powers and that, as the Tenth Amendment provides, the powers not given to the federal government are reserved to the states, or to the people themselves. |
 | | The paleoconservative is equally alarmed by legislatures that seem cowed by overweening executives, and by a federal government that, in all three branches, has usurped the primacy in domestic policy that was supposed to belong to the states. |
 | | Hence, common paleoconservative goals should include (1) a long-term moratorium on all immigration, (2) the withdrawal of the federal government from involvement in all racial issues, and (3) the repeal of all federal laws and court decisions (including the civil-rights laws of the 1960s and the rulings of the Warren Court) that authorize such involvement. |
