Paleoconservative Radio

Does it have to be am/fm radio? What about podcasts?

Tom Woods? Gary North?
 
Just wondering, what's the difference?

The Old Right is a libertarian-conservative movement of the early 20th century that opposed welfare and warfare. A lot of champions of the Old Right, like Albert Nock, Garet Garrett, H. L. Mencken, and Rose Wilder Lane, are still read and revered by libetarians.

Paleo-conservatism is a later 20th century movement that carries over some things from the Old Right, especially noninterventionism. But all-in-all it's more of a big government movement, rather than a small government one.

I think the Old Right got its name to distinguish it from what was considered the New Right in the 1960's, being more interventionist, like Buckley and Goldwater. Interestingly, by today's standards, the old New Right would fit much better in the libertarian wing of the GOP than anywhere else, and the Old Right was even more libertarian than that. Where the Old Right still lives today is in what most people now call libertarianism.

And I think paleocons got their name to distinguish themselves from neocons, for much the same reason--noninterventionist versus interventionist foreign policy.

From what I've observed, it depends on the individual Paleocon. The Paleocons who rabidly support Donald Trump would fall into that category. On the other hand, Chuck Baldwin is a Paleocon who I would take over "libertarians" like Gary Johnson any day.

I used to consider myself a paleocon, but then my views on immigration and tariffs changed and now I'm a libertarian. I still consider the principled paleocons to be allies.

Yeah, I see Chuck Baldwin as more libertarian. And I think his own political orientation has shifted a lot over the years. He used to be at the very heart of what was known as the religious right, and today he openly criticizes that movement. Here's what he posted on Facebook just today:
I was there. I was on the inside. I witnessed it up close and personal.
The rank and file were sincere. But those higher up only wanted a seat at the king's table and increased wealth and influence--and they were willing to compromise EVERYTHING to get it.
The so called Religious Right gave us the Bush/Clinton Crime Family. It put the neocons in power--and they have retained power even during Democrat administrations. It gave us preemptive war. It gave us perpetual war. It created the Muslim wars. It gave us the Patriot Act, NDAA, and Military Commissions Act. It gave us DHS. It gave us a burgeoning Police State. And it continues to contribute to the demise of liberty in our land.
Call me all the names you want: but I was there. I was on the inside. I witnessed it up close and personal. America's pastors and churches were, and are, MOST responsible for the collapse of liberty and constitutional government in America.
Forget politics. Fix the pulpits and you'll fix the country.

You understand more correctly what Paleocons are, Erowe does not. Trump does not fit in with traditional Paleocon views, although some who identify as Paleocons unfortunately support him.

I'm not the one who identified Trump with traditional paleocon views. It was the person you claimed more correctly understood paleocons who did that.

What did I say about paleocons that you think was incorrect?
