re: #98 Shiplord Kirel: From behind wingnut lines

Reagan, Thatcher, Pinochet, and Franco all have fan clubs at Free Republic but Kissinger, not so much. His Jewish heritage may make him suspect to the paleocons and birchers, despite his great work on behalf of fascism.

That’s part of it but the thing conservatives really worship is raw power, leadership, the strongman (or woman in Thatcher’s case) and for all his import Kissinger was just some Grima Wormtongue ass toady steadily whispering poison into the ears of power.
