Buckley's biggest problem with Bush JR has always been Bush's complete dedication to big government, which Buckley see's a hearsay to all that is conservative.

That pretty much sums it up. W is a huge government President on both the fiscal and social side. Which is why I find so much fault with him. He's dead wrong on both counts. And his foreign policy is short sighted and misguided, to boot. The guy is a complete disaster. So I can see how real conservatives would find fault once they put the Kool Aid down. He's not one of them and there is no need for any real conservative to support him.
No, Buckley is not isolationist. Being against a war that never should have been fought and/or pointing out how poorly W and his people have handled it is not being isolationist.
