What you fail to understand is that you're not reading a GOP propaganda rag. I imagine the authors and readers of this website would have no problem with his boycotting the Academy Awards over the war, because anti-war conservatism is the tradition of American conservativism, all of the neoconservatives in the war party are inspired by ex-Trotskyists like Irving Kristol and Christopher Hitchens.

Criticizing environmentalists for being anti-human is not a stretch, considering they openly promote not having children. You are taking the quote about draft-dodgers out of context, he's talking about the politicians who pretend to be anti-war and then go to war once elected.

You're also failing to understanding that while conservatism was formulated in the west and influenced by classical western thought, it is hardly an exclusively western ideology because it is isn't an ideology, it's basically principles and attitudes. Miyazaki displays principles and attitudes that are described as conservatives by thinkers following from Edmund Burke. Of course it's non-ideological, it's supposed to be. The neoconservatism of the GOP has nothing to do with traditional conservative thought.
