I've yet to meet a warmonger who isn't addicted to television watching
You have now, buddy.

And, as a counter-example, I can name you two peacemongers who are junk TV addicts. Survivor, American Idol, that crap.

Peace people tend to be better educated,
I graduated college.

avid readers of history (actual books!),
Yes. Quite a bit. Possibly more than you.

and attached to alternative news
You mean cheap leftist rags? No. I do read several news sources each day though.

Talk Radio
Don't listen to it. News and classical music stations.

American conservatism is inherently and hopelessly bankrupt because of its lack of intellectual rigor and rejection of systematic thinking.
I would suggest this shows your own lack of intellectual rigor. There is in fact quite an intellectual foundation to conservatism.

"All conservatives are such from personal defects. They have been effeminated by position or nature, born halt and blind, through luxury of their parents, and can only, like invalids, act on the defensive." - Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-82) U.S. writer, poet, philosopher

"Conservatives are not necessarily stupid, but most stupid people are conservative." - John Stuart Mill (1806-1873) British philosopher
