6. It probably means he's just an old-fashioned, classic imperialist
imperial as in 'Roman Imperialist'. See Shakespeare, "Julius Ceaser".

Marc Anthony excerpt: "Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears; I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him. The evil that men do lives after them...My heart is in the coffin there with Caesar, And I must pause till it come back to me."

Well, maybe he's not that old. And it's one thing to be a classic imperialist, but I am fairly sure he will become the American Cato, i.e. "Carthage must be destroyed!". Has the Cato Institute officially endorsed him yet? Will there be many Carthages?
