Thankfully TBR isn’t at the point of scorning solid conservatives like Jonah Goldberg. I mean, I’m aware he isn’t Breitbart-approved.
What is a neo-con, anyway?
----------------------------------
Fair enough, as we agree to disagree.
The neo-con is a "new conservative" who:
* was a former liberal/leftist,
* asserts it's the duty of the US to actively promote democracy world wide,
* wants use of the US Military, whenever necessary, to advance our interests.
The likes of Kristol, Podhoretz, Goldberg, Boot; among many, were the offspring
of Marxists who infested NYC Universities during the 1930ties and who were
fanatical loyalists of Leon Trotsky after his exile to Mexico by Stalin.
Promoting democracy world-wide was the theme song of leftist incompetent
Woodrow Wilson as well as the catalyst for our present globalist focus.
They actively promoted/supported the Iraq War and remain humongous
fans of Bush, arguably the most incompetent buffoon to ever sit in the WH.
Principled Conservatism evolved in the Greece of Plato, being reinforced
by the Medieval Scholastics and later by the English Whigs; among them
Berkeley, Hume and Locke.
It hardly needs renewal w/the malarkey these neo-con hustlers offer.
