People change. Ronald Reagan was a Democrat, Pat Buchanan joined Hamas . . . .

Hey, at least neo's and paleo's can debate with facts and intellect. Have you ever tried debating a leftist liberal? It almost wants to make you smash you head with a sledgehammer.

Thanks for showing up, Cinnamon Girl. As for the clowns, I’m disappointed, but not surprised.

There is a good amount of irony in the fact that the article mentions “neoconservative” was first used as a disparaging term by the Left, and that Kristol embraced it. Now it’s the term’s turn to be disparaged.

I offer my prayers for his widow and for Bill Kristol and his sister and their families.

We found such a giant thanks to the staunch conservative voters of Ron Paul’s congressional district.

Ever been to the TX Gulf Coast? It’s just about the most ‘deep red’ place in the Union.

They keep sending Dr. Paul back to DC, when ever he feels like going, regardless of what the RINOs do to sabotage him.

The Dems know better than to even bother opposing him, unlike grudge-bearing RINOs such as Chris Peden.

Interesting that you mention it . . . Rep. Paul’s ACU rating makes him one of the most liberal Republicans in the Texas House contingent.

R. I. P. for one of the intellectual giants of our time.

Just heard the news on ABC radio. The reporter, Steven Portnoy, said that Irving’s son Bill, is “one of the best known and most reviled” political commentators in the USA. Just how low can the MSM’s lefties stoop?

Well, it’s true. The only people that hate Billy Kristol, Norman Podwhoretz, ect more than the left are paleoconservatives and libertarians.

the ACU is a load of horsesh*t. Ron votes against most bills because they’re unconstitutional even if the ACU labels them “conservative” hence the skewed rating. I believe there was better research done which showed he is the most conservative in the history of the congress

Dr. Paul is actually the *most* conservative congresscritter of all time: http://voteview.com/Is_John_Kerry_A_Liberal.htm

For my clarification, neocon = RINO?

Neocon is an anti word meaning joo or rotten joo.

Kristol and others called themselves neo Conservatives -- not neocons. Pat Buchanan and his fellow party animal anti-Semites; e.g., cokehead Taki; etc., throw out the word neocon.

lol, I didn’t even think that one was worth responding to. To some people, they treat certain politicians like they are Jesus himself.

You mind not stinking up a funeral thread? Schiff is, at least still alive.

I can't get the great man out of prison. The money I sent for his appeal went nowhere :(
