That was the neocon goal, to co-opt the Tea Party. And the neocon hired Sarah Palin and Glen Beck to do exactly that. Palin would go after the social conservative teapartiers which she did at the Nashville convention and Beck would go after the libertarian minded teapartiers who had some degree of loyalty to Ron Paul. That all culminated at Beck's rally on the National Mall and Palin would join him on the stage to join the two groups.
But Palin and Beck figured it would be better to co-opt the tea party for their own gain. And each has made good money off the tea party.
There was a lot of ill will between Palin and the neocons over that and it got worse with Sharon Angle and Christine O'Donnell. And finally there in the spring of 2011, Palin fired her two neocon advisors, Randy Scheunemann and Michael Goldfarb, because of the neocons' involvement in Libya.

Basically, the Neocons are authoritarian liberals who wrap themselves in the flag and spout platitudes about "American greatness" to trick the rubes into giving up their blood, treasure, and liberty to advance the Globalist Agenda - a police state at home and Empire abroad.
Not sure that neoconservatism really is "forward-looking."
A lot of it has to do with looking back to the America of the 1940s and 1950s.
But notice that Kristol explicitly claims Reagan as a forebearer, but not Eisenhower.
These occultist, Fabian, socialist theologians accepted Marx's social principles and amplified ampllfied through the Darwinian evolutionary trombone, thus helping to revive a failed godless theory of government by gluing it to the Savior of Souls, and calling it a "social gospel," still preached by seminaries broadly.
Brooke Foss Westcott was the first president of England's Christian Social Union, a voice of labor unions, and a precusor to Britain's Labor Party.
Searching on the string "Brooke Foss Westcott Fabian Christian Socialism social gospel" will reveal some quite informative articles.

What we need is “Kneel, oh conservatists” not “neo-conservatists.”
much less an anti-Semitic slur.
The “One Note Charley” clan.
Ping for later.
=========================================
LET'S STROLL DOWN MEMORY LANE
Invading Iraq without provocation was a horrendous US foreign policy decision devised by the neocons for their own self-serving reasons.
Then-Pres Bush installed the neos in the WH---in their own Office of Special Ops where---the neos connived (using our tax dollars) to get the US to invade Iraq.
Bush actually believed the pukeneos when they said an INVASION would "bring peace" to the Mideast.
============================================
THE BIGGEST WHOPPER OF THEM ALL---Bush estimated the Iraq strike would cost $50-60 billion........then Bush publicly fired his aide, Larry Lindsey, because Lindsey dared to say the war might cost more like $100 billion. That was in 2007 dollars.
Iraq and Afghanistan today total about $3 TRILLION, and we're still pouring money down these rat holes........thanks to the neocons.
Predictably, the war profiteering was huge---the WSJ reported neocon guru, Richard Perle, is setting up his own oil company in Iraq (your tax dollars at work). Richard Perle,
The US left Iraq with not a barrel of oil to our name.....and rivers of young blood spilled on its decrepit soil
===================================================
MOMENTS TO REMEMBER--- On the eve of the US invasion of Iraq, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee heard testimony from Marine Corps Gen Anthony Zinni---and other US military experts ---that the so-called architects (they dared not say "neocon") of the Iraq invasion were totally ill-prepared for a post-combat occupation.
US military experts ridiculed the Bush administration claims that rebuilding could be achieved within two years, that the weapons of mass destruction would be destroyed-------and that a vibrant new political and economic system would emerge.
Over a decade later, Iraq---and the rest of the Mideast----has yet to create a viable political and economic system....a system that is totally incompatible w/ their archaic Islamicist thinking macerated in the vengeful dicta of the Koran.
=====================================================
LAUGH BREAK The pukeneos said the Mideast was "thirsting" for American-style democracy.
(waiting for hysterical laughter to die down)
Same place now known as a terrorist hellhole...
<><> Where trillions of US tax dollars were wasted and rivers of young blood were shed.
<><> Where the blood-thirsty Muslim Brotherhood has a stranglehold.
<><> Where neocon godfather and war profiteer, Richard Perle, is starting an oil company (your tax dollars at work).
It took the US over a decade to get out of Iraq....as the globe erupted into Mideast-centered terrorism.....and hate-filled Muslims set sail for America.
===============================
These are the glory days of the neocons--now gearing up to relive those days w/ another gullible Bush.
=========================================
HERE WE GO ROUND THE MAY POLE Who could forget Obama's sap-happy "Arab Spring" when visions of terrorists as heart-filled humanitarians, weaving daisy chains, went frolicking around the May pole?
Obama's been prostrate---on his knees, all puckered up, apologizing for America, sucking up to America-hating countries. Obama, and his Chicago crime kingpins in the WH, have done everything possible to undermine US ntl security --- and they did it with our tax dollars.
Obama entertained the blood-thirsty Muslim Brotherhood in the WH; he gave the Muslim Brotherhood $2 billion tax dollars to finance its anti-American activities. It's certainly conceivable that the endless Mideast killings of Americans is being financed w/our tax dollars.
WHY WOULD A LIBERAL STAGE A MILITARY RAID? ANSWER COMIN' RIGHT UP Obama and HILLARY actually staged "military raids" in Libya. Did'ja ever? Who could image Smart Power types like Obama and Hill actually staging "military raids." But, heck, it was worth it----for Obama and Hill---they gained access to the National Bank of Libya. (No, there's no paper money there---just solid gold bars. Solid Gold. Not the fake Chinese tungsten filled bars flooding the gold market.)
Yeah, well let’s not let facts get in the way of style points.
Heheheh.......so true.....wish I’d said that.
Well Said!
These guys are both from Robert Kagan's Project for a New Amercian Century which has since been rebranded to the Foreign Policy Institute.
The more things change, the more they stay the same.
Totally agree if you change the word "democracy" with statism.
Best definition yet... except the word "liberal" has been coopted by statist progressives and neocons are probably closet eugenicists.
Also, by whose definition was Ike a traditional conservative?
I didn’t know that, thanks. This is why many called Hitchens a neo-con for supporting the Iraq war-he too, was a supporter of Trotsky. Either way, these “intellectuals” are far too left wing for my tastes.
The neo-Cons at “Commentary” are hypersensitive to criticism that they are obsessively focused on Israel, and that their concern for other countries, even America, is always secondary to Israel.
"Commentary" feels that kind of criticism is an ancient libel that questions the patriotism of Jews living all over the world.
