Bill Kristol, Fred Barnes are classic neocons.
I’ll never forget the Fred Barnes candidacy and watching FoxNews and getting schooled in neocon behavior.
Great lesson.
They all schooled at the knee of Peretz and Kristol and daddy Podhertz
Amongst others.....non Jewish as well
Hell the Bush dynasty....fairly patrician WASP is a benchmark of neoconservatism
Israel first....cool...I’m typically with that
Social issues not so important....cause many are former Dems
Nation Building.....no Tks unless you’ve destroyed the enemy in total war first like 1945
Fiscal restraint.....they are not good at it because they believe in the good of the govt arm
Neocons are basically Rockefeller GOP bred with 70s Democrats who left after their youthful stint with McGovern Carter and Mondale as the party went and stayed left
Krauthammer is like their sage....a culture lib
