The argument was that Palin has “no allegiance to any industry, or “school of thought”” I was arguing that was pretty accurate, except for some “neocon” and she’s remedying that by hiring “realists”.
Palin is best described as a “Populist” as far as I can see. But this is kind of a neutral term.
What I what is someone explain to me how neo-con/Straussian came to be a pejorative term and why you used it as such?
From what I know Strauss’ thought is or is close to classical rationalism which is as “realistic” as any school of thought.
