[Chad C. Mulligan]

.....Irving Kristol and Norman Podhoretz and a few old copies of Commentary Magazine...

And what have they said that diverges from the classical neocon definition? Since you know so much.

Its not hard to know a good deal when you read their own writing. You should give that a try sometime before posturing as an authority

During the 1980s I subscribed to Commentary Magazine, the flagship of neoconservatism. Granted you may not have been born yet.

I don’t recall them ever posting a “classical neocon definition” but what would Podhoretz et al know compared to your favorite little Britannica article.

Commentary was a good deal different than Reagan’s favorite read, Human Events. Neocon writers ranged from a former president of the Young Socialist League to Cold War Democrats disgusted with the McGovern and Carter wing

What they had in common was an activist foreign policy with a liberal domestic agenda.
