some of the "social liberals" who are defending Norquist and his Muslim allies are anti-Israel "paleocons."

That would explain why the BigGov neocons are trying to purge anti-tax warrior Norquest.

According to Lind, "The modern conservative brain trust originated in a scheme hatched in the 1970s by William E. Simon, Irving Kristol, and others." The plan was to make conservative intellectuals, hitherto an independent-minded, quirky, and diverse community, a controlled monolith that would function as the reliable tool of the Republican Party. "By the early 1990s, thanks to the success of the Simon-Kristol initiative, almost all major conservative magazines, think tanks, and even individual scholars had become dependent on money from a small number of conservative foundations."

Maybe if Grover *denounced* the paleos it would help him survive the purge?

That should definitely do it. Canadian whiz kid David Frum could rework his "Unpatriotic Conservatives" hit piece to purge any and all critics of Grover. The Jacobins need to stick together.

Lose the paranoia it and hysteria are the greatest impediments of paleos.
There are only x possibilities of Norquists behavior:
1. He has bought into the PC relativism of the left and refuses to judge minorities by objective standards.
2. He opposes the nation-state and thus does not agree with the concept of treason.
3. He is ignorant of the charges because he refuses to see them.
4. He cares more about bringing the Muslim vote than the threat to the country.
None of these are good reasons. Paleos should disdain the open-border WTO-supporting PC relativistic Norquist.
Don't tell me that the blinding hatred of Neocons by paleocons are bliding them to objective threats.

1. Is that Michael or William Lind?
2. Considering that many neocons including Kristol were DEMOCRATS in 1970, I find this to be a laughable conspiracy rant.

The charge that "neocons" are "pro-big government" are thoroughly hypocritical, as I have stated time and time again. "Palaeos" are opposed only to "big government" in America but support it in places like Spain, Portugal, etc. I'm sure if a Franco, Salazar, or Papadopoulos arose in America they'd be all for him.
