Puts Michael Medved rather decidely in his place...a low one...

Isn't he a neocon? Their intellectual paternity, it has been pointed out, is the old Trotskyite movement. Internationalist, globalist, antinationalist, anticapitalist, "social progressive".... but with a defense policy, and a yen to use U.S. power to project the globalist dream.
Very closely subparallel to the big-government Republican/Hamiltonian dream. Lincoln always thought the really bad thing about slavery was that it gave the American moral exemplar a black eye. It scandalized our national(ist) propaganda. It would be an interesting ticket, to listen to Harry Jaffa and, say, Calvin Trillin discuss whether Abraham Lincoln would have gazed with favor on the idea of exporting U.S. trade and politics on the deck of a gunboat to the benighted realms of the Old World. Which is what the Clintonistas like Maddy Albright and the neocons like Dick Cheney (although I think he's a National Greatness Republican, come to think of it) and Paul Wolfowitz have essentially been trying to do.
