How did this guy get on the staff of TNR?

[dynachrome]

“long tradition of liberal anti-totalitarianism “
How long have libs sucked up to Castro and his ilk?

TNR has been more neo-liberal than traditional liberal for the past 25 years. TNR backed the Contras in the Eighties, opposed the nuclear freeze and supported Desert Storm.

There are still differentiations on the Left as Christopher Hitchens has shown.

People who use the term “neocon” are neocoms.

Well, paleo is clearly superior, but there's no need to be emotional!

I'm a neo-conservative. I don't care what the Left thinks of me. I know for sure the two poles of my thought: I hate socialism and I love freedom.

In politics everyone wants a catchy label to characterize their opponents, and to avoid a simple label being slapped on one's own position.

When things go well adherents proclaim the truth and value of "neoconservatism." When things don't look so good, they run from the title.

He's right that "neocon" has become way too widely and wildly used, but he protests too much.

Right-wing social democrats were already being called neocons a generation ago, so there's less change than Kirchick says.
