Aren't (or weren't) Bill Kristol's parents members of the far, far left (Democratic Socialists or even Communists)? That's what I heard somewhere. Makes his point of view even more valuable to me, much like David Horowitz. They know how the enemy thinks.

Krisdtol's parents, Irving Kristol and Gertrude Himmelfarb were among the original "neoconservatives," liberals and leftists who moved right in response to the Left's moral and intellectual bankruptcy.

Bill Kristol is the son of Irving Kristol and Gertrude Himmelfarb.

If my memory serves correctly, they were marxists/leftists when Bill was young, but they have both been prominent in the neo-conservative movement for 30 years. Their skepticism of leftist causes was born largely out of the Great Society of LBJ.

My father was a member of the Youth International Party (college commies) and look at me now. LOL
