"ANYONE RECOGNIZES HIMSELF/HERSELF HERE ?"

I would hope not.

Mr. Kristol refers to "democracy" 10 times in his rumination.

The U.S. is not a "democracy." The U.S. is a "republic."

This forum is "FreeRepublic.com.

The U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights is about "liberty."

His only reference to liberty is disparaging remarks about Libertarians.

Mr. Kristol sums up it a best when he defines a neoconservative appropriately with his own words:

"...ever since its origin among disillusioned liberal intellectuals in the 1970s,..."

Let remind members of this forum who might be lured into Mr. Kritol's socialist based philosophy, that the term "liberal intellectuals" is an oxymoron and incongruent.

...Good points...I'm glad that someone else caught the typical [and false] 'democracy' = 'freedom' and 'liberty' propaganda...'Democracy' is a means to an end [achieving and preserving freedom and liberty]...

The U.S. is not a "democracy." The U.S. is a "republic."

Our form of government is sometimes referred to as indirect, or representative democracy.
