My role models are Thomas Jeferson, Robert A Taft and Barry Goldwater.
The phony NeoCON role models as stated in the article are Woodrow Wilson, Fraudlin Defecit Russiavelt, Harry Truman and Lyndon Johnson as well as Martin Luther King.
Ask the neoCONs where they were during the important ideological struggles of the Twentieth Century and they were on the side of the Liberal Establishment. NeoCONs were, for most of the century, New Deal Democrats until the Progressive Left took over the Democrat Party. Also in NeoCON politics are "former" Trotskyite socialists who were welcomed into the "Right" by William F Buckley who appointed himself the final arbiter of who and what is "conservative."
The co-opting of the term "conservative" by these shady characters is making me consider dropping the label "conservative" and calling myself an Americanist.

Considering that Neoconservatism began in the 1960's by opponents to the New Deal, you are plain delusional in your idol list.
As far as "Former Trotskyites", the previous edition of TAC had an article calling for anti-War commies to join the anti-war right.
