[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

The trouble is that the neocons have been at the helm for too long, and have co-opted the entire conservative movement. My "agenda" is to promote the Old Right, pre-WW2 conservatism, the Buchanan/Raimondo style. I'm only one guy and can't do much, but I fancy myself a sort of internet intellectual mercenary, willing to strike a blow for the old faith.

That was a joke about you being AMMON, Darth. But I suppose you know that I can tell the difference between you.

In any case Buchanan, Raimondo, myself, and I am sure you were not active in any political movement pre-WWII. While there are lots of neo-conservatives around, this is really a fairly loose term, since it includes both William Kristol, and Jonah Goldberg of NRO, who, with his conservative brothers, laughs at Kristol's McCainsian 'Bull Moose' pretentions.

In fact the neo-isolationism that Raimondo, and the more recent version of Buchanan promotes has been a bit of a fringe of the conservative movement since the hard anti-communist right 'fused' into the conservative movement in the late 1950's. In the forge of National Review Magazine and Human Events, among others, in the period of the Eisenhower and Kennedy administrations modern conservatism was created with both libertarian and traditionalist tendencies, and has been a strong supporter of the promotion of American national interests. A good summary of this was the Sharon Statement of Young Americans for Freedom, written in 1960. With a modification of the references to our defeated communist enemy, it is a good listing of the central conservative beliefs to this very day.
