If "neocons" are such a diverse and multiethnic group, how come Novak, Buchanan and the rest of their ilk *always* just happen to single out the Jewish ones for mention, as well as for criticism?

You'll have to ask them. Do you deny that neoconservatism is a political philosiphy? What about the several Gentile FReepers who consider themselves neocons?

You'll have to ask them.

OK. But I will still ask you why you consider Jews to be a race.

Do you deny that neoconservatism is a political philosiphy?

It's a term used to smear Jews who are close to the President, but don't fall in line with certain elements of the far right.

What about the several Gentile FReepers who consider themselves neocons?

Name one who has come out and said that he or she is a neocon. With a direct link to that, of course.

Though Novak doesn’t address it in this article, to certain paleos, they’d simply be thought of as under the control of the Jews, aka neocons.

Certainly FDR was strongly influenced by his advisors near the end of his life, as was Nixon at the height of impeachment. GWB seems both physically healthy and mentally alert to me. The fact that some commentators somehow consider him under the spell of a cabal of DOD employees and commentators bent of serving Israel, rather than able to construct and take responsibility for his own foreign policy is bizarre.
