Among other things, VDH fails to mention that neo-cons (many of whom regard FDR as a hero) are well to the left of free market conservatives and libertarians on economic isssues.
exactly. They are fools for believing government "solves" many problems. They believe in an activist government in many areas that would absolutely appall our Founders. They don't believe in the wisdom of Governments best that governs least They are mostly located in the DC area and can't view issues objectively. They think without Washington, we couldn't function. It is interesting to hear Kristol at times, but I don't agree with a lot he says. What Kristol and many other neocons fail to understand is that our Republic is great not because of our government, but is great because of the Constitution restricting government (allowing capitalism to flourish) The idiots like McCain don't have a clue.
