Oh, so this is the agenda - to attack anyone who says anything unfavorable about neo-conservatives as being anti-Jewish. I will make you a deal. The minute that someone accuses Rabbi Daniel Lapin of the Toward Tradition group of being a neoconservative, then I will join you in condemning that person as engaging in the stereotyping of Jews.
The minute that someone labels Libertarian and other Rightist Jewish intellectuals such as Ludwig von Mises, Murray N. Rothbard, Sidney Hook and Frank Meyer as neoconservatives, then I will protest. In fact, in some of my posts, I have criticized people who have tried to misrepresent the ideas of Leo Strauss, and have tried to label Strauss a neo-con. Such people have never read any work by Strauss. I am old enough to remember the era when Strauss was alive, in the 1960s. No one back then, ever confused the ideas of Irving Kristol with those of Strauss.
It is a shame that so many young people are so ignorant, that they want to shut down any and all criticism of neo-cons, by belittling it as anti-semitic. In my view, to caricature all rightist Jews as neocons, is inexcusable ignorance. Jewish contribution to conservative ideas, is not limited to neoconservatism. Get it?
If you want me to recommend some books written by rightist Jewish intellectuals who are not neocons, I would be happy to do so.

You COMPLETELY misunderstood my post. I said quite clearly that if that were the only issue I would not accuse someone of being anti-Semitic because they were critical of neocons.
It's the combination of that issue, the Liberty AND the link between you and AveMaria(as noted on the Admin Mod note on the pulled thread) which links you to the kosher food thread which make me supicious.
You can say whatever you WANT about neo-cons. I don't care.
