Conservatives waking up - Neocons March Left
http://acuf.org/issues/issue21/040929news.asp
Recalling a famous saying of his father, the neoconservative pioneer Irving Kristol, that a neoconservative was "a liberal who has been mugged by reality," the younger Mr. Kristol joked that now they might end up as neoliberals--defined as "neoconservatives who had been mugged by reality in Iraq."

In short, Kristol was saying to the GOP, "if you don't continue your Wilsonian march, we will find a party (maybe Wilson's) that will."

<...>

The neocons--and they admit this--are hawks first, and Republicans or conservatives second...



Just reading the Krauthammer headlines and the Kristol covers, we begin to see the bigger picture that is the neocons' vision. Iraq was just one piece in the puzzle of reshaping the entire Middle East and spreading Democracy to every corner of the world--an undertaking many conservatives (not just the paleos) would judge more fitting for the left's utopianists than the right's conservatives.

2. Google THOMAS BARNETT
the neoliberal author who claims to be a democrat.

The Pentagon's New Map
It explains why we're going to war.
And why we'll keep going to war.
http://www.esquire.com/features/articles/2004/040510_mfe_barnett_1.html

The United States -- with help from other nations -- will play the role of global policeman and occasionally, when necessary, global SWAT officers.
Understandably this vision of the future will provoke accusations on both sides of the political fence that Barnett is describing nothing less than an American empire. American soldiers will be used to enforce a global capitalist order for the benefit of the West, they argue, in the same way that British redcoats once safeguarded colonial provinces. Barnett dismisses that notion as simplistic and insulting.
http://www.enterstageright.com/archive/articles/0504/0504thepentagonsnewmap.htm

Barnett is proposing worldwide genocide
and the wholesale elimination of non-european peoples.

Where does he get these ideas?

From Charles Darwin
who argued for the
Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life.
