Liberal Democrats Can be Neocon Warmongers, Too

November 9, 2004

From Little Frummer Boy’s latest boot licking exercise in today’s Wall Street Journal:

“[T]here are a lot of qualified and capable younger Democrats . . . facing a total of eight years in the foreign-policy wilderness. Many of these people have foreign-policy views surprisingly congruent with those of President Bush — more congruent than the views of some of those venerable registered Republicans who are now telling Mr. Bush to abandon the foreign policy on which he just got re-elected.”

And as Billy Kristol recently said of his magazine, “If you read the last few issues of The Weekly Standard, it has much or more in common with the liberal hawks than with traditional conservatives.”

To the neo-conmen, all that matters is the crusade for nonstop war against all the Arab countries of the Middle East, period. They hunger for what they call “World War IV,” as long as they can spend the war behind a desk at the AEI building in D.C., thousands of miles away from any possible danger or inconvenience.

(Thanks to J. O. for pointing out) the above quotes.
