Taking The Neo-Cons To Task

My favorite retired USAF lieutenant colonel, Karen Kwiatkowski of LRC on Of Mice And Men:

Justin Raimondo’s precise, clear and accurate description of neoconservativism as "an authoritarian power cult" is both encouraging and exciting.

It’s encouraging, because he has named the beast. A Trotskyist-Straussian-Wohlstetterian-Kristollian philosophical tsunami struck our shores before dawn, and we have now awakened to widespread and costly damage to the ideas and way of thinking about the world that once made America both free and great. Authoritarian power cult is an excellent description of neoconservativism.

Read the rest of Karen's commentary here. I thank here for having the courage to stand up for freedom in the face of the hollow flagwaving chickenhawkdom that passes for patriotism these days.
