Now, Be a Good Little Right-Winger by Paul Gottfried

My question then is why are neoconservatives allowed to patronize and receive patronage from the enemy but our side not allowed to make even occasionally the same arguments as conventional leftists. My point is neither to defend nor disagree with this overlap, if one exists. There are times when even I lean a bit more to the neocons than to the paleos. But there is reason to challenge the special obligation being placed on the battered Old Right to stay clean of those whom neocons often cultivate as friends. Did neoconservatives consult us before they and their liberal buds began pummeling our side as fascists and xenophobes? Are the neocons to be so privileged that they should dictate our behavior, even while defaming us and even while sharing favors denied to us with their fellow-leftists?
