Unpatriotic Conservatives

Neocons are difficult to parody. Take, for instance, this opening line from Bill Kristol’s column on Libya

Well, the NRchiks certainly have turned their back on Buchanan, Paul, and Co. (though they had already done that years before.) Still, some questions present themselves:

1.Has the Beltway Right actually learned something?
2.Are they simply saying this because a Democrat in office? (If McCain were attacking Libya, which he’d love to do, would NR announce that “Freedom’s on the March”?)
3.Is the mainstream Right sensing that the Tea Party is uninterested in foreign adventurism?
4.Was the movement’s break with Frum over the course of 2008-10 so acrimonious that mainstream conservatives have decided to go their own way on foreign policy?
