The founder of modern conservatism was a Jew
Benjamin Disraeli—twice Prime Minister of Great Britain, romantic novelist, inventor of modern conservatism--was a neocon in the plain sense of the word, a “new conservative” who began his career on the left. Conservative thinking dates to the dawn of organized society, but modern conservatism--a mass movement, a philosophy not for aristocrats and the rich but for everybody--was Disraeli’s creation. That modern conservatism should have been invented by a 19th-century neocon is thought provoking.

I called the period from the spring of 2002 through the November 2 election Neocon Dawn in the Savage Nation. I am now referring to this year onward as Neocon High-noon in Reality Nation. It is simply surreal and scary that many who voted, essentially for at least two to three more years of neocon stewardship of US foreign policy, have never heard of Richard Perle, Douglas Feith, or Scooter Libby, etc. One Bush champion in my workplace had never heard of Condi Rice or Dick Cheney!
