| | Neoconservatism in the United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The term is frequently used pejoratively, both by self-described paleoconservatives, who oppose neoconservatism from the right, and by Democratic politicians opposing neoconservatives from the left. | | | The doctrine also states that the United States "will be strong enough to dissuade potential adversaries from pursuing a military build-up in hopes of surpassing, or equaling, the power of the United States." | | | They feuded with traditional right-wing Republicans, and the nativist, protectionist, isolationists once represented by ex-Republican "paleoconservative" Pat Buchanan. |

| | Neoconservatives and the American Mainstream by Zachary Selden - Policy Review, No. 124 |
| | In essence, public opinion shifted in favor of policies that have been articulated by neoconservatives for at least a decade, and neocons have been very adept at articulating a policy that resonates with longstanding ideas in American public life. | | | The first is a belief that the United States has a responsibility to spread its vision of individual liberty. | | | He too sought to remake the international system from a position of relative strength, to spread democracy and the rule of law. |

| | Neoconservative leaders, he wrote, were guilty of ''corruption by excessive partisanship in the service of the Republican Party.'' | | | Still, if the neoconservative movement has dwindled or died, neoconservative ideas are flourishing as never before. | | | Senator McCain, they wrote, was ''an agent of creative destruction'' who might revitalize an ''ossified Republican establishment'' and rekindle the voters' faith in their leaders. |

| | His role as Deputy Counsellor to Nixon during the Watergate scandal, and Rumsfeld's position as his superior, seem to have instilled in both a belief in the imperial presidency based on executive secrecy and complete control of the decision-making process. | | | As the office was created partly to act as 'referee' between various decision-makers, the relationship between the National Security Advisor and the president is an important determinant of the influence of the NSC. | | | The mono-myth of a lone hero in pursuit of righteous retribution resurfaced in the public psyche and allowed Americans to invest great trust in the President. |

| | He was indicted by the Iran-Contra special prosecutor for giving false testimony about his role in illicitly raising money for the Contras, but pleaded guilty to two lesser offenses of withholding information to Congress in order to avoid a trial and a possible jail term. | | | Then-House of Representatives Speaker Newt Gingrich furthered his public rehabilitation by appointing him to the new U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom in 1999, for which he also served as chairman in 2000-01. | | | Beloved by right-wingers, who hail him as a hero for his championship of the Nicaraguan contras during the 1980s, Abrams first gained prominence as a leading neoconservative when he served as Reagan's Assistant Secretary of State for Human Rights in the early 1980s and then as Assistant Secretary for Inter-American Affairs. |

| | They mostly support, in retrospect, the early Civil Rights Acts, and they join with the neoconservatives in favorably contrasting Dr. King's vision of a color- blind society with the balkanizing quota schemes of today's civil rights establishment. | | | As Podhoretz says, "By now most neoconservatives have pretty well given up on the welfare state." (Though I have yet to meet a neoconservative who considers himself a libertarian.) On civil rights, it is the traditionalists who have shifted ground. | | | Neoconservatives differed with traditional conservatives on a number of issues, of which the three most important, in my view, were the New Deal, civil rights, and the nature of the Communist threat. |

| | Neoconservatives at Sea - by Jim Lobe |
| | Worse for the neocons are reports that the regional assistant secretaries of state, including the Near East bureau which neoconservatives had hoped would go to Pletka or someone of her ilk, will be dominated by career diplomats. | | | These developments are surprising in many ways given the jubilation of the neoconservatives over Bush's election victory and subsequent decision to drop Secretary of State Colin Powell in his second term. | | | The clearest of these developments, of course, was the continued deterioration of the U.S. position in Iraq despite the leveling of Fallujah in late November, which neoconservatives of all hues had confidently declared would mark a turning point in the war. |

Bush and the Southern Takeover of American Politics. | | | The religious right believes that God gave all of Palestine to the Jews, and fundamentalist congregations spend millions to subsidize Jewish settlements in the occupied territories. | | | The corners of the neoconservative pentagon were linked together in the 1990s by the Project for the New American Century (PNAC), run by Kristol out of the Weekly Standard offices. |

| | The buzz in Washington and beyond has been that President Bush's attack on Iraq came straight from the playbook of the neoconservatives, a group of mostly Republican strategists, many of whom have gotten funding from Milwaukee's Bradley Foundation. | | | The neoconservatives argue that we no longer live in a bipolar world, as when Russia faced off against the United States. | | | But Hulsman noted that the secretary of state and his staff have been less enthusiastic about the neoconservative vision and are probably more comfortable with the international "realists" at the Heritage Foundation, such as Hulsman himself. |

| | Among the Neocons |
| | The Standard was aware of the visceral resistance to this more aggressive Kristol-Kagan-Perle-Wolfowitz line within the traditional Republican Party, both from politicians with some residual isolationist tendencies and from the realist-internationalists who predominated during the Cold War period. | | | During the 1990s, the neoconservative I knew best (Eric Breindel) invariably spoke and wrote of Oslo as “a fact.” Though Breindel had significant ties to the Israeli Right (Bibi Netanyahu spoke at his wedding party), he was friendly as well with Shimon Peres and Yitzhak Rabin’s widow, Leah. | | | In the aftermath of 9/11, some neoconservatives (and others who are simply gullible) have touted the line that the United States is hated “because of its freedom.” This slogan fit for small children contradicts what virtually any American with business, diplomatic, or military experience in the Middle East will say. |

| | Zinni's comments are eerily similar to those made by former Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad at the Organization of the Islamic Conference summit this October. | | | "The more he listened to Wolfowitz and other administration officials talk about Iraq, the more Zinni became convinced that interventionist 'neoconservative' ideologues were plunging the nation into a war in a part of the world they didn't understand." | | | Technically, the former head of the Central Command in the Middle East didn't say "Jews." He instead used a term that has become a new favorite for anti-Semites: "neoconservatives." As the name implies, "neoconservative" was originally meant to denote someone who is a newcomer to the right. |
