printWilliam Kristol is touting Paul Ryan and Marco Rubio as a 2012 presidential item.
What are we to take away from this? “They are both strong on national defense,” Kristol repeated twice to Neil Cavuto with that broad Cheshire-Cat grin of his. Could the neoconservative kingpin be licking his chops for war? Is Iran on the chopping block? What else would make a religious proponent of big government and American manifest destiny so smitten?
Cut to 2000, with Kristol and David Brooks making mischief together—or magic, depending on whose side you’re on. The two collaborated on a piece, “The Politics of Creative Destruction,” in which they argued that McCain would revive, rather than repress, the State.
And who could forget Kristol, over on the op-ed pages of his new editorial home, the New York Times (an appointment that speaks to how cozy the left-neocon cabal truly is), excitedly admonishing mutinous anti-McCain conservatives, while reciting gory poetry in honor of McMussolini. Limbaugh he had maligned as suffering from “McCain Derangement Syndrome.”
If Kristol is this excited, it must mean the promise of killing and carnage.
Word association: the mere mention of William Kristol brings invasion to mind.
“If Kristol is this excited, it must mean the promise of killing and carnage.”
If this logic works, then truly we are doomed, for Kristol is also excited about Michelle Bachmann, whom he has labeled “an authentic neocon.”

True, this week because she switched from a young Democrat to Republican, he claimed “Neo-Con” status for her; but, last week he criticized her for taking a position of refusing to raise the debt ceiling. http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/no-turkey-cold-enough_525981.html
I don’t think he can make up his own mind. Neo-Cons believe in a unlimited treasury don’t they?
It’s interesting to note that the newly elected Senator Paul from Kentucky was not the fair haired child to Mr. Kristol.
