A CONSERVATIVE ON NEO-CONSERVATIVES

Russell Kirk was one the the leading post-war conservative intellectuals and was at best lukewarm about the neo-conservatives. Here's one indictment from a lecture he gave at the Heritage Foundation¹:

"And not seldom it has seemed as if some eminent Neoconservatives mistook Tel Aviv for the capital of the United States.."

Midge Decter, the wife of War Whore Norman Podhoretz, called this line "a bloody outrage, a piece of anti-Semitism by Kirk that impugns the loyalty of neoconservatives."
