Irving Kristol (January 22, 1920 – September 18, 2009) was an American columnist, journalist, and writer who was dubbed the "godfather of neoconservatism

The movement was a reaction by disaffected Democrats who were unhappy with the erosion of traditional values in the Democrat party in the 1960's. A neoconservative was someone who was liberal in economic policy, liberal in social policy, but traditional in moral values.


Liberals think NeoCon is an insult to conservatives.

They have no idea what the term means
