Irving Kristol, Godfather of Neoconservatism, is Dead

Source: The Raw Story

Irving Kristol, the political writer and publisher called the "godfather" of neo-conservatism, has died. He was 89.

Editors at The Weekly Standard said Kristol died Friday in Washington.

He had been a radical in his youth but eventually rejected liberalism. He co-founded an important conservative journal, The Public Interest, and wrote several books, including "Neo-Conservatism: The Autobiography of An Idea."

His son is the influential conservative William Kristol, editor of The Weekly Standard.

1. It's a sad thing when you depart leaving the world less well off than when you arrived.

3. I hate the neo-cons..

Although I disagree with them, I can respect the Goldwater libertarian types, and some are even my friends. But the war-mongering a-holes that run the GOP now can all rot where their founder Kristol hopefully is at this moment.

They just never can help themselves, can they?  When Ted Kennedy died, I don't believe I posted a word.
