Originally part of a larger group of intellectuals from the olden days Kristol is one of the few still living (strangely many of the others have died off from old age and illness over the years). Although his politics and views in general are not completely in line with mine I have always enjoyed his presentation, in part because he speaks (and writes) clearly of his thoughts.

 

For your further understanding let me direct you towards some places which may help you better understand the entire Star Wars theory.

 

Um, no I meant Neoconservatism.

 

Are you sure about that?

 

Sort of. But how about we discuss Daniel Bell who is soon to be 86? He's got at least a year on Kristol.

 

Well his ideas are more along the path that I choose to adhere to.

 

Path you adhere to? What the heck does that mean?

 

Stop questioning me just post the blasted web links.

 

Okay.

I am led to understand that a NeoConservative is merely a Liberal who has been mugged by reality.

 

By the by, BB, are you schizophrenic or do you find talking to oneself results in a better conversation?

Mumsy was schizophrenic.

 

Was she really?

 

Yes didn't he already tell you that?

 

Well maybe but what with this lingerining alzheimers I can't recall what your question was.

 

Oh would you twelve knock it off.

 

Twelve?

Twelve?

TWELVE??!

Twelve?

 

Alright so I can't count. The point is you're all being irritating to the others.

 

Yeah yeah whatever.

 

Hey don't take that tone of voice with him missy!

 

I can speak for myelf.

 

You have an elf? Lucky you.

 

Screweth thee off.

 

Fine! I'm gone. You won't have Dickie Nixon to push around any more.

 

To you Josco I must admit I get a strange, almost eerie feeling of satisfaction tinged with tingling excitement at the mere thought of conversing with myself. Imagine how enthralled and wrapped (or is it warped) in rapture I am when actually doing so. However; all that aside, in response to you and yours, no I am not as of yet legally schizophrenic. Is there a doctor in the house?

and of course from that illbegotten usage of the word house it was then decided that I was in some way shape or form related to BrinsworthHouseBaiter.... really folks you must start getting your facts tossed into the correct salads whilst merrily we roll along roll along merrily we roll along across the deep blue sea...

 

 

Oh wait I have digressed a bit of a wee bit now haven't I?

Point is I am me and ye are ye, yea verily I say unto all of you this may well be true.

 

 

 

Toodles!

Don't know who he was either but when I read the word "neoconservative" at the top and the word "dead" in your post, I smirked a little... :lol:

I don't know who Irving Kristol was either, but Bruno's posts have given me a laugh if nothing else.
