A loss for all of us. I add my condolences to the Kristol family.

I was also shaken by the recent loss of this young man, Assaf Ramon, who never got a chance to make his mark upon the civilized world.

Sad times, indeed.

"Unlike liberals, for example, neoconservatives rejected most of the Great Society programs sponsored by Lyndon Johnson; and unlike traditional conservatives, they supported the more limited welfare state instituted by Roosevelt."

And THAT states the problem with neo-conservatism in a nutshell.

Accepting FDR while rejecting LBJ is tantamount to saying, "But Mom, don't get so excited, I'm just a little bit pregnant."

Living to age 88 is a good long life by any reasonable standard. More than that no one should ask.
