More on Kirk: It was Irving Kristol who was singled out for high praise in his essay. (Always got those two guys confused) The first half of his essay is comprised of his criticism of the Neoconservatives, in the second half he praises them. Here is how the second part of the essay begins: Having dreed the weird of that faction called the Neoconservatives, I proceed to praise them. For despite the seeming harshness of judgements I uttered a few paragraphs ago, I have many sympathies with these Neoconservatives, and admiration for some of them. Permit me, then, to touch upon their achievements. Having dreed the weird? LOL, what do you suppose he means by that? Kirk was one of a kind. Kirk was always suspicious of ideology, which he thought was a substitute for religion, and lent itself to political fanaticism. I think he perceived that Neoconservatives were prone to ideological infatuation. When Michael Novak coined the term Democratic Capitalism, he was leery. When they began to advocate vigorously he suspicioned a doctrinaire attachment. Despite his reservations, he considered the Neoconservatives allies in the battle for the Permanent Things, as he put it.
