[Pen-l] "neoconservatism" never existed!

[Jim Devine <jdevine03@xxxxxxxxx>]

from SLATE, 2/20/09:
>The [Washington POST's] Dana Milbank reports on what sounds like an almost too-good-to-be-true public appearance by Richard Perle, who tried to convince an audience he isn't a neoconservative and, in fact, that neoconservatives don't even exist. "There is no such thing as a neoconservative foreign policy," Perle said. The man who co-authored a report that "is widely seen as the cornerstone of neoconservative foreign policy," as the WP explains, says he didn't even read it before attaching his name. He even tried to argue that there's no evidence these so-called neocons favored using the military to spread democracy and tried to say that when he talks about "regime change," he never means to "imply military force." Milbank says the audience was "skeptical." Maybe they were too dumbfounded to laugh?<

It also turns out that neoliberalism is a myth, according to the UK's
Adam Smith Institute. ;-)
