	Irving Kristol
		Irving Kristol, a Depression-era student - radical - turned - reactionary, is often called the "godfather" of the neoconservative movement.
		For many years Kristol made his Washington base of operations at the American Enterprise Institute...Kristol, in particular, serve[d] as a broker between conservative funding sources and the Washington-based research organizations, [and] supplied new arguments--if they were really needed--for supporting AEI and similar research endeavors...
		Kristol included scientists, lawyers, city planners, social workers, educators, criminologists, sociologists, and public health physicians whose hidden agenda, he discerned, was to propel the nation toward an economic system "so stringently regulated in detail as to fulfill many of the traditional anticapitalist aspirations of the Left."...

	Alice Lillie's Opinions: Irving Kristol (born 1920) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		One more thing: Those who, like Kristol, would like to see oversight of the market by Big Brother seem to forget that the power of oversight in the hands of a government friendly to their beliefs will be transferred to the next administration, which may be run by people of quite a different belief.
		Kristol discusses the Left, Marxism, and socialism at length in Chapter 3, which does show me that he is no longer part of the Left (as of 1979 when the chapter was written).
		This entirely escapes Irving Kristol, the neoconservatives, and also the Left, and this is the second reason it is wrong for government (read the elite) to "protect" the people from themselves "for their own good." The first reason is, of course, the sovereign God-given rights of individuals.

		Kristol would go to synagogue when his father did, but attendance dropped off when his grandfather died, "and once my mother died - she died when I was 16 - my father never set foot in a shul again.
		Kristol cites his position on the welfare state, which he is in favor of reforming and not impoverishing, as strict conservatives are, and on abortion, which he says neocons "never had a problem with," leaving it up to the individual.
		Irving Kristol and Norman Podhoretz are birds of a feather.

	Bruce Bartlett on Irving Kristol on NRO Financial
		Kristol's great strength was in understanding, more clearly than anyone else on the right side of the political spectrum at the time, the profound importance of intellectuals in the political process.
		The second wave, which included Kristol, came around in the late 1960s in reaction to the excesses of the New Left and the growing wave of anti-Americanism among conventional liberals.
		Kristol was also an important middleman between New York-based foundations, corporations, and media, on the one hand, and the Washington-based policy community and Boston-based university professors who made up the neoconservative movement.

	Letter to Irving Kristol, 1994
		In connection with this issue, here is a letter I wrote to Irving Kristol in 1994, in which I attempted to summarize my concerns about the neoconservative or mainstream conservative movement.
		Kristol is fighting the good fight; but I fear the problem is that the Republicans don't have any principles.
		Irving Kristol is a serious thinker and a clever writer, but sadly unmanned.

		Irving Howe, in contrast, was a pillar of ideological rectitude.
		Thin, gangling, intense, always a little distant, his fingers incessantly and nervously twisting a cowlick as he enunciated sharp and authoritative opinions, Irving was the Trotskyist leader and "theoretician." In the years since, he has gone on to become a famous literary critic and a professor of literature at the City University.
		He was that rarity of the 1930s, an honest- to-goodness social-democratic intellectual who believed in "a mixed economy," a two-party system based on the British model, and other liberal heresies.

	William Kristol
		William "Bill" Kristol, son of Irving Kristol and Gertrude Himmelfarb, is nearly as important to the right wing movement as his father.
		William Kristol's April 7 editorial in The Weekly Standard denouncing critics of the war on Iraq as "anti-American" is startlingly reminiscent of the menacing directives issued for decades by the Soviet Communist Party's Department of Ideology.
		Bill Kristol emails to clarify that he was on the Enron advisory board for two years “I believe,” for what would be a total of $100,000.

		Irving Kristol has long been considered the godfather of neoconservatism, a political persuasion that breathed intellectual life into the moribund Republican Party during the 1970s and helped make Ronald Reagan's ascendancy possible.
		But because Kristol spent the bulk of his career in the highbrow journalistic world of essays and commentary, he never authored a full book that defines his mode of thinking or traces its development.
		Kristol also includes several essays on Jews in America and on the country's latter-day shift to conservatism.

	Irving Kristol - SourceWatch
		Irving Kristol is considered to be a "neo-con" (neo-conservative).
		During the first Ronald Reagan Administration, he was the pre-eminent neoconservative writer, prompting the epithet "If Irving Kristol says you're a neo-conservative, you are." He has ties to the American Enterprise Institute (AEI).
		Funding: According to Washington Babylon, Kristol "took in $376,000 (from the John M. Olin Foundation) for his general support in 1988 alone".

		Kristol’s political activities began at the ripe old age of 12, when he aided Daniel Patrick Moynihan’s campaign for City Council president.
		Kristol is coauthor, with The New Republic’s Lawrence Kaplan, of the 2003 book The War over Iraq, in which the authors state that the “wisdom of regime change, the merits of promoting democracy, the desirability of American power and influence--these issues extend well beyond Iraq.

		Kristol gives him twice the space and treats him as his guru.
		The “horses” are, of course, those who Kristol calls “the common man,” and this time it is not the upper class Brits calling them horses, but Kristol himself.
		Kristol explains: "One therefore had to study—not read—their texts with a quasi-"talmudic" intensity and care, in order to distinguish between their "esoteric" [true] and "exoteric" [for the horses] views." The same is true today of everything the neocons write.

	POLITICS: What Is a Neo-Conservative Anyway?
		Many, such as Kristol himself, have Trotskyite roots that are still reflected in their polemical and organisational skills and ideological zeal.
		The regime was strongly defended by the elder Kristol, while neo-cons in the Reagan administration, such as Abrams and then-U.N. Ambassador Jeanne Kirkpatrick, worked to reverse the regime's diplomatic isolation and restore U.S. and multilateral aid that had been cut off by President Jimmy Carter.
		Kristol and other leading neo-cons have long argued that other Jews should not be offended by this alliance.

		Whether you agree or disagree with Kristol on any of the issues that he writes about is besides the point.
		Kristol is an extremely talented and intelligent writer and would be whether we was a neo-con, a old conservative, new liberal or whatever.
		Thus if you disagree with any of the points outlined in Kristol's book then do not let it turn you off from reading it, as it is still very educational about the neoconservative ideology.

		In announcing his acceptance of the Kristol Award, AEI president Christopher DeMuth stated, Mario Vargas Llosa's richly variegated work and career teach that the cause of freedom is universal-it is fundamental to the human condition and essential to the pursuit of justice and peace.

	Irving Kristol reveals the true meaning of neoconservatism
		[Kristol's readiness to use and discuss the meaning of the word "neoconservative" is a refreshing change from the attitude of such neocons as David Frum, who when I referred to him as a neoconservative a few months ago replied that the only sense in which he was a neoconservative was the anti-Semitic one.
		In any case, all this praise of America as a country with an ideological agenda doesn't sound like the Irving Kristol of yore, who as I remember was critical of excessive national ambitions and even, in the mid-1980s, urged that America withdraw its forces from Europe.
		I suppose I am coming to the view that the neoconservatism espoused by Kristol retains a certain secular utopianism that comes from the social democrat background, in that there is a willingness to try to use state power in pursuit of transcendent or ideological ends.

	Irving Kristol
		Irving Kristol began his political life as a member of the Young People's Socialist League in the 1930s.
		He helped to found what would be called the Neoconservative movement, a radical organization whose goals he would ultimately describe as: "to convert the Republican Party, and American conservatism in general, against their respective wills, into a new kind of conservative politics suitable to governing a modern democracy."
		In 1953 England, Kristol founded the magazine Encounter, secretly funded with seed money from the CIA by way of the Congress for Cultural Freedom.

	ParaPundit: Irving Kristol Is An Ideologue
		Irving Kristol has written an essay recently that has attracted a fair amount of attention entitled The Neoconservative Persuasion (or see here) (my bold emphasis added below)
		Kristol doesn't oppose communism because it is an ideology.
		Thus Kristol suggests that only an ideological country would come to the aid of other, mortally threatened countries, because the only basis for friendship between nations is ideological similarity, not cultural or civilizational or religious similarity or simply cooperation against a common enemy.

	Neoconservatism Made Kristol Clear
		Kristol first points out that neoconservatism had “its origin among disillusioned liberal intellectuals in the 1970s,” just in case anyone had any doubts about its ancestry.
		Kristol claims that “there is no set of neoconservative beliefs concerning foreign policy, only a set of attitudes derived from historical experience.” He lists three “theses” guiding neocon foreign policy and adds, parenthetically, “as a Marxist would say.” (The apple certainly doesn’t fall far from the tree.
		Once again, I must give Kristol credit for being accurate in his assessment that no central principles (other than the one left unmentioned, spelled p-o-w-e-r) guide the neocons in their quest for “national greatness” (as Kristol’s equally arrogant son, William, put it).

		Kristol also built up a high degree of animosity towards liberals during the radical era of the sixties.
		Kristol also has a much better writing style and a much wider array of interests than today's Conservative writers and if liberals can get past some of Kristol's more distasteful and sometimes pompous views they may even find themselves agreeing with some of his points.
