  Jeane Kirkpatrick - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jeane Kirkpatrick, born Jeane Duane Jordan in Duncan, Oklahoma, graduated from Barnard College in 1948, and received a doctorate in political science from Columbia University in 1968.
Kirkpatrick published a number of articles in political science journals reflecting her disillusionment with the Democratic party, and was especially critical of the foreign policy of Democratic President Jimmy Carter.
She later became a member of Reagan's national security team, where she was accused of accepting bribes, falsifying tapes that implicated Soviet forces in the shooting down of a South Korean passenger jet (Flight 007) on September 1, 1983, and advocating the dismantling of India, all of which she denied.

 The Harvard Salient: April 15, 1999: Better than Albright
Kirkpatrick, whose arrival preceded the previously unannounced creation of the Jeanne Kirkpatrick Professorship of International Affairs at the Kennedy School, focused the bulk of her attention upon Ronald Reagan as an individual.
Kirkpatrick continued, "The Reagan Doctrine was such a new idea that it took a long time to even name it." Indeed, Reagan would only use force in situations where, according to Kirkpatrick, American interests were being aggressively challenged.
Kirkpatrick's analysis of Reagan administration policy suggests that any foreign action should have a clearly defined goal and should be conducted with the "preponderance of force." Scowcroft also proclaims that successful military commitments involve careful planning, the development of a well-coordinated strategy, and a clear enunciation of U.S. policy and objectives.

 Stanley Kurtz on David Brock and Jeanne Kirkpatrick on National Review Online
Brock claims to have been the "cub reporter" assigned to cover the Kirkpatrick speech by the Daily Cal, but Noah shows that Brock was not a "cub reporter" (he'd been at the Daily Cal for some time), and did not write the story on the Kirkpatrick speech for the paper.
Kirkpatrick told me that she had in fact finished her talk, but that the speech had been a fiasco, with much of it drowned out, and her friends and supporters appalled at her inability to be heard.
But if my informant and Kirkpatrick herself remember her finishing her talk, while Brock says Kirkpatrick stopped her talk and left, then we do have some reason to believe that Brock may have lied, not only about being a cub reporter assigned to the story, but even about being present at the event.

JEANNE KIRKPATRICK: If you think it is part of a solution, I actually think it may make it more difficult and more dangerous because, first because some governments and some administrations will use the existence of a treaty as a kind of an excuse.

 Ambassador Jeanne J. Kirkpatrick   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Kirkpatrick’s interest in the empirical approaches to political science, survey-based research, and comparative politics laid the foundations for her next three books: Leader and Vanguard in Mass Society: A Study of Peronist Argentina, The Political Woman, and The New Presidential Elite.
At the time, Kirkpatrick realized that she was undertaking unconventional analysis for someone associated with liberal democratic politics.
Kirkpatrick’s best try clearly pleased President Reagan, who later referred to her as “a giant among the diplomats of the world.” Still, Kirkpatrick never doubted her desire to return to the university and resume her academic career, which she has always felt was her true vocation.

 The St. Petersburg Times - The Rest (Global Eye)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Kirkpatrick, former UN ambassador and a top nut on the Reagan tree, was especially fond of contrasting your decent, god-fearing "authoritarian" regimes - Pinochet's Chile, for example, or (in those heady, pre-Gulf War days) Saddam Hussein's Iraq - with the unmitigated evil of "totalitarian" regimes like China, Nicaragua and the Soviet Union.
We were reminded of those grand old days of yore last week when Kirkpatrick came out of her think-tank mothballs to heartily endorse the candidacy of every good liberal's favorite Republican, John McCain - war hero, political maverick, blunt iconoclast, Doonesbury fave, and waterboy for the telecommunications industry.
Kirkpatrick was herself most Reaganesque (the current, Alzheimer's-afflicted Reagan, alas) when she professed not to know the eldest son of her Administration colleague, then Vice President George Bush.

Jeanne Kirkpatrick was a member of Ronald Reagan's Cabinet and was the U.S. representative to the United Nations and a member of his national security council.
Jeanne, there used to be a saying, the New York Times had an ad, "I got my job through the New York Times." Jeanne Kirkpatrick might say I got my job through Commentary Magazine, a very important article that she wrote that caught the attention of Ronald Reagan.
Jeanne's comment about the KAL-007 reminds one that a few years earlier than that flight a Korean airliner had drifted over the Kola Peninsula in northwestern Soviet Union and it had not been shot down.

 Why the US practises double standards
A noted neo-conservative academic by the name of Jeanne Kirkpatrick, who served as US ambassador to the United Nations in the Reagan administration, laid the intellectual groundwork for this agenda.
The difference, she argued, was that totalitarian dictatorships were incapable of reforming from within and so needed to be overthrown forcibly from without, whereas authoritarian dictatorships were open to internal reform, which could be tapped through constructive engagement.
Once Kirkpatrick had rationalised the dual strategy of embracing right-wing dictators while targeting left-wing regimes, a right-wing think tank called the Heritage Foundation translated the theoretical maxim into a practical proposal that identified nine countries for rollback: Afghanistan, Angola, Cambodia, Ethiopia, Iran, Laos, Libya, Nicaragua and Vietnam.

 Treason: Horowitz v. Coulter - Bruce Walker - MensNewsDaily.com™
Horowitz believes that Democrats are not recognized in Treason for the role that they played in thwarting communism, and he points out a number of important facts which someone who only read Treason would not know.
Democrat Senator “Scoop” Jackson of Washington State was as an implacable a foe of Soviet imperialism.  Democrat  Jeanne Kirkpatrick was an eloquent defender of American resistance to totalitarianism.  Ronald Reagan was a Democrat until 1963.
George Meany, longtime boss of the AFL-CIO, was a steadfast enemy of Soviet machinations.  Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan, a principled liberal Democrat from New York, is responsible for Ann Coulter having the very Venona decrypts essential to exposing the depths of Soviet penetration of America.

 Jeane Kirkpatrick Speech to 1984 RNC (Coined "Blame America First" and "San Francisco Democrats")
Kirkpatrick was known for her anticommunist stance and for her tolerance of authoritarian regimes.
She was accused of accepting bribes, falsifying tapes that implicated Soviet forces in the shooting down of a Korean passenger jet, and advocating the dismantling of India, all of which she vehemently denied.
It is interesting that Reagan and Kirkpatrick were both long-time Democrats through the Truman years but backed away while the Democrat party abandoned its core principles and ideals in the 1960's and 1970's.

At the 1984 Republican National Convention held in Dallas, Jeanne Kirkpatrick delivered one of the most devastating speeches in modern American politics.
Jeanne Kirkpatrick was a so-called Reagan Democrat, but the reality is that Reagan didn't pull her out of the Democratic Party, the San Francisco Democrats chased her out.
There were some Democrats -gluttons for punishment -who considered themselves heirs to Truman and Marshall who stayed in the party hoping to beat back the dominance of the San Francisco Democrats.

 BrothersJudd.com - Review of Jeane Kirkpatrick's Dictatorships and Double Standards : Rationalism and Reason in Politics
Able to imagine a utopian world in which Marxist guerilla leaders turn a illiterate, Third World, agrarian, nation into a liberal, egalitarian democracy (moreover, one that would be unfettered by such hoary institutions as the Church, the aristocracy, the military, etc.), they assume such an apotheosis to be imminent.
Kirkpatrick's theory was ultimately vindicated at least in this regard as this was basically the process which occurred in places like Spain, the Philippines, South Africa, Chile, and so on.
The fact that Kirkpatrick became a major player in the administration the defeated Communism and won the Cold War, the degree to which her ideas were turned into official U. policy, and the prophetic quality of much that she wrote, makes them well worth your while.

Holy smokes, Jeanne, I saw you on LateEdition with Wolf Blitzer yesterday, talking about what a bad guy Saddam Hussein was for invading Kuwait in 1990.
If you do even a cursory check, Jeanne, you will find that King Fahd not only agreed with Saddam that the Emir was at fault, but also that Saddam was as happy as a clam with Saudi Arabia for having forgiven Baghdad it multi-billion dollar war debt.
You must know, Jeanne, that I’ve often wondered how you felt about being snookered as I was, and as the American people were.

 THE BELGRAVIA DISPATCH: Rumblings of Internecine Warfare Chez the Neo-Cons
Jeane Kirkpatrick, the former United Nations ambassador and another founder of the neoconservative movement, said she, too, had doubts about the invasion.
For one, of course, what Kirkpatrick means is that we didn't go to war in Iraq simply because Perle whispered so to Wolfy who whispered so to Rummy who did to Cheney who then got the Kid on board.
These days, it too often appears, simply if you have the misfortune of believing that the robust projection of American power overseas constitutes, in the main, a beneficial force for stability in the international system--well, you come under suspicion of being a dreaded neo-con.
