| | FRANK MEYER AND SYDNEY HOOK |
 | | Frank, an old and valued friend and mentor of mine, was basically a libertarian, or a far better term, what we would now call a paleo-libertarian. |
 | | Hence, Frank not only disagreed with the Old Right foreign policy of isolationism, his major interest was to reverse it, and he was the most pro-war of all the myriad war hawks of National Review and the conservative movement. |
 | | Thus, Sidney Hook, the Nestor of social democracy, was in his own unimpressive person the living embodiment of what the conservative movement has become: i.e., the disastrous subordination of every cherished principle to the slogan of "anti-communism," and hence the permanent embrace of war and statism. |
