Mark makes the rather odd argument that the GOP has become the Great Society in terms of its domestic policy, not realizing (because he has absolutely no idea what neoconservatism actually is) that neocons formed primarily in reaction aganst the Great Society.
Also, once again demonstrating his complete ignorance of Ledeen, he speaks of creative destruction as though it was something that occurred in foreign rather than domestic policy. This is explicitly spelled out in both Freedom Betrayed and The War Against the Terror Masters that I would advise Mark to actually sit down and read if he is going to continue criticizing Ledeen. For somebody who has repeatedly written about how Protestants who think that Catholics worship Mary are wildly misinterpreting Catholic doctrine, Mark seems to have no problem with exercising the same principles regarding those he disagrees with politically.
ADDENDUM: It occurs to me that Mark's fair weather isolationism that now serves as his foreign policy is more or less an attempt to carry the "root causes" argument for how to deal with crime into the arena of foreign affairs.

JOSEPH D'HIPPOLITO SAYS...'
Tork, expecting Mark Shea to argue intelligently using fact, reason and evidence is like expecting Lake Superior to freeze in the middle of August. Ain't gonna happen...

No, neocons tended to be former supporters of the Great Society who found themselves unwelcome in the Democratic party after the McGovernites and their heirs took over in the 1970s and later.
