Neoconservatism, Pat Buchanan has written, is “the Arian heresy of the American right.” The Arians denied the humanity of Jesus, disputing the “Hypostatic Union.”  Neocons are wrong, often tragically wrong.

I would not want a neocon commissioner of baseball, but he would do less real damage than neocons in the White House, Congress, and the Department of Defense have already done.
