The terms "true conservative" and "Constitutional conservative" have been thrown around a lot this year - as if American conservatism has ever been 1 thing.  It's not.  There have been several major strands of conservative thought in the post-war era and there still are.  But today's pundits don't know their history and that ignorance leads them to bad decisions based on false premises. So we're going to educate them.  Today we answer the question: who are the neoconservatives and what do they believe?  What are their distinctives?  The answer starts in the 1930s at City College New York but we'll bring it all the way up to the current day.  By the end of today's show you'll know more - way more - than the pundits.
