Neoconservatives Portal

Welcome to the Neoconservatives Portal on Spinprofiles

Welcome to the Neoconservatives Portal on Spinprofiles—your guide to networks of power, lobbying and deceptive PR. According to Irving Kristol, one of the leading US neoconservatives, it is a movement of liberals "mugged by reality." Stephen J. Sniegoski reports that "the term was coined by socialist Michael Harrington as a derisive term for leftists and liberals who were migrating rightward. Many of the first generation neoconservatives were originally liberal Democrats or even socialists and Marxists, often Trotskyites. Most originated in New York, and most were Jews. They drifted to the right in the 1960s and 1970s as the Democratic Party moved to the anti-war McGovernite left." Spinprofiles has a policy of strict referencing and is overseen by an Managing editor and a Sysop and several associate portal editors. The editor of the Neoconservatives Portal is Tom Griffin.
