Founded in 1991, the Republican Liberty Caucus works to advance the principles of limited government, free markets and individual liberty within the Republican Party.

As Matt Welch explains in the Reason blog, Bill Kristol, the modern spokesman for neo-conservatism, whose own father was the intellectual origination of neo-conservatism, is warning the Republican Party about the threat of limited government. Says Kristol:

[C]onservatives should think twice before charging into battle against Obama under the banner of "small-government conservatism." It's a banner many Republicans and conservatives have rediscovered since the election and have been waving around energetically. Jeb Bush, now considering a Senate run in 2010, even went so far as to tell Politico last month, "There should not be such a thing as a big-government Republican."

Kristol has had his wishes granted under the Bush Administration. Which of his policies has succeeded?

    This guy is the biggest trotskyite heretic! What disgusts me the most are all the so-called “movement” conservatives who champion this guy and the garbage that comes out of his mouth. He’s particularity the reason why I don’t watch Fox News and all of their neo-cons.
