believe eisenhower's presidency preceded rise of neo-cons who as 'liberals' (some of whom, as we know, had been socialists in their youth), felt betrayed by various changes of 1960s, they generally supported new deal but opposed great society, they were cultural traditionalists and disliked so-called permissive morality, they were almost unanimous in criticizing what they considered lack of u.s. resolve in vietnam (and cold war foreign policy elsewhere)... ike's differences with republican party led him to consider (with some seriousness) formation of centrist party, recall that fdr considered running for re-election in '36 as 'progressive' rather than dem... likes of goldwater characterized eisenhower's politics as 'go along to get along'... michael hoover -------------------------------------------------------------- Please Note: Due to Florida's very broad public records law, most written communications to or from College employees regarding College business are public records, available to the public and media upon request.
