Good stuff on the neocon nature of the Tea Partiers from my friend Jack Ross at the American Conservative.

But even he seems to take a misguidedly benighted view of the tea parties, as implied by the notion that they have been merely co-opted by the neocons.  I would argue, to the contrary, that the Tea Party movement is in fact fundamentally neocon in its first principles.

What else needs to be said about the Tea Party?
