Three plus decades ago, reading the columns of Irving Kristol in The Wall Street Journal was what convinced me that I was no longer a liberal. You see his son, Bill Kristol, on Fox News, and read Bill's stuff in The Weekly Standard.
Politico's Kenneth P. Vogel has done a professional biography of the adult Bill Kristol, what he's done, with whom he's worked, and who and what he's supported. It makes interesting reading, he's been involved with the entire conservative movement in recent years.
