Reply #3: Some of the DLCers are neo-libs

which is kind of like a neo-con who is more inclined to stress the importance of international alliances and diplomacy before resorting to military force. But neo-libs are like the neo-cons in that they believe that the US has the "duty" to spread our system of government around the world and to spread capitalism around the world too. The neo-libs are at least a little less ruthless about doing it than the neo-cons. The neo-libs are modern day Wilsonians. Some of the DLCers are neo-cons to be sure, like Al From and Joe Lieberman, but the predominant DLC thinking is neo-lib, in the mold of Bill Clinton or John Kerry.
