Interesting to hear that Kirk was "the original Neocon," when I have long believed that Lincoln deserved that title -- and it is well-established that Lincoln was a major formative influence on the young James T. Kirk.
Boy those Neocons sure sound convincing, reciting the "E Plebnista," don't they?
