    I don't think he has any actual proof. Let's see some income tax statements.

    That said, there won't be a civil war. The war is unpopular among many republicans too now. It actually wasn't an unsafe thing for him to say.

    Never going to happen. National defense primarily preserves domestic order and the institutions and social hierarchies that are already in place. Those in power or assimilated enough to value tradition and stability over social parity are voting conservative and supporting the military.

    His father actually led all of the GOP candidates in fundraising from folks in the military.

    I don't have any popcorn, but I will go to the store since you make it sound like I need some. Better yet, this civil war in the GOP will increase corn commodities. I probably should contact my investment team to invest in corn before the civil war takes place. I am glad not too many people read mother jones so I will be able to corner the market before MSNBC breaks the news on the pending civil war.

    And Upright Barbara Jordan probably had the most funding from random-ass black chicks when she ran in '04.

    The point being, not all Republicans agree with the neo-cons on foreign policy.

    Enough do and realize their political value to avoid the previously insinuated "civil war." And conservatives were supporting assertive national defense since well before Kristol & Co. "Neo-con" is a narrow, distracting label best shuttered with the two wars that made it popular.

    Sure, they just keep their mouths shut and don't say anything until way after the fact. How convenient.
