Maybe define the trend when you bring it up so the examples don't have to but instead support the assertion. I'd also probably point out that this trend, as a trend, tends to drag both parties farther to the right overall. You The inference is there but in my experience most people don't get subtlety. But that's just me and were it me I'd define neoconseratism as modern day Trotskysim, belief in perpetual war etc.
E.J. Dionne. Jr.’s column in Friday’s Pittsburgh Post-Gazette points to a very disturbing trend <toward hardline right wing neoconservatism ala PNAC> within the Republican Party. Although this trend began during the Nixon administration it has finally burst forth in all its viciousness with the inauguration of the current Bush administration. The intolerance of moderates within their own rank and file, the use of intimidation and threats against those who do not tow the party line, questioning the patriotism of anyone who dares to disagree with or question the current administration’s policies, Senator Santorum’s K-Street Strategy, the current administration’s double-speak and it’s insistence on secrecy and executive privilege, and so on testify to the fact that the Grand Old Party of Abraham Lincoln is now the Party of Francisco Franco and Benito Mussolini.
