    Svensker:

    Glenn, I'd agree that Reynolds fits into the authoritarian worshiping mindset. But I don't think Ledeen does. He is a smart and slippery operator, a proponent of PNAC, "destructive chaos" and Israel uber alles (even when, in a rational world, his actions and goals are clearly against Israel's interests).

    No doubt. The mind of the right-wing follower on display here is Reynolds. They are share the same authoritarian warmongering mindset, but some do play different roles in how it's shaped, propagagted and consumed.
