You've heard of RINOs, who now have their own webring. But what of the DINOs?

Here's a group the latter would appreciate: the Henry Jackson Society.

The British-based society's principles: that liberal democracy should be spread across the world; that as the world’s most powerful democracies, the United States and the European Union – under British leadership – must shape the world more actively by intervention and example; that such leadership requires political will, a commitment to universal human rights and the maintenance of a strong military with global expeditionary reach; and that too few of our leaders in Britain and the rest of Europe today are ready to play a role in the world that matches our strength and responsibilities.

Interesting that Scoop Jackson's legacy is being trumpeted in Cambridge, England (not Mass.).

Not many remain to do so in the Democratic Party here.

A query to readers: Is it possible for the DINO to survive in the Democratic Party? Should the DINO still try? Is there a place for the ancestral Democrat who upholds the FDR-Truman-JFK-Scoop Jackson tradition; who regards America as a force for good that should defend and promote democracy around the world; who empathizes with average Americans, and would call on them to sacrifice in the name of a great shared cause? Or is extinction the DINO's inevitable fate?

UPDATE: Charles Krauthammer pens a piece of epic sweep in the WSJ on "The Neoconservative Convergence." (Via Llama)
