Irving Kristol (January 22 1920 – September 18 2009) was an American columnist journalist and writer who was dubbed the godfather of neo-conservatism. As the founder editor and contributor to various magazines he played an influential role in the intellectual and political culture of the last half-century; after his death he was described by The Daily Telegraph as being perhaps the most consequential public intellectual of the latter half of the 20th century.
