Kelly was known as a neoconservative critic of anti-war movements on both the left and right. He coined the term "fusion paranoia" to refer to a political convergence of left-wing and right-wing activists around anti-war issues and civil liberties, which he claimed were motivated by a shared belief in conspiracism or anti-government views. Kelly was a supporter of U.S. military interventionism during both the Clinton Administration and the Bush Administration.
