Mmmmmmmm....wait'll the boys see Perry in uniform.
Hmmmmmmmm.....I been thinking about your post, condor........how to describe a neocon? Man, that is a dilemma.
NEOCON THINKING IN BRIEF: neocons want the Republican Party (which they loathe) to compromise and accept the moral ends of liberal-socialism, but with the caveat that conservatives can do a better job of doling out the goods and services. Note well: neocons demand Conservatives compromise THEIR principles. Liberals are being asked ONLY to compromise the manner in which welfare is delivered. “
NEOCONS are more hateful than regular-wrap Liberals. They are viciously opposed to so/con Republicans and will kick them around any chance they get.
As is their wont, Me-First Neocons are always spinning----striving to keep the US dollars flowing to some Miideast hellhole. After all, war profiteering is the name of their game----neo-guru Dickie Perle has a Mideast oil company he started in Iraq with war profits that needs continual financing.
The neos love wars---they just won’t fight in any of them. Not one one of them ever served in the armed forces. None of their kids, either.
The neos are salivating over Perry---with his lust for power, the neos figure they got a good thing going......after being out in the cold for s-o-o-o-o long.
Mmmmmmmm....wait'll the boys see Perry in uniform.
What I was trying to get across to that pinhead name caller was the definition of Neocon that the Daddy of all Neocons, Irving Kristol, came up with himself.
Or to put it another way: Neocons are in their hearts; Still Liberals. And Big Government Liberals at that. The only thing they are 'Neo' (new) at is the 'con' part. And said 'con' part is their 'Neo' (cough-bs) *stance* on Defense. But therein lies the rub.
A Neocon's idea of what should be defended is not necessarily what really is in the best interest of the United States. And if it wasn't for the influence of the Neocons by their powerful Lobbying groups, and through infiltration of the US government - like Doug Feith, it normally wouldn't even make it in the top five things we'd be concerned about as a nation regarding our own security.
That's what I was attempting to get across about 'Neocons'.
An aside: I don''t know when Irving Kristol came up with his 'Neocon' definition (didn't Google it). But iirc historically the first 'Liberal who went con', aka: became a Neocon, was Scoop Jackson. And his 'Neocon' Defense stance was regarding the USSR. So maybe Scoop Jackson is the father of Neocons, not Irving Kristol? [would that make little Billy cry :-)]
