Venezuela, anyone?
And the USA, if a DemocRAT is elected POTUS next year.
What is a “neocon” anyway?
Depending on the agenda it’s either:
-a conservative jew
-a conspirative jew
-a jew (conservative or liberal) supporting wars
-a jew
-a former leftist (pro-FDR/JFK) turned rightwing
-9/11 Republicans
-anyone supporting the War on Terror
-anyone who voted Bush
-anyone supporting Israel (esp. Evangelical Christians)
-anyone supporting American interventions
(I personally do describe my foreign policy view as neoconservative, defined as supporting preemptive wars (if necsessairy unilateral wars) against threats and potential threats, especially those emerging in the Islamic world.)

This love affair with communism persists to this day among many of the so-called “enlightened.” In one of my university classes last year, a fellow mature student expressed admiration for communism and declared it was better than our capitalist society. I then asked her what exactly was it about communism that was so attractive to her? Was it the 110 million dead? The gulags? The tortures and arbitrary arrests by the secret police? The food lines? Or was it the silencing of dissent, seizure of private property, or restriction on travel?
Naturally she didn’t have a good answer and I made an enemy for the rest of the course.
Some people just hate our society so much they want to destroy it and replace it with a so-called utopian system. Naturally, they expect to be placed in power in these new governments and will have absolute power over the masses.
After all, that’s what it really comes down to - they want to have power over others where their every whim is satisfied and their word is law. Since they cannot get this god-like power in our democratic system, they want to overthrow it and replace it with communism or another totalitarian regime.
“Neocon” means pro-israel conservatives. It’s as simple as that.
God, how I despise the left. Today's DemocRAT Party is no longer wearing the sheep's clothing of "liberalism" -- they are out-and-out Stalinists. Look for a President Hildabeast to begin her reign by re-imposing the "Fairness Doctrine", and consolidate it by outlawing political opposition, "temporarily" suspending the Bill of Rights, declaring herself President for Life, opening the camps, and rolling the freight cars.
It is, they just don't use the name, probably because it's so discredited among everyone but moonbat leftist "intellectuals."
Chavez claims he's "Bolivarian," as if the great liberator would have ever considered trading one master, Spain, for a thug like Chavez.
I think it is much more simple than all of that: naievete.
Well I am a neoconservative. I wear the badge proudly.
Depending on the usage, so am I. (I have a sneer, surprisingly seldom used anymore, for any self-proclaimed Marxists: ‘I was a Marxist when I was 13, I outgrew it along with acne.’)
The broad usage of neoconservative as ex-leftist conservative fits a lot of us on the right in my generation.
On the other hand, the most notable neoconservatives, while now very much men of the right, still have a whistful sympathy for the project of the left, which I don’t really share. For that reason, I liked to joke in the mid-80’s that I was the last person to join the Old Right.
"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus
Just look at Albania, which was the last Stalinist state, and the reception they gave President Bush over the weekend.
They’re attempting to turn “neocon” or neoconservative into an insult the same way we did to “liberal”, notice how no serious candidate running for president will identify themselves as liberal when they clearly are. They’re trying to make “neocon” one of those words that sound bad to people before they research what it really means, just a modern non isolationist conservative.
I’d a heck of a lot rather be a Neocon than a Neocom.....
Well, look at the upside. Should she follow that course, a lot of us here will be spared the indignity of cancer wards and heart attacks.
Neocom. That’s the fitting name for the Democrat party today. No more Conservative vs. Liberal. From now on it’s Neocon vc. Neocom... LOL.
The infamous Jonestown remains the perfect microcosm of all utopian socialist states.
