I was a liberal at one point in my life, but left after Carter. It didn't take long after believing all the media lies and spin (it wasn't called that back then) for me to realize that Carter and I had ABSOLUTELY nothing in common. I'm with the Gipper, through and through, and have been since voting for him in 1980.
Thanks again to both of you, and others, for clarifying the term, "neocon."
You're very welcome!
It is a very important point to understand who they are and what is their agenda.
We can't win if we are fighting the wrong enemy.
It is funny that you mentioned your conversion at the time of Jimmy Carter. That was about when I started paying attention to what politicians were saying. I remember thinking; Jimmy Carter is promising everybody something, so he can't possibly be telling the truth, because it is utterly impossible for him to make good on all those promises.
BTW: I have been an ardent student of politics for about 17 years now. I read lots and have learned lots.
