“Neo-Conservative”
normally, liberal/left-libertarian pejorative code for “Jew” or “Jew-lover(s)”

That is the second time I have noticed your use of the term, this ‘go-round’ applied more broadly and generally to the entirety of this website and therefore ostensibly, to the majority of those members who frequent and post here.

Some “neo-cons” are self-defined as such, and let them be who they are, as they are.

This site is NOT by/of/for a list of political positions which constitute a checklist of neocon beliefs, and you make such a judgment at risk of marginalizing yourself and making any/all of your future postings inherently suspect.

Here at FR, most of us support Israel in general terms. Not as an unqualified, they-can-do-no-wrong kind of blanket acceptance of any/all political/military choices Israel exercises, but simply as opposed, for example, to the broad, pan-arab muslim camp which ludicrously ascribes the palestinian problem and all other mid-east problems to Israel and her doings.

Simply put: the muzzies will not be “happy” until/unless Israel as a state no longer exists, and that, because thay have succeeded in murdering most or all of the Jewish people.

You have some stones on you essentially taunting longtime FReepers and baiting so many by calling FR a “NeoCon” site...

Which is neither a wise, nor recommended course of action. Also not factually accurate, personally tolerant, or generally defensible.

In general, FReepers are (by simple majority) Christian (but quite tolerant of Judaism), pro life, pro American military, supportive of the War On Terror, fiscally conservative, in favor of significantly more limited gov’t - both legal powers and spending habits, and morally conservative (anti gay marriage and not supportive of “same-sex” unions or state-provided benefits for same sex partners.

We may or may not be split on the finer points of “nation building” and how it is defined and who gets to define it...We may also be at odds periodically over how to define and determine when US military intervention/action is required or wise, but we do not differ muc on the notion of how we should give an account of ourselves when we fight.

When we choose to go to battle, the objective is to win by overwhelming conquering, subjugating - our enemy. It is in order to either destroy them, or to inflict so much damage and so many casualties on them that we extract their unconditional surrender.

We loathe politicians who dither about and/or politicize what should be, decision-making by military commanders only.

We love our guns and how well they serve to protect our Constitution - our right to speak freely, to assemble together, and to worship as we choose - to possess life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

If you want to call those principles “NeoCon” then I pity you. Your stay on FR will be both short and uncomfortable
