Hey, they don’t care. The crowd that uses the term “neo-con” as a pejorative would stick you on a boxcar bound for the death camps without taking all that good a look.
Seems to me that whoever came up with “neo-con”
for whatever reason . . .
the current state of the term is that . . . like “Republican,”
“patriotic”
“infanticide,” “abortion,” “choice,”
etc. etc. etc.
the globalist oligarchy controlled MSM have insured that “neo-con” either serves their purposes or has been so mangled and twisted as to have lost all usefulness as a sensible consistent term.
