RE “How do we know neo-cons aren’t really conservatives? Conservatives are realists. They confront reality without ideological blinders. They do their best to perceive the world as it is, not as they wish it was. Neo-cons think democracy is the magic elixir — good for what ails the downtrodden, regardless of their benightedness and barbarism. The neo-cons’ touching faith in the universalism of democratic longings is like the liberals’ faith in economic interventionism.”

Neocon ping!

I find this split of foriegn policy interesting..the Glenn Becks vs the Bill Kristols. Kristol is taking the MSNBC position of Matthews and Maddow on this. He believes supporting the revolutions (against dictators loyal to us) will make them like us, On the otherhand Beck believes there are certain people (having dangerous world views) that it is not in the rest of the World's best interest that they vote. He also points out that both the Marxists and the unions are promoting this uprising, no-one I would march with.

Post Bush-Cheney Republican split on Muslim uprisings.

Maybe Obama/Bernake are leading their revolution by starving them with high food and energy prices via QE1,2+3, without firing a shot LOL. (Warning :This might not work on Iran!)

TIDBIT I once had a conversation with a neo-con. I laughed so hard, my stomach hurt.

REFERENCE The Neocons’ Egypt Dilemma Why are the pukeneos, who criticized Obama’s 2009 failure to support pro-democracy forces in Iran, now advocating going slow in Egypt?

On the surface, the situation in Egypt seems tailor-made for knee-jerk neocon approval: a Mideast country (smackdab in the neo-neighborhood) that is chafing under the rule of a repressive and entrenched leader, its people eager for more democracy, and protesting in the streets on their own behalf.

THOSE WHO KNOW THE SELF-SERVING WAYS OF THE NEOCON, KNOW THE ANSWER As is their wont, Me-First Neocons are in a spin----striving to keep the money flowing, so that war profiteer Dickie Perle's Mideast oil company plans come to fruition. Probably Mubarak is in on the deal.
