They joined the republican party because the democrats hate the military...

Totally agree if you change the word "democracy" with statism.

Close, but they weren’t exactly moderates. The older ones admit to having been fans of Trotsky in their youth.

Neocon = globalist, anti-constitutionalist that wants to use military force to remake the world to their liking. Big government and big spending are fine with neocons. UnConstitutional laws are fine with neocons. See Bush 1, Bush 2 and McCain for examples of neocons.

There is very little difference between a Rat and a neocon.
