I may not always agree with the neocons, whoever they are, and whatever that means, but I understand their sentiments: The hegemony of the US throughout the world is a good thing. The fluff from Frumesque fruitcakes wanting to liberalize conservatism, the RINOcons, is beyond understanding. The RINOcons are the Republicans who gave us McCain, and caused the Neocons to defend him, while they slipped off and voted for 0. At least that’s how I see it this morning, so far.
Keep in mind that senior neocons were Trotskyites who departed the Reds when Stalin executed their hero.
Many oldtime Pubbies saw punkneos surveiling victorious Republicans (then-enjoying a generation of wins allover the US and DC, thanks to so/cons).
Savvy Pubbies predicted the punks would kick conservatives to the curb, and squat in our party, as the way to pursue their hidden agenda.
