Trump’s closest advisors are businessmen.

I’ll take Trump.

Freerepublic is Populist, Nationalist and now anti-semitic. Unreal.

At least we know who they are.

Two who worked for the CIA? Snowden is a traitor?

Going back into Iraq? Defending the Nation...

Afraid of gov’t growth? Won’t they be doing the jobs allocated through the filter of the POTUS?

Rein in Washington...

Working in the Directorate of Operations, Central Intelligence Agency (1990, 1991 – 1993) is NOT CIA Director. When practically the first thing in the story is wrong, it makes one wonder what else is false.

Seems they are all suspected of being Israeli spies, manipulating the US President into bending over for Israel.

Exactly, Why don’t the Trump supporters just come out of the closet and start slandering Jews? Stop speaking code Trumpettes. Lets hear about the NWO and please post some InfoWars stuff. Should be entertaining. Just come up out of your bomb shelters, stop being politically correct and tell us what we know you’re thinking.

"He should be prosecuted for treason. If convicted by a jury of his peers, he should be hanged by his neck until he is dead."

That's not just think-tank rhetoric, that's reign-of-terror-type talk.

Weird perspective this author has -- that punishing treason under existing law and through due process somehow equates to the unlawful and ad hoc processes of the Reign of Terror.

How can this guy be anything but a neocon given the Goldman Sachs connection?

Elliot the liar Abrams... His lie about Newt, that he got Rush to read on Rush’s show, Thursday before the Florida primary is why I will no longer listen to Rush. No wonder Cruz thinks lying is perfectly acceptable...

Some of the other names have been amazingly silent over these past 7 years...

Con men are cons no matter how they dress.

Owned by banksters, crony capitalists and other globalists. It's in his past, it's in his wife's past---her entire employment career as Washington Bureaucrat and Senior Goldman Sachs executive. The poseur Cruz now is an act, something Cruz is good at: acting (remember his recitation, in character, of movie soliloquies?) Open borders, amnesty, 500,000 MORE H1-B visas (and that's just for now---these are the high paying American jobs), support for more trade agreements like the ones that got us in this position (agreements which make US exports impossible due to tariffs, and which open our borders freely to the exports of other countries with no tariffs.)

All I ask is that people remember the promises of the Republicans---EVERY ONE OF THEM---who ran for, and won, election in 2012: they promised that if given the Senate majority they would repeal Obamacare, seal the borders, override Obama executive actions, reduce spending, cut the deficit, and on and on. And EVERY PROMISE WAS A LIE. And Cruz was right in there with them. He lied. They all lied. Fire them all, don't promote them. Treat failed politicians like you'd treat failed employees if you owned a business. Get rid of them, all of them, hire a completely new team.

Don't forget Cruz's acting job on the Gang of 8 bill testimony and the so-called poison pills.

I don’t think “new ideas” means “outsider” or “no resume.”

I think it is hard to have new ideas without a solid grounding in the old ideas. This reminds me of Keynes observation that “practical men” often followed the ideas of long-dead and discredited economists.

Mr Single Payor 2000, trump has Reid n pelosi... the deal maker. Scared of a girl who might treat him unfair.. hiding g behind veterans, throwing a rock party. Not just no.

1: Mr Single Payor (sic) 2000     2000 was nearly a generation and and Trump's position is not single payer for everyone.

2: trump has Reid n pelosi... the deal maker     This is incoherent, but remember: without a deal (in government) nothing gets done. You're probably gun-shy because of the loser deals the GOPe makes.

3. Scared of a girl who might treat him unfair..     Nice try.

4. hiding behind veterans, throwing a rock party.     You didn't see it, did you?

I used to think I knew what neocon meant, even so far as to think I was one.
If I was, the Iraq debacle disabused me of the notion that western civ can be
exported with anything less than totally subjugating the intended recipient.

Other banners festooning the neocon guidon seem to come and go depending
on who is insulting whom. As you say, it's mostly useless now as a term of art.

I meant Republican lies in *2014*, but heck, it applies to every election cycle that most people remember. Promise one thing, do another.

Cruz/Ryan/McConnell/Goldman Sachs. Vote 'em out.

Love your tagline! I saw a YouTube vid when Cankles ran in ‘08:

Springtime for liberals and Hillary,
Go hug a stem cell today!
Death row must go away it’s cruel,
That is unless you pray in school.

Hmmm...Didn't Trump retweet several anti-semitic Twitterers?

Donald Trump just promoted a Nazi Twitter account that showed him gassing Bernie Sanders

I beg your pardon. I am very pro-Israel and I support Trump. I do not support the NWO and have no idea where you got that idea. Oh, I do not have a bomb shelter although that might not be a bad idea when a tornado is headed our way. I have seen first hand what those things can do. Vote Trump.

Not only that, my politically conservative Jewish relatives consider the term neocon synonymous with “dirty Jew.” They are either dirty for not stepping in line with the Democrat mantra (when being accused by Dems), or dirty for being too conservative (when being accused by Reps). Perhaps our Jewish FReepers could chime in. This is simply an anecdote from personal experience.

Dirty Jew is correct. "Globalist" and "rootless cosmopolitan" have more less the same roots. Whenever I use the term neocon, I always explain what I mean - namely that some people, out of naivete, believe that inside every foreigner is an American struggling to get out - that we must therefore, in Kennedy's words pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to liberate them. But for most people who use term, they mean "dirty Jew war profiteer".
