Conservatives for Clinton? There's no such animal; neocons show their true colors

For some years now I have been endeavoring to instruct my readers on the difference between conservatives and "neo" conservatives. (If you remain confused please read this simple description.)

I have Donald Trump to thank for making that distinction quite clear.

The emergence of Trump as the presumptive nominee of the Republican Party has sent the neocons into a frenzy. Meanwhile we genuine conservatives consider him a huge improvement over the prior Republican presidential nominee.

Neocons have been a cancer on the conservative movement.

At the City College of New Yorkin the 1930s, if you were Jewish you were a communist. The communists fell into one of two camps:

Stalinites (national communism), and Trotskyites (international communism)

Irving Kristol (Bill Kristol's dad) was the leader of the Trotskyites. Over the years the Trotskyites became disillusioned with Russia (not Globalist enough) and became what is today called Neo-Conservatives, or neocons.

Bill Kristol was raised a communist and I doubt very much he believes in limited government or even democracy and popular vote.

Any Republican who even thinks about voting for Hillary should be boiled in oil. Figuratively, of course.

The neocon ex commies just want to the USA to do to the world what they wanted the USSR under Trotsky to do to the world - a globalist one world entity but under the USA’s benevolent imperial leadership.

Some Of Wall Street’s Top Republican Supporters Are Now Backing Hillary Clinton

by Lucinda Shen

May 9, 2016, 10:52 AM EDT

Even some who once supported Trump.

Instead of shifting their focus to presumptive Republican presidential nominee, Donald Trump, some Wall Streeters who once backed the GOP are now giving money to Hillary Clinton.

According to the Wall Street Journal, the Democratic frontrunner has raised more contributions from executives in the financial services industry than all other candidates combined. That’s about $4.2 million in this election cycle.

She’s even gained donations from Wall Streeters whose first pick in Republican candidates, including former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, have exited the race. Some of the donors have been lifelong Republicans, or even once backed Trump. More than 500 contributors who gave more than $200 to Republican candidates earlier in this election cycle, are now giving money to Clinton rather than the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, according to political research group, Crowdpac.

They are actually neo-con artists, who invaded the republican party like a plague, migrating from the democrat party in the 1980’s. The only “conservative value” they push is never ending wars in the Middle East.

When we had the Cold War the neocon agenda matched the conservative agenda. When the cold war ended the neocons tried to jack the system to have perpetual wars to build a pax americana.

Definition: “Neocons” - ‘60’s trotskyites co-opted by Nazi globalist financier oligarchy attempting to maneuver NATO into starting WWIII so they can recreate a Dark Age regime of global fascist warlordism because it’s the only way they can stop the revelations of their planet disruptive crimes in a technological Age of Info.

My personal definition among the protean descriptions of neo-conservatism is that the US should actively export democracy to countries that don’t already have it, in the belief that the peak of Maslow’s pyramid is self-actualization. While is sounds noble enough, Islam proves that not all cultures aspire to individual freedom as we think we have and it is a waste of lives and treasure to force it on them.

I didn’t see a “simple description”. I saw paragraphs of ramblings. A simple description is a mere one sentence; please see a dictionary for examples.

Why don’t you direct your comment to the author. You do know I am not the author, right? It was perfectly clear to me though.....
