“There are quite a few terms I’ve been called that are FAR MORE colorful than ‘Neocon’, both regarding the Ukraine War and my support of Trump over Cruz early in the 2016 Primary season.:”
So have I!!!
But the term Neocon, shoe doesn’t fits— it is not one size fits all. But, it doesn’t STOP the name calling!
Similar complaint from those that don’t want to financially support Ukraine does not mean they support Putin. Or, those that support Ukraine doesn’t mean they don’t support U.S. border closing, or support LGBQ etc, or are Nazi’s!
Freepers are impassioned patriots. But, they strike out at each other, “You’re going to have the deaths of millions caused.”
The name calling is ridiculous: from homo-phob to Jezebel, to stupid, fool, globohomos, kindergarten level neo-cons, Idiot, morons, etc.
We all need to do better and be kinder
For what it’s worth, I’ve stopped calling fellow FReepers “Neocons”, although I admittedly still come close, by, for example, calling some “Neocon supporters”...which they are regarding Ukraine, whether they know it or not, and whether they like it or not.
