Bogus argument. There is no solid definition of a neocon. Sometimes its the joooooos (Kristol, Pearl) who promoted war against the arabs, sometimes it’s Bush his blueblood old republican lineage. Sometimes its Cheney and Rummy, who have been center-right republicans since time began, sometimes its the young whipper-snappers like Rich Lowery and Laura Ingraham who grew up as Reagan brats. It’s whatever fits the author’s attempt to demonize who they don’t like.

You are the one who is attempting to confuse the issue. The author clearly identified the founders, and several of us have mentioned the same individuals as the leading figures in it today. As I mentioned the Weekly Standard is the NeoCon journal.

As I explained in my previous posting NeoCon is no longer a little side movement of Conservatism, it's the main stream. The old-school Conservatives are the odd remnant, and not taken seriously.

No one except you brought up "the Jews". It is a silly attempt to attach a bogus charge of anti-semitism to those of us who are critical of aspects of neo-conservatism. Many prominant critics of Neo-Conservatism are also Jews.

Stop stirring the pot to create confusion and address the article, please.

You need to do a little more research. Even Wikipedia has a solid definition of Neocon. Look it up.

Then there are the PaleoCons - Libertarians who vote for the Third Party wackOs which elects Liberal Democrats

1992

Clinton 43%
G.HW Bush 37%
Perot 19%

Third Party also gave us Carter.

The PaleoCons - Paulites, etc are stocking horses for the Left as that is who wins when they divide voters.
