Neocons are easy to spot: They have an obsessive hatred of Russia and China. They supported the Arab Spring. They want to fight Syria and Iran. They demand American-style democracy in all countries and complain if anti-American parties get elected. They believe there’s a simple solution to fix all foreign policy problems and if not, USA must go to war against countries that disagree with them. Guess what, that’s Bush and it’s also Obama.
If I had a nickel for every time someone MISUSED the word “neocon” as you have, I’d be rich.
“Neocon” — for those who obviously have not studied Greek/Latin root words — simply means NEWLY conservative — in this particular case - conservatives WHO HAD ONCE BEEN LIBERALS. If a person was NEVER a “liberal” a la Buckley, they should NEVER be called a “neocon.” Please remember this and stop spreading ignorance.
An example of a true “neocon” would be Krauthammer.
It’s not just foreign policy.
You can take Lindsey Graham’s political position on just about anything controversial that is domestic as well, and understand that to be the political position of the compromised.
Kinda tough, without the Star of David pinned to their clothing...
Correct....except that NeoCons are pro-Communist China...they are the ones pushing Free Trade and shipping American jobs/wealth to them. Real Conservatives do not support Communist China...only NeoCons do
