A huge reason why there's this rift on the Right that didn't exist a year ago is because Neocons are not team players.
They operate as political parasites, using our candidates and elected officials for their own ends without ever reciprocating anything in return.
This isn't how stable political coalitions work. The entire point is that you join forces with people you may not agree with 100% of the time, but you still fight for their priorities so they will fight for yours.
But Neocons like to pretend they're above all of that. They're a single-issue constituency. They will bounce between the Populist Right and Establishment Left so long as they get what they want.
Case in point, many Neocons bitterly opposed Trump all three times he ran for office, and yet the moment the US began bombing Iran and delivering on the crown jewel that many of them had been working towards for over 25 years, did they turn around and repay the favor by supporting anything that Trump's base voted for?
Of course not. The SAVE Act is still languishing in the Senate despite 100% of the GOP and 80% of the public wanting it to pass. Meanwhile, Neocons in Congress are signing on to a mass amnesty for criminal aliens bill and calling it "Dignity", despite stricter immigration arguably being THE signautre issue that Trump campaigned on and his base voted for three times in a row.
The lesson here is simple. You cannot ally yourself with Neocons. Ever. They do not understand or care about the concept of political loyalty. They're bad actors who only care about permanent regime change wars abroad and will backstab you at home the moment you give them what they want.
Working with Neocons is like "uniting with the Left".
“long past time to declare our neutrality in the Mideast, no longer supporting any nation in the region.”
Many bloodthirsty folks around here cannot handle that.
Meanwhile they wave their Bible at us.
:-(
No. The same tune.
And when elected conservatives don't support their real agenda, the neocons jump ship and vote for Democrats. Bill Kristol and his team at "Bulwark" are poster-children of the syndrome.
They seem to have a big fanbase on this site, you can always identify them as those who cry "anti-Semite" and "Jew hater" towards anyone who criticizes neoconservatism.
Are you Russian, Chinese, North Korean or Iranian Shiite? They are certainly OUR enemy, meaning of the US, and anyone denying that are either allied with the enemy or as dense as a brick wall.
Again, our enemy?
As I posted, we (the United States) still does business with Russia and China. Our economy is running on production from China. In what way does that make them enemies?
We do business with North Korea through China with a nod and a wink.
Iran had been shipping oil without problem to our allies. That makes them an enemy? Our allies would still buy oil from them if not for our sanctions.
...anyone denying that are either allied with the enemy or as dense as a brick wall.
Dense as a brick wall? More like transparent glass.
