Neocon.

There’s a word that has been gerrymandered into a meaningless pejorative. Just like “far right-wing,” “assault weapon,” and “non-sustainable.”

Well, you’re right in that there’s nothing “Neo-” about it at all.

Everyone knows what it means.

Less being policeman of the world...

What rankles me is the special interests (if you prefer that term) CONTROL the media and they call those with the classical position unpatriotic even when they quote Jefferson!

Unbelievable it is.

Look at how Ron/Rand Paul are treated for a good example.

To me it has always described liberal republicans who wanted Israel protected and an aggressive foreign policy but despised the conservatives and conservatism and were always telling them that their Christianity and social conservatism was holding back the party and losing elections.

Neocon is the perfect word for these conservative posers who want to continue baby sitting the entire planet at our expense.

What did all that get America? Homeless everywhere, trillions in debt, foreign policies that are looting what is left of the American treasure, wide open lawless borders etc...

The last several wars we won NOTHING but death and debt.

Enough!
