Okay, sir, you prefer Putin to the so-called neo-cons, who seem like patriots who prefer American conservatism as it’s been historically understood to misguided, muddle-minded, dumbed-down, idologically pro-Putin conservatism. I hope he doesn’t break your heart too much.
NeoConservatism is a failed foreign policy doctrine.
Then you say these NeoCons "seem like patriots who prefer American conservatism as it has been historically understood"
The problem with that is a lot of conservatives and freepers are always complaining because the NeoCons support amnesty, gay rights and reproductive rights for women. Some complain because they are "big government" conservatives.
