It shouldn’t be forgotten that the neo-cons are leftists who moved from the democrat party when it started getting more anti-war. They moved to the republican party, claiming to be “conservatives” but they support everything that most conservatives oppose, such as: gay marriage, open borders, affirmative action, abortion, gun control, political correctness. They’ve never seen a Middle East war they didn’t want to see Americans die in, yet any time neo-cons come under any kind of scrutiny at all, conservatives rally to their defense, usually with shouts of “anti-Semitism”.
Now that I have my asbestos suit on, let me say this.
I am 100% a supporter of Israel. That land belongs to the Jews and has for 1000’s of years. They have the right to live there on that tiny sliver of land in peace and freedom. I am fully supportive of aiding them in their defense against the monsters that want to exterminate them.
With that said, it’s getting more and more difficult to not despise the Jews in America for their Leftist politics, political influence and the neocons are at the top of the list.
Kristol, Krauthammer and Podhoretz to name just a few are always ready to get America involved in war in the middle east. As it was mentioned above, they were all former democrats who left the party because of the dem’s shift to an anti-war stance.
They left the dem party because they had no influence in their pro-war stance, not because they became conservative.
Like I said, I love Israel, but American Jews, I can do without.
