At one time I thought Bush was pretty good, but as time passes, I have lost more and more respect for him.
He went eight years and said nothing bad about Obama, but could not wait to begin criticizing Trump.
I took a dislike to "Red State" when I first heard of it because it accepted the liberal propaganda of coloring us "red" and incorporated it into it's name. Then Erick Erickson immediately started mocking anyone who challenged Obama's eligibility for office, and he only became increasingly more arrogant and offensive ever since.
I don't know why the admin wouldn't let you post from it, but I often don't understand some of the decisions made by admin.
As for the term "neocon", I've heard it used as a disparagement many times, but I never really got the rational behind it. I know a lot of people insinuate something with it and I wish they would knock it off, because the actions of the "neocons" in supporting the invasion of Iraq were in my opinion, in the best interests of the United States, and whether they benefited anyone else is immaterial to the main point that they benefited us, the US.
If it helped an ally, then so far as i'm concerned, that was a "win/win!" If taking action against potential threats to our country is "neocon", then i'm a neocon too.
Just my two cents.
NeoCons aka RINOs aka Leftists; historically, Democrats strong on military intervention for ideological 'humanitarian' reasons aka compassionate Conservatism. NeoCons 'feel' it's okay to impose a 'good' ideology aka nation build...
