Cowbirds lay their eggs in the nests of other species. They are brood parasites.
The cowbird egg hatches first, and being larger the cowbird hatchling pushes the smaller true young of the parent bird out of the nest.
Neoconservatives are the Cowbirds of the conservative movement.
The first generation were self admitted fans of Leon Trotsky, one time commander of the Red Army. They eventually abandoned the glories of international socialism for a more easily digested global liberal democracy and joined the Democratic Party
When the Democratic Party started turning inward in the McGovern and Carter years they became dissatisfied, and decided to cast their lot with the Republicans and Ronald Reagan. They may not have liked Reagan or traditional conservatives, but they did like a tough foreign policy and thought that they could turn that to their own uses.
Like Cowbirds, once they were welcomed into the conservative nest they began shoving the actual heirs of conservatism out of the nest.
The chubby Jonah with his beard reminiscent of Trotsky and his comrades is just being true to his neoconservative bonafides.
He’s unhappy now because too many people have figured him out, as they have his comrade Bill Kristol.
Boy needs to lay off the carbs. I remember when he war jest a skinny little sprout - Trixie's little feller.
BTTT
WOW!!!!
Best explanation of them I’ve ever seen!
May I use the cowbird analogy?
THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That is a really good comparison. Why the Republican Party allowed these people to leach off of them for so long is beyond me.
Goldberg is a disheveled failure. He seriously looks like he's turned to substances, babbling and sweaty.
Like the Weekly Standard, Nat Review is done... memo going out shortly.
