With Elon’s Twitter Takeover Bid, Neocons Finally Found An Invasion They Can Oppose
The Federalist ^ | 4/14/22 | KYLEE ZEMPEL

Posted on 04/14/2022 2:07:09 PM PDT by JonPreston

Along with the news that mega-billionaire Elon Musk had made an offer to buy Twitter in full came the predictable screams from leftists and others who can’t bear the thought of a free-speech champion owning their No. 1 means of censoring political opponents (even after tut-tutting for years that private companies can do whatever they want).

Included in that group are the warmongers of the word, the chief of them being Washington Post opinion columnist and neocon Max Boot who wants you to please stop using that term. It seems like just yesterday that Boot was fist-pumping forever wars, supporting the deadly war in Libya, pushing for the United States to invade and occupy Iraq, and covering for President Biden calling for regime change in Russia.

I see it the other way around. Neocons do not want the US at war when it does not involve the US and Neocons want free unsensored speech

That asshole has no respect for freedom. His idea of democracy is simply mob rule.

It was owned and run by one billionaire who was a leftist godless freak. He used it to ban all speech he did not like that held opposing views or criticized his views. Seems like NONE of the MEDIA or Democrats or Neocons had a single complaint about it, even when the POTUS was banned. -Even to this f’ing day.

In comes another Billionaire, who seems to be a godless leftist, but he’s all for freedom of speech and thought. They have a problem with this. A big problem.
