Why Neo-Conservatives Love Lieberman

[Moby Grape]

Pat is a neo-dumbass.

[coconutt2000]

I think now days it is someone who would not vote for PJB

That's like everybody and their grandmother.

[Jameison]

"Joe, why are you doing this?"


Funny.
I don't remember the lunatic Pat Buchanan asking Jim Jeffords that question when he switched.
And Jefferds switced AFTER he'd been voted in by Republicans.

I'm willing to bet that there are a lot more neo-cons (like me, but non-Jewish) than there are neo-libs. Something about getting older and maturing.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

That was my point :)

The word Neo-Con has undergone a transformation something like the word "Liberal".

Neo-Con just used to mean someone who was not a generational Republican. Ronald Reagen was a Neo-Con because he used to be a democrat. As time went by the blue blooded Republicans became alarmed at the influx and did their best to keep these new conservatives out of anything that resembled policy making or party power. As they put it "We may be glad to see the town whore come to church but we will never let her lead the service."

Things went down hill from there.

[Jameison]

"Somebody needs to take Pat's pen away from him."

Somebody needs to put him in a straitjacket, put him in a small room with padded walls, and give him Hitler's "Mein Kampf" to read. He'd be surprised at the similarities between him and Hitler. Hint: It'd have something to do with Jooo hating.

[Darkwolf377]

his independent campaign is simply about Joe's unwillingness to accept the verdict of his party and give up his cherished Senate seat.

Well, he learned something from running with Gore--never give up, even if it hurts The Party or The Country.

Pat just enjoys an opportunity to bash a Jew in public.

[UnbelievingScumOnTheOtherSide]

I PREDICT that by 2008 Lieberman will be running a major third party with a mix of issues that will attract many defense Democrats and otherwise RINO Republicans and Libertarians for the long term. Or he'll be dead.

"retro-lib"

I love it. Smart magazines and bloggers will pick it up. The Cindy Sheehan/Michael Moore branch of politics. Chicago68 socialists.

[Stepan12]

I know what Pat's definition means.

Neocon is the new [k word]. The insulting [k word] developed as a joke from the yiddish word kiekel, which means circle in yiddish. The recently arrived Jewish immigrants to this country jokingly used to refer to themselves as a circle (kiekel). This was later shortened to the [k word]. Blame it on neo

[capitalist229]

Social issues must take a backseat to security.

We are fast approaching an inflection point with Iran and the 'Chamberlains' must not be allowed to prevail.

BUMP

[Stepan12]

Wikipedia has a good entry on neoconservatives. You should read about it before you take it as an insult. Just because Pat and the Democrats like to spit it at people with didain, doesn't mean others should take it that way.

Pat doesn't use the word neoconservative; he uses the anti word, neocon. And I explained in my earlier post what he means by it.

[Stepan12]

Correction, Pat doesn't use the word neo conservative that much. His basic terminology is neo con and his paleo conservative friends use it too.

[Roy Tucker]

How far the man has fallen.

[Alberta's Child]

Love him or hate him, there's no question Mr. Buchanan has raised some very relevant, interesting points here (highlights are mine) . . .

In a lead editorial, the Weekly Standard called on Bush to fire Rumsfeld and make Joe Lieberman secretary of defense.

. . . Rhapsodizes editor William Kristol, "Is it too fanciful to speculate about a 2008 ticket of McCain-Lieberman, or Guiliani-Lieberman ... ?"

In short, the Weekly Standard wishes to see, on a Republican ticket and a heartbeat away from the presidency, a proud liberal Democrat who supports partial-birth abortion, embryonic stem-cell research, gay rights, affirmative action, reparations for slavery, gun control, higher taxes on the top 2%, distribution of condoms in public schools and driver's licenses for illegal aliens.

I'm very interested to know what the hell their agenda is over at the Weekly Standard.

Like I said -- love him or hate him . . .

[JCEccles]

Buchanan is this war's Charles Lindbergh, wasting no opportunity to persuade his fellow Americans to capitulate to the most unspeakable evil abjectly and early.

[ktvaughn]

Um. OK. I wasn't aware there was an "anti" word. Whatever.

[Stepan12]

Um. OK. I wasn't aware there was an "anti" word. Whatever.

I would think a word is used to describe something. An anti word is used to conceal one's meaning and in this case it's the Joos or the nefarious Joos.

[Vaquero]

Charles Lindbergh was against foreign entanglements, BEFORE the war started. Once the war started he tried to join up to fight the war but LEFTY ROOSEVELT would not let him join.

He went to work for Lockheed to work on the P38 and went to the pacific to train pilots. During his time there he shot down at least 1 Jap Zero. When news of this got out he had to leave the south pacific as he was a non combatant shooting down enemy combatants and that was a no no.

[palmer]

Yeah, PB is right on this one. The only time Lieberman has any semblance of conservatism is when he is supporting home state business interests (e.g. WOT, his meager defense of gun makers amidst otherwise terrible 2-A record, etc).
