How To Finally Tell If You, Yourself Are a NEOCON
« on: January 17, 2017, 08:09:56 AM »
This one word ignites eternal flames among people who consider themselves a Conservative, but in reality their thoughts, actions, world views, suppositions, inclinations are actually not conservative at all.

The word used to describe them is commonly knows as neoconservative, or neocon in short.

Merriam Webster's definition

neoconservative

    1:  a former liberal espousing political conservatism

    2:  a conservative who advocates the assertive promotion of democracy and U.S. national interest in international affairs including through military means

Neocons, Warmongers, and Globalists Abandon GOP for Hillary

In the top echelons of political power, there is only one major party in American politics, and that is the globalist war party. In case Americans needed more evidence that party labels are largely meaningless to the bipartisan ruling establishment, influential members of the establishment wing of the GOP — neocons, warmongers, globalists, and so on — are abandoning the Republican Party and in many cases jumping on board the Democrat Hillary Clinton campaign. From Bush-era war hawks who misled Americans into war to pseudo-conservative operatives of the globalist-minded Council on Foreign Relations, Republicans In Name Only (RINOs) are showing their true colors and allegiances. Blasting Donald Trump, more than a few of the globalist RINOs and neocon warmongers are now proudly on the Hillary Train.

In a post-show discussion posted online, Fox News Channel's "Special Report" got heated when Kirsten Powers called out fellow panel regular Charles Krauthammer for being a pro-war neoconservative. Krauthammer denies it and Steve Hayes goes on the attack.

    CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER: If John McCain is a neo-con, then what could the word possibly mean? If John McCain and Dick Cheney, George Bush, Condoleeza Rice, Colin Powel, the sort-of four of them are the ones who led us to war in Iraq, are neo-cons, then explain to me what exactly a neo-con is.

    KIRSTEN POWERS: Charles, you know what a neo-con is. I mean, this is kind of silly--

    STEVE HAYES: It is not.

    KIRSTEN POWERS: You both know what a neo-con is and you both know neoconservatives--

    CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER: Can you define it?

    KIRSTEN POWERS: They're people who mostly used to be liberals, who became Republicans over foreign policy, they are more hawkish on foreign policy, Irving Kristol, [*Bill Kristol's father] is a neo-con. You're a neo-con, [Charles]. Why are you acting like we don't know-- like there are no neo-cons?

    Paul Wolfowitz is a neo-con--

    STEVE HAYES: Is Dick Cheney a neo-con?

    KIRSTEN POWERS: I don't think he was before he got in there-- The neo-cons did, were, it is just mind-boggling to me that you. Are you trying to suggest there was not a group of people that were articulating that we needed to attack Iraq and that they were not part of the neoconservative movement.

    BRET BAIER: No. But the definition of neo-con is what, someone who always wants to go to war?

    KIRSTEN POWERS: Somebody who, I think, is hawkish on foreign policy--

    BRET BAIER: Is Hillary Clinton a neo-con?

    KIRSTEN POWERS: Wait, wait, wait, guys, can I finish a sentence? It is somebody who I think is hawkish on foreign policy and who had a view --maybe the view has changed-- for a quite a period of time that we could spread Democracy. I think they were behind the 'Democracy-spreading' idea that George W. Bush endorsed, that we could remake the middle east through American power.

    It is something Obama has bought into, Hillary has bought into, but I think there is clearly a neo-consaervative movement. People at Commentary Magazine are neo-cons, I don't think that that is. To say they all want to go to war all the time I don't think that is right, but there is a neo-conservative movement that almost every time an issue comes up, the solution is for us to get involved militarily in some fashion, whether it is arming people or actually invading as in Iraq.

George H.W. Bush to vote for Hillary Clinton

A Kennedy outs a Bush who favors a Clinton.

Kristol Lays Out Strategy to Give White House to Hillary: Trump ‘Shouldn’t Win’



In order to defeat Donald Trump,  The Weekly Standard’s Bill Kristol admits he is prepared to hand Hillary Clinton the Oval Office. On Wednesday’s “Morning Joe,” the Republican Establishment leader laid out his plot to deprive Trump of the 50% of delegates necessary to secure the nomination. From there, the idea is to go into a brokered convention and cut a kamikaze deal that awards enough delegates to an “acceptable” candidate (who will have won far fewer votes, states, and delegates than Trump).

Bill Kristol: I Would Rather See Hillary Win Than Trump

Donald Trump would make "a terrible nominee and a terrible president" — and The Weekly Standard Editor Bill Kristol said Wednesday that he would rather have Hillary Clinton in the White House than the Republican front-runner.
