"By far the most numerous and most flagrant violations of personal liberty and individual rights are performed by governments ... The major crimes throughout history, the ones executed on the largest scale, have been committed not by individuals or bands of individuals but by governments, as a deliberate policy of those governments ...that is, by the official representatives of governments, acting in their official capacity."
-- John Hospers Warning: NeoCon Palin’s Tea Party Takeover Will Facilitate Obama Re-election In an urgent message on the systematic betrayal of the tea party, How Neo-Cons, Neo-Nazis And Neo-McVeighs Crashed Ron Paul’s Tea Party The Tea Party, which started off as a Libertarian protest against taxes and government, has turned into a right wing, corporate sponsored, racist hate-fest. Three groups have joined the Libertarian founders of the Tea Party movement to add money, racism, hatred and conspiracy theory based paranoia to the Tea Pot. Neo-Cons (Neo-Conservatives) Republican insiders responsible for Reagan and both Bush Administrations. the tea party and the neocons How the Neocons Are Co-opting the Tea Party Scott McConnell, Right Web, Nov 9 2010 Co-opted Tea Party Event Incorporates Free Speech Zones by Kurt Nimmo Militant Libertarian April 27th, 2010 ![]() Urban Dictionary Neocon Neoconservative. Criminally insane spenders that believe in killing brown people for the new world order. Huge Orwellian government, unfathomable amounts of spending, bomb tens of thousands of people to death to rearrange the globe. Take the worst aspects of the liberal and conservative positions and combine them into one and you would have a NeoCon. Neocons are the greatest threat to life, liberty and property this country has ever known. Morally idealistic conservatatives. neocon is short for neo-conservative. Neocons separate themselves from Republicans that are traditionally fiscal conservative. Slang - Crusading republican. Slang - Neocons exist separated into two very distinct groups. The largest, group one, are the people below the 99th income percentile. They are religous and/or war-mongering blowhard lemmings who follow the second group; The second group is made up of the top one percent. They cut taxes for themselves, borrow trillions (second term pending), and their behavior is largely the subject of this blog. Of necessity, they pay Rove to pipe tabloid for the Rats. Lemmings rather. Whichever, they both work. Vlugar - White bible thumping trash. The draft-dodging neocons running the white house are threatening our future as a great nation. Someone whose political views represent the worst of both worlds: fiscally liberal, socially conservative. Bush is a neocon because he supports racking up a huge deficit while dictating people's personal lives. 5. neocon 1. Small group of politicians coming from as early as the Ford administration up to the Bush II administration. 2. Have a fake pretense about believing in smaller government. In reality believe in big spending and tax cuts for their wealthy political and business friends, hence deficit spending. 3. They fake being social conservatives, although true social conservatives believe they really care about social issues. Neocons distract the public by acting like they really care about social issues like gay marriage, abortion, and flag burning. Meanwhile they are busy conducting wars and stifling your freedom. 4. Believe in costly wars and creating boogeymen to try and make you think only they can keep you safe while they restrict your freedoms to "protect you". This is their signature issue, to help keep them in power. 5. Actually despise any types of small government advocates, Barry Goldwater, traditional live and let live conservative, and libertarians. George Bush I and II, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz, Richard Perle, are all a bunch of neocons. Quite possibly one of the lowest forms of life around. A collection of no good, low life, lying, rotten, four flushing, inbred sacks of wind and horseshit. Another word for neo-Nazi. Neocons are neo-Nazis in pinstripe suits. ![]() The Republican Neocon Consensus Has Collapsed neoconwatch July 30, 2011 The Corporate Muzzle Trolls of Fascism It now seems clear that 'tea party' movement types, organized by highly-funded corporate backed outfits like "Freedom Works" are putting together a plan to disrupt and shut down as many town hall events as possible. That's entirely different from making sure you've got a lot of activists at events with t-shirts or protesting with pickets outside the venue or making sure one of your activists gets to ask a question. This amounts to a sort of civic vigilanteism. US Supreme Court crushes campaign finance restrictions Two Faced Tax Paid Wasted Potential The Authoritarians (HTML version) "All propaganda must be so popular and on such an intellectual level, that even the most stupid of those towards whom it is directed will understand it. Therefore, the intellectual level of the propaganda must be lower the larger the number of people who are to be influenced by it." ~ Benito Mussolini Constitutional GOPerversions & Their Pathetic Apologists The solution is simple.

The movement emerged during the early 1970s among Democrats who disagreed with the party's growing opposition to the Vietnam War and had become skeptical of the Great Society's welfare programs. Although neoconservatives generally endorse free-market economics, they often believe cultural and moral issues to be more significant, and so have tended to be less thoroughgoing in opposition to government intervention in society than more traditionally conservative and libertarian members of the Republican Party. Many neoconservatives support the wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Libya. Neoconservatives rejected the counterculture of the 1960s New Left, and what they saw as anti-Americanism in the non-interventionism of the movement against the Vietnam War. When the anti-war element took control of the party in 1972 and nominated George McGovern, the democrats among them followed the lead of Washington Senator Henry Jackson and revolted. Historian Justin Vaïsse calls this the "Second Age" of Neoconservatism, with its emphasis on the Cold War. Many supported Democratic senator Henry M. "Scoop" Jackson in his unsuccessful 1972 and 1976 campaigns for president. Among those who worked for Jackson were future neoconservatives Paul Wolfowitz, Doug Feith, and Richard Perle. In the late 1970s neoconservative support moved to Ronald Reagan the Republican hawk who promised to confront Soviet expansionism. Neoconservatism... originated in the 1970s as a movement of anti-Soviet liberals and social democrats in the tradition of Truman, Kennedy, Johnson, Humphrey and Henry ('Scoop') Jackson, many of whom preferred to call themselves 'paleoliberals.' [After the end of the Cold War]... many 'paleoliberals' drifted back to the Democratic center... Today's neocons are a shrunken remnant of the original broad neocon coalition. Nevertheless, the origins of their ideology on the left are still apparent. Practice to Deceive Chaos in the Middle East is not the Bush hawks' nightmare scenario--it's their plan. ![]() The fact that most of the younger neocons were never on the left is irrelevant; they are the intellectual (and, in the case of William Kristol and John Podhoretz, the literal) heirs of older ex-leftists. Michael Lind, a self-described former neoconservative, wrote: During the 1990s, neoconservatives were once again in the opposition side of the foreign policy establishment, both under the Republican Administration of President George H. W. Bush and that of his Democratic successor, President Bill Clinton. Many critics charged that the neoconservatives lost their influence following the collapse of the Soviet Union. In the late 1990s Irving Kristol and other writers in neoconservative magazines began touting anti-Darwinist views, in support of intelligent design. Since these neoconservatives were largely of secular backgrounds, a few commentators have speculated that this – along with support for religion generally – may have been a case of a "noble lie", intended to protect public morality, or even tactical politics, to attract religious supporters. A Summary of Long Term “Neocon Globalist” Agendas of the Global Elite by Edward Ulrich, updated September 14, 2010 Bush's policies changed dramatically immediately after the September 11, 2001, attacks. According to columnist Gerard Baker, It took, improbably, the arrival of George Bush in the White House and September 11, 2001, to catapult [neoconservatism] into the public consciousness. When Mr Bush cited its most simplified tenet — that the United States should seek to promote liberal democracy around the world — as a key case for invading Iraq, neoconservatism was suddenly everywhere. It was, to its many critics, a unified ideology that justified military adventurism, sanctioned torture, and promoted aggressive Zionism. Bush laid out his vision of the future in his State of the Union speech in January 2002, following the September 11, 2001, attacks. The speech, written by (now) neoconservative David Frum, named Iraq, Iran, and North Korea as states that "constitute an axis of evil" and "pose a grave and growing danger." Bush suggested the possibility of preemptive war: "I will not wait on events, while dangers gather. I will not stand by, as peril draws closer and closer. The United States of America will not permit the world's most dangerous regimes to threaten us with the world's most destructive weapons." ![]() So, what is a 'neocon'? By Bill Steigerwald May 29, 2004 Rich Lowry: Historically, 30 years ago it meant a former liberal who became a conservative. They were associated with Irving Kristol's journal, the Public Interest, that had a lot of social-science pieces poking empirical holes in liberal theory. These people were former liberals, former Democrats, and in some cases former communists, but gradually over 30 years they really merged into the conservative mainstream, and the difference was very difficult to tell. Paul Weyrich: They are influential because they promote each other. They are very skilled at that. Paul Gigot: I think of neoconservatism as having a very specific meaning related to history. That is, the neoconservatives were people who in the 1970s were former liberals, in some cases socialists, who moved right in reaction to the left's shift on cultural mores, personal responsibility and foreign policy. George Will: Who are they? The ones most commonly mentioned are Charles Krauthammer, Paul Wolfowitz, maybe Dick Cheney and his aide, Scooter Libby, Doug Feith in the Pentagon, Bill Kristol. ![]() Are neoconservatives “Trotskyites”? Trotskyism is simply a type of Communism, and no one believes that neoconservatives are Communists. Are neoconservatives “Trotskyites”? Part II: How neocons evolved from conservatives into revolutionaries Neoconservatives are radical revolutionaries who have deep contempt for civil society and its institution. People who believe they can dismantle a society and replace it with an entirely new one are cousins of Trotskyites. This is an amazing statement. It was the neoconservatives, at least in their earlier days, who were seen as the defenders of our institutions. They were the critics of leftist attempts to reconstruct things. Norman Podhoretz said that the single thing he most feared was social disruption. They respected the family and basic common sense and limits. Now they’ve become virtually the opposite of what they started out as. It’s quite amazing. Part of the explanation for this shift is that the former disrupters became the establishment, and when that happened, the neocons, who feared violent disruption more than they loved any particular social order, became far less alarmed at the left. My classic example of this is Podhoretz in the mid '90s saying that homosexuals seeking to get married was not such a bad thing because it meant they were not trying to disrupt society’s institutions but join them. This statement by Norman P. encapsulates the neocons’s fundamental lack of conservative principle. They want a smoothly running social order. If it’s a smoothly running social order consisting of workfare and homosexual marriage and a degraded popular culture, they can live with that. The Return of the Neocons’ Prodigal Son Peter Hitchens is completely right… in his own mind I believe myself to be descended from some of the Puritans who were Cromwell’s Ironsides, and I’m proud of that. When I listen to the excuses made for the culture of self-stupefaction, I can feel the scorn of those sober old Psalm-singers in my blood, and I’m with them. ![]() Trotskyism to Anachronism: The Neoconservative Revolution Neoconservatives and Trotskyism March 22, 2004 The Neoconservatives: The Men Who Are Changing America's Politics (1978) "Trotskyist neocon" assertion one of their main weapons in the ongoing feud. Web sites such as The Center for Libertarian Studies' LewRockwell.com and Antiwar.com, and magazines such as Pat Buchanan's American Conservative and the Rockford Institute's Chronicles, have all featured articles focusing on the supposed link between the neocons and Leon Trotsky. The most extreme paleocons, who flirt dangerously with outright anti-Semitism, claim not only that neoconservatism is derivative of Trotskyism but that a "cabal of Jewish neocons" is manipulating US foreign policy and actually implementing Trotsky's theory of permanent revolution from the (2004) White House. NeoConservatism - Where Trotsky Meets Stalin & Hitler Certain important differences remain, notably the neoconservatives' hostility not only to Nazi race-theory but even to the most benign understanding of national or ethnic coherence. On the surface, there are also glaring differences in economics. However, the neoconservative glorification of the free market is more rhetoric, designed to placate the businessmen who fund them, than reality. In fact, the neoconservatives favor not free enterprise but a kind of state capitalism -- within the context of the global apparatus of the World Bank and the IMF -- that Hitler would have appreciated. Tea Party Sarah is a Neocon Many neoconservatives like Paul Wolfowitz are disciples of a philosopher who believed that the elite should use deception, religious fervor and perpetual war to control the ignorant masses. How the Trotskyites took over the Republican party, and bringing he world to the brink WW4. ![]() Tea Party Sarah is a Neocon Sarah Palin delivered a speech prior to her keynote at the Republican Tea Party fest in Nashville scheduled for this weekend. In addition to touching on government spending and the bankster bailout, Palin said the underwear bomber Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab should have been grilled before he was read his Miranda rights. ![]() Neocon Sarah sets her sights on the Tea Party movement.

Tim Pawlenty neocon, Ron Paul anti-neocon; the great GOP clash The latest new Tim Pawlenty is the born-again neoconservative moving to the far right on warmaking issues, destined to clash with Ron Paul in the presidential debates. Actually, Pawlenty is not a born-again neocon. This is his first birth as warmaker in his latest version of Pawlenty. By contrast with Ron Paul, who has always been Ron Paul The Anti-Neocon David Corn July 20, 2005 "I'm the anti-neocon." That's how Robert Merry recently described himself to me. After reading his new book—Sands of Empire: Missionary Zeal, American Foreign Policy, and the Hazards of Global Ambition —I have to say: He got that right. His book is the most scorching mainstream critique of the neocons and their misadventure in Iraq that I have encountered. Merry, the publisher of Congressional Quarterly and a former reporter for The Wall Street Journal, rips apart that small band of ideologically driven chickenhawks and leaves their bones scattered on the floor of a Council of Foreign Relations conference room. ![]() Small Isn’t Beautiful By WILLIAM KRISTOL Given recent history, the right should think twice before charging into battle against Barack Obama under the banner of “small-government conservatism.” December 8, 2008 Military hawks upset with debt deal Neoconservatives, such as William Kristol and John Bolton, are worried about looming military spending cuts. ![]() How a Top U.S. Zionist Picked Sarah Palin for Vice President For such a small publication, Rupert Murdoch’s The Weekly Standard and its editor, William Kristol, sure do wield a lot of influence. Now Kristol is bragging that he was instrumental in getting John McCain to choose avowed Israel-lover Sarah Palin as his running mate. What is it about Sarah Palin that has Zionists jumping for joy? Has Sarah Palin, as one pundit said it, “soaked up the neo-con view of the world”? ![]() Former US Ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton said that the debt deal's reduction of military spending 'potentially points a dagger at the heart of our national security' [EPA] Don and Roma Congresswoman Michele Bachmann Congressman Ron Paul (R-TX) U.S. Senator from Iowa, Chuck Grassley. They discuss Attorney General Eric Holder testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee and House Oversight and Governmental Reform Committee about Project Gunrunner. Project Gunrunner is a program that is being investigated that sells gun to Mexican merchants and then end up in the drug cartels hands. Why is the main stream media not covering this story? Shifting Values and the New Barbarism Jul 20 2006 As nightfall does not come at once, neither does oppression. In both instances, there's a twilight where everything remains seemingly unchanged, and it is in such twilight that we must be aware of change in the air, however slight, lest we become unwitting victims of the darkness. -- Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas

Eat the rich Neocon Teabogs Really Are "Bloodlusting Terrorists" teabagging April 13, 2009 Urban Word of the Day The insertion of one man's sack into another person's mouth. Used a practical joke or prank, when performed on someone who is asleep, or as a sexual political act. To have a man insert his scrotum into another person's mouth in the fashion of a teabag into a mug with an up/down (in/out) motion. An adult act performed by consenting republican/conservatives on each other to express their fake outrage to imaginary tax increases (most of these idiots actually just got a tax break) During this act one republican/conservative nut job (pun intended) drops his pants in public and slowly lowers his scrotum into the eager mouth of another right wing nut lover.

It’s “Legalization” by Alexander Hunter for The Washington Times. ![]() It appears to be a graphic showing that under criminalization, there is an inevitable link between marijuana and huge black-market profits, which then leads to blood and violence. And the scissors and dotted line indicates legalization severing that connection. Hitting the cartels where it hurts Gary Johnson’s OpEd in The Washington Times
