Neocon WolverDean
The bright and challenging Dean Esmay from Dean’s World commented that most of us do not know what a neoconservative stands for and even though Dean self-identifies with the movement, he seems unwilling to divulge the secret. So let’s help him help us by going into the dark lair of some neocons and listen to them describe themselves. This is a rather long and recent diatribe in honor of Irving Kristol from a troublesome (but highly representative blog called The American Thinker). Be warned, the answer to the question: What is a neoconservative is long and treacherous.
With the passing of the Godfather of neoconservatism, Irving Kristol, the release the same week of the book Why Are Jews Liberals, (2009), by Norman Podhoretz, and the arrival of the annual Jewish high holidays, one entertains the fascinating subject of American Jewish politics.
Neoconservatism, of course, is not essentially a Jewish political philosophy, and some of its leading exponents and adherents are/were not Jewish (Hons. Jeane Kirkpatrick, Scoop Jackson, Daniel Patrick Moynihan, Wiliam J. Bennett, James Q. Wilson, and John Bolton, to name just a few admired American statesmen), but the list of Jewish intellectual forebears who inspired neoconservative ideas is impressive (Max Shactman, Leo Strauss, and Lionel Trilling, to name just a few).

Riddikkulous mess of word porridge.
I will tell you of neocons.
They are Meddlers that tear up the social structure fabric of other cultures, and then moan and cry when the Reavers come through the gaps to attack them, or to ungratefully throw down their works.
They are religious…..they are evangelists of “Judeo-xian” democracy, which is really White Protestant Democracy, since the majority of Jews want nothing to do with them, as Podhortz points out.
