The NeoCons, almost as if by design, have destroyed the last remaining vestiges of Conservatism in the US. By Conservatism I mean the idea of limited government; the concept that government is supposed to be responsible to the hard working taxpayers. What I think hammered in the final nail was the Iraq war.
Can someone please explain to me how invading a country that did not threaten us, nor posed any danger to us is somehow a “conservative value”? And if liberating a country from a malevolent dictator is the goal, then boy or boy, do we have our work cut out for us. There are at least another dozen countries that fit that bill. Isn’t it hypocritical of us to think that the Iraqis are the only ones who deserve to be “liberated”?
The conservative poseur-in-chief, Rush Limbaugh is still beating the drum: Why Dick Cheney Is Our Hero.
Don’t forget, the NeoCons almost all started out as Leftists. Which meant that they thought that big government was the answer to all problems. Well guess what? The NeoCons never changed! They still believe in big government. Just with different programs.
