What is a NeoCon?
NeoCon is
the short form for NeoConservative, a term coined by Irving
Kristol and used as the title of his book. The political
philosophy is predicated on the work of Leo Strauss, who taught at
the University of Chicago. ( Wikipedia)
Straussian 'philosophy' is an amalgamation of debunked justifications
for lying, cheating and stealing to seize power, if of course, you
are intended by destiny to succeed. The circularity of it has
especial appeal to individuals emotionally frozen in an extended
adolescence, which characterized NeoCons.
Rockefeller Republicans morphed into NeoCons, explaining where that variety of corporate went.
While the focus
has been on individuals such as the Kristols and the Bush
Administration as representing the whole of the cadre we know as
'neocon,' it is arguably more important to understand these most
visible individuals employed a significant number within journalism,
think tanks, and academia to promulgate neoconservativism or its
derivatives as authentic, ideologically based viewpoints, fictions
lavishly promoted by those who stood to profit in the billions and
trillions.
The use of idea
sets, philosophies, used to justify actions that otherwise violate
the tenets of America's Declaration of Independence and the
Constitution as written, is the approach adopted by the corporate
interests from the time of the Civil War.
We will identify individuals who are employed by 'the neocons' with the reasons they should be so identified. We leave it to the Democrats to identify the same elements within their own ranks. Let's see if they have the intestinal fortitude to do so.
See NeoCon Action Report page for more on the neocons. Suggest listings and tell us why you think they could be included.
