While I was not of voting age in the early 2000s, I remember the rhetoric of the neocons. "They hate us because of our freedoms! We have to fight them over there so they do not attack us over here!"
When I examine every neocon still around, I find their only pillar of their supposed "conservative" values are building a strong military. Reduce spending and uphold traditional values? Those come last (if at all) when compared to sending soldiers to die in Israel's interests.
Fuck neocons.
