Looks like the Neocons are getting that next big war they've been having
wet dreams about for years.

America,
get ready for
NEOCON CHRISTMAS...





Please leave a brief post here if you share this fear.

1. The only consolation...

At least the fearless neocon warmongers are all experienced former battlefield soldiers
and rugged war-veterans themselves.


Thank goodness for that, eh?

2. As long as they go fight it. Remember Richard led his troops.

I think the ones pictured may be descended from John. He stole the kingdom and ran it in to the ground.

3. Well Syria is one of the 7 countries they wanted to be in

In 5 years.
Oil oil oil oil!!!!!

5. The Neocon Mantra??????

6. Either this was posted too late at night, or...

Most of DU doesn't consider the Neocons to be a problem.


Perhaps they are frightened of ISIS?

Is ISIS the NEW Bin Laden/Al Qaeda?


If you aren't terrified of ISIS, you are simply
not cooperating.

10. Will they talk the president in to more tax cuts?

We will need to cut taxes for rich people to pay for the war!!



Leo Strauss' Philosophy of Deception


http://www.alternet.org/story/15935/leo_strauss%27_philosophy_of_deception

...this regime of secrecy, deception and propaganda is an essential feature of the neoconservative political philosophy that now drives the leadership of both major political parties. Leo Strauss, the intellectual godfather of the neocons, was a refugee from 1930s Germany who believed that any genuine effort to achieve “government of the people, by the people, for the people” was doomed to end as the Weimar Republic did in Germany with the rise of Hitler and the Nazis. Strauss had a very dark Hobbesian view of human nature, which he justified with “secret” meanings he claimed were hidden in the works of Plato, Nietzsche and all philosophers. Strauss did not believe that the general public could handle the truth as he saw it, so that any system in which the public held real power would surely end in barbarism.

The Straussian solution to this imaginary problem is a system of “managed democracy,” in which a privileged high priesthood or oligarchy monopolizes real power as it oversees a superficial structure of democracy and promotes patriotic and religious myths to ensure the loyalty of the public and the cohesion of society. Political scientist Sheldon Wolin has dubbed this “inverted totalitarianism.” Because it is less openly offensive than “classical totalitarianism,” the inverted form may be more sustainable and therefore more successful in achieving a total concentration of wealth and power, paradoxically making it more insidious and dangerous than the classical totalitarianism the Straussians claim to be saving us from.

12. The Neocons are requesting:

"Dear America,

Buy us something nice. Like war."

Sincerely,
Your Darling Neocons

13. And just why are none of them facing

charges for War Crimes before the Hague?

14. Good targets for shoe throwing.

Or prison. They have fucking destroyed this country or nearly so and can't wait to finish us off. They love picking the carcass.

I haven't caught any recently.

Maybe they're just too busy behind-the-scenes right now to appear on any
talk shows at this time.
