Neocon 101



Here is a GREAT video in which Republican candidate Ron Paul (R-TX) gives a brief overview of the neoconservative movement (of which he is not a proponent of).

The neoconservatives are a class of policy-pushers that currently inhabit the upper echelons of D.C. politics (see GWB post 9/11, Cheney, Wolfowitz, and Bill Kristol).

In short, neoconservatives push for big government, an expansive American empire, military muscling of foreign powers, infringement on civil liberties and deception of the people, and a controlling elite that manages the media, policies, and surveillance directed at the general populace.

The neocons are able to justify trampling on the Constitution in order to push their agenda. This is in defiance of the American people and the founding fathers. I don't know about you, but I would like a say in what goes on in Washington. Make your vote count...
