Do republicans really believe that the same GOP dopes who served us up George Bush(twice!)and then the democrat from Arizona John McCain have now found a true conservative in Bobby Jindal?
It's clear that the GOP is as clueless as ever. Let's face it - if Jindal didn't have dark skin, no one would know who he is.(This, by the way, is the textbook definition of racism - judging someone by the color of his skin. Yes, folks, your republican leadership is very cynical.)
I say this. Let us take this opportunity to cleanse the party of every last neocon. We all know that the democrat party has been infested with the ultra-left. What is less known is that the remaining democrats, newly disenfranchised(if I may), and more militant than ever, then proceeded to infiltrate the republican party. The result was, sadly, years and years of every-increasing sociliasm, the erstwhile republic turned into a warfare/welfare state.
After all, remember that "neo" means "that which comes after". Why can't we just drop this particularly odious
prefix and return to - simply - conservatism.
This is an especially salient and succint definition of neoconservatism, for the enjoyment of my legions of devoted and loyal readers:
Neoconservatism is a political philosophy that emerged in the
United States. Its key distinction is in international affairs, where
it espouses an interventionist approach that seeks to defend what
neo-conservatives deem as national interests. In addition, unlike
traditional conservatives, neoconservatives are comfortable with a
minimally-bureaucratic welfare state; and, while generally supportive of free markets, they are willing to interfere for overriding social purposes.[1]
